Romances that blossom in Hollywood are often flashy and flashy, but they are often fleeting. In a world full of scandals and broken relationships, the story of British beauty Emily Blunt and her talented director husband John Krasinski has made fans believe that true love is not just somewhere on the screen, but exists right here.
Love at first sight
It is no exaggeration to say that the love story of Emily Blunt and John Krasinski is just like a sweet romantic movie on the big screen. The couple fell in love at first sight and immediately realized that the other person was their other half. The meeting between Emily Blunt and John Krasinski happened by chance when both were still enjoying their happy single days. When Emily Blunt was sitting with a friend in a restaurant and the handsome American actor and director walked in, she couldn’t help but be moved. As for John Krasinski, he once confided that he was extremely nervous when he saw the figure of the girl who would become his future wife. “She is one of the coolest people in the world. She is talented, beautiful and completely out of my reach,” Krasinski recounted his feelings at that time.
The two soon dated after the above “crush”. On their first date, John Krasinski took the beautiful actress to a shooting range for a date. The reason Krasinski explained was that he didn’t know if he had many chances with Blunt or not, so he decided to “play big” on the first time. Perhaps this date went so well that less than a year later, the couple officially got engaged. When Krasinski proposed, Emily Blunt burst into tears and both the couple and those around them were moved to tears. In July 2010, they secretly got married at superstar George Clooney’s private home in Italy. A small, private wedding with the presence of close relatives marked a new page in their dream love story.
Hollywood’s most famous couple
From dating to having a family of four, Emily Blunt and John Krasinski’s popularity has only increased. Their careers have also grown like a “kite in the wind”.
When they first met, Emily Blunt was somewhat more famous than her future husband. The actress was known for her role as Miranda Priestly’s (Meryl Streep) poor assistant in the legendary fashion film “Devil Wears Prada”. Although it was only a supporting role, Emily Blunt became a familiar face to the audience. John Krasinski was also a true fan of “Devil Wears Prada”, having watched the film over and over again 75 times. Emily Blunt’s career took off very quickly after “Devil Wears Prada”. Her classically beautiful face and elegant acting style helped Blunt get into the historical film genre. The lead role of Queen Victoria in “The Young Victoria” brought Emily Blunt to a new milestone. But the talented actress was not satisfied with the role of a female lead who was only beautiful. In “Edge of Tomorrow” with Tom Cruise and Sicario with Josh Brolin, Emily Blunt proved that she was perfect for strong and tough female characters. This was also the premise for her future collaboration with Krasinski on screen.
John Krasinski had a more difficult acting career. He started acting early but did not make much of an impression in film roles. The role of Jim Halpert in the TV series “The Office” helped Krasinski gain a certain reputation. He often plays lovable guys in comedies and is known as a comedian. His singing and dancing talents helped Krasinski become more famous when participating in reality TV shows. He was also invited to audition for Captain America but was unsuccessful. However, every step in his career was worth it when it brought John Krasinski to the role he was truly 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 to take on – film director and screenwriter.
Love bears fruit with the blockbuster “A Quiet Place”
“A Quiet Place” is John Krasinski’s third film script and is also the work in which he has invested all his passion and creative dreams. The role of the brave wife Evelyn Abbott in the script was “tailored” by Krasinski for Emily Blunt. And after reading the script, Emily understood that she could not miss this role, not because this was a script written, directed, acted in and produced by her husband, but because the role of Evelyn was so suitable for her. The film created a box office explosion worth nearly 350 million USD with a production budget of only 17 million USD.
Besides the unique script, what makes “A Quiet Place” truly linger in the audience’s heart is the story of extremely genuine family affection. The harmonious acting and special connection between the on-screen and real-life couple Emily Blunt and John Krasinski are the factors that make “A Quiet Place” successful. In the sequel of “A Quiet Place” returning after 2 years of waiting, the reunion of Emily Blunt and John Krasinski in “A Quiet Place” part 2 marks 12 years of love for the couple. Although in this part John Krasinski does not act much but mainly stays behind the camera, the audience still feels the close bond between them in the emotional family story on the film.
Receiving numerous compliments for its script and the way it builds a new atmosphere, utilizing the power of silence instead of using familiar scare tactics, “A Quiet Place 2” continues to be a “box office hit” earning nearly 300 million USD globally to date. “A Quiet Place 2” follows the surviving members of the Abbott family as they explore the vast world after the monster disaster, providing answers to the mysteries from the previous part./.
