Emily Blunt Set the Record Straight About Working With Tom Cruise
. Honestly, we wish she did this more often so we could have a recurring column called “To Be Blunt…” but anyway. He called her a pussy to make her laugh, and it worked.
No harm, no foul, no offense.The misunderstanding came from a recent interview gave on the Smartless podcast, in which she recalled working with the Top Gun: Maverick star on the 2014 sci-fi flick Edge Of Tomorrow.
For the movie, Blunt and Cruise had to wear heavy costumes, which Blunt, new to big budget action movies, found uncomfortable. "The first time I put it on I just started to cry in front of Tom and he didn't know what to do," she said, per . "I was like, 'Tom, I'm not sure how I'm going to get through this shoot,' and just started to cry.
I was like, 'I'm feeling a bit panicky about the whole shoot,' and he stared at me for a long time, not knowing what to do. and he goes, 'Come on, stop being such a pussy, okay?' ...I did laugh, and then we got through it."Honestly, sometimes you need that friend who'll give you a little tough love to get you out of a panic-spiral!
