“And also it’s really weird, because you don’t see a lot of Brit in her,” he goes on to joke about Blunt. “I’m not saying because you’re so cool, but you have an equanimity and a balance — you almost never talk smack about anyone.”
“Never,” agrees the film’s star Cillian Murphy, who also worked alongside Blunt in the 2021 thriller A Quiet Place Part II.
” … to our dismay,” quips Downey, 58. “So if you could work on that, that’d be great.”
“I will. I’m going to work on some smack-talking. I’ll write that down,” Blunt replies.
Blunt previously reflected on where she was when she found out she had been named as a nominee in the Oscars’ Best Supporting Actress category.
“I did have a brief cry when I learned … directly after picking up my dog’s poop,” Blunt told MTV’s Josh Horowitz on the Happy Sad Confused podcast. “I did pick up the poop, and then I heard that I got nominated.”
She added that her husband and fellow actor John Krasinski “had a really good cry, as well” as they learned she’d nabbed a Best Supporting Actress nod for her role in Oppenheimer.
“After helping me with the poop — I think he went and put it in the trash, and then we both cried,” Blunt joked.
