Emily Blunt recently shared insights into her experiences kissing some of the biggest leading men in Hollywood during an interview with Howard Stern. The actress, known for her roles in various blockbuster films, including her current project 'The Fall Guy' alongside Ryan Gosling, revealed that not all on-screen kisses were as glamorous as they appear.
Blunt has worked with a star-studded lineup of actors, such as John Krasinski, Dwayne Johnson, Chris Evans, Cillian Murphy, and Tom Cruise. Despite her professional demeanor, she admitted to feeling queasy after some kissing scenes, emphasizing that while it wasn't extreme loathing, there were instances where she did not enjoy the experience.
'The Fall Guy,' directed by David Leitch and starring Ryan Gosling, follows the story of a stuntman on a mission to find a missing movie star, uncover a conspiracy, and mend his relationship. Blunt shared her approach to building chemistry with co-stars, highlighting the importance of finding something to appreciate about each person, whether it's their laugh, mannerisms, or character traits.
Blunt also discussed the art of creating on-screen chemistry, noting that after years in the industry, she could generate chemistry with anyone. However, she emphasized the ease of working with someone with whom she shares a natural rapport, like Ryan Gosling, whom she described as a 'gem of a person.'
Addressing the portrayal of romance in films, Blunt expressed a preference for 'slow-burn' love stories over explicit sex scenes, citing her film 'Salmon Fishing in The Yemen' as an example of a more nuanced approach to on-screen relationships.
Despite 'The Fall Guy' debuting at the top of the box office with a $28 million opening, concerns loom over the potential sequel's success, given the modest initial earnings. While the film continues its theatrical run, Blunt's candid revelations about her on-screen experiences offer a glimpse into the complexities of creating chemistry and authenticity in the world of cinema.
