Emily Blunt has opened up about her experience of working with her husband, John Krasinski. During an interview for ELLE's 2025 Women In Hollywood Celebration issue, the actress reflected on how she's maintained a strong relationship in her marriage. The actress collaborated with her husband on the 2018 movie A Quiet Place, where they portrayed an on-screen couple, Lee and Evelyn Abbott, who navigate a post-apocalyptic world. "I don't think he knew what he was capable of," she shared of her partner. "So it's sort of like watching someone discover a superpower, which was wild."

The 42-year-old admitted that she was initially apprehensive about teaming up with John for the film. "Before we started, I was like, 'Look, I'm thrilled to be doing this with you, but do you know how to shoot this movie? Because I don't know how to shoot a movie. So I'm just asking,'" she recalled. "He was laughing and he was like, 'I think I do know how to shoot it. I don't know why, but I think I do.' Then, my God, did he. And can you imagine if he thought I was really [expletive]? That would not be good." She continued: "I think if we had done that movie and we didn't respect or admire each other, it would've been an absolute disaster."
