Emily Blunt's Hilarious "What The F***?!" Moment With A Movie Script
Ever read something and just thought, "Wait, what?!" Or maybe, "Is this for real?!" Yeah, we've all been there. Apparently, even A-list stars like Emily Blunt have those exact same moments, especially when it comes to reading movie scripts!
Turns out, our favorite practical-joke-playing, "Fall Guy"-promoting, all-around fabulous actress recently spilled the beans about a script that left her utterly bewildered. And she didn't mince words, describing her initial reaction as a resounding, "What the f*** is this?!" followed by a very polite, "This is absolutely mad."
The movie in question? Wild Mountain Thyme. Now, if you've seen it, you might be nodding along, chuckling, or maybe even still trying to figure it out yourself. The film, which features a quirky Irish setting and some... shall we say, memorable accents, didn't exactly set the box office on fire or win over every critic.
So, why did Emily, who could probably get any script she wanted, sign up for something that made her scratch her head so hard? Well, sometimes, it's all about the people! She confessed that despite the script being "bonkers" (her word!), she was drawn in by the chance to work with legends like Christopher Walken, the charming Jamie Dornan, and the film's writer/director, John Patrick Shanley. When you get to play with that kind of talent, sometimes a wild script is just part of the adventure!
And even though the movie got a bit of a rough ride (especially those accents, bless 'em), Emily has absolutely no regrets. She still loves her co-stars and director, and she just thought the script itself was "nuts."
It just goes to show you: even in Hollywood, sometimes you jump into something because of the amazing people involved, even if the "instructions" are a little... out there. And hey, at least we got a hilariously honest anecdote out of it!
