Emily Blunt and John Krasinski have endeavored to keep their two daughters out of the spotlight, although it looks like behind the scenes, they've caught the acting bug like their parents.
Emily, 43, and John, 46, who have been married since 2010, share pre-teen daughters Hazel, 12, and Violet, 10, and in a new interview, the actress revealed that they're already taking after their parents.

While the actress isn't particularly a fan of the idea of having her daughters follow her and John into the acting world, "I'm just going to have to support it no matter what might terrify me for them, or no matter how much I push STEM down their throats."
Emily was also full of gushing praise for her husband, who is currently working on A Quiet Place Part III, intended to be the final film to complete the central trilogy. The film is currently slated for a July 30, 2027 release.
Branding him a "freak genius," she said of his work style: "He'll 'Beautiful Mind' it, these weird Post-its everywhere, and then he'll go underground for a week and write a near-perfect draft."

"My toes curl when people tell me, 'My daughter wants to be an actress.' I want to say, don't do it!" she remarked. "Because it's a hard industry and it can be very disappointing. A lot of people tell you not to take things personally – but it's completely personal, especially when you're being judged on how you look. So you just have to endure that side of things."

She also especially finds it hard to spend long periods of time on film sets and away from her daughters, unable to witness their major milestones. "Because even though they're hardy, and they're used to this strange life, it's still rough on them when I have to go away," Emily said.

"And I just want to be able to say, yes, yes, yes. It's such an exhale for me to be able to do that."
