Emily Blunt says Tom Cruise told her to “stop being such an app” on set

Emily Blunt She got a dose of tough love from her co-star Tom Cruise During the production of their 2014 blockbuster movie, Edge of tomorrow.

while appearing on the podcast SartlesThe British actress, 39, recalled that the action icon told him to “stop being like that”.

The grueling production of the sci-fi movie, which featured Blunt and Cruise dealing with an alien species, called for the stars to wear “massive” suits to make the scenes as realistic as possible.

“We had to put on these huge suits, which I think would have been nice if we had CGI, but we wanted to do it in a tangible way,” Blunt explained to the podcast hosts. Jason BatemanAnd the Will Arnett And the Sean HayesThe New York Post mentioned. “When you hear the word ‘touch,’ you think, ‘That sounds cute and comfy. There was nothing comfy about these suits. It was like 85 pounds. They were so heavy. The first time I put them on, I started crying, and Cruz didn’t know what to do.'”

Blunt went on to say that she expressed concern to Cruise about how she would pull off the production with an 85-pound suit that weighed her down.

“I was like, Tom, I’m not sure how to get over this shot, and I just started crying,” Blunt recalled. I said, ‘I’m feeling a bit of a panic about the whole shoot. “

Responding to her concerns, Cruz said directly to Blunt: “He just stared at me for a long time, not knowing what to do, and said, ‘Come on, stop being such a place, okay? ‘” “”

Fortunately, Blunt took the comment well and responded to Cruise by laughing it off.

“I was in Tanzania and was climbing Mount Meru and we were warned about fire ants. They’re like these giant red ants, and when they bite you, it’s… fire. So I was walking down and I looked down and obviously I got into a nest, I must have only had a hundred to climb My shoes are around my ankles,” Blunt She told Yahoo Entertainment last year. Blunt dealt with the situation quickly, pulling down her pants in front of everyone and shaking them until the ants scattered all over the ground. “This was the most terrifying. Everyone was screaming and trying to push them away from me. They were climbing up all over my leg and I had some little jumps.”

Blunt’s co-stars clearly think highly of her: Johnson has referred to Blunt as a “female Indiana Jones” because of her adventurous onscreen endeavors.
