Emily Blunt Takes a Lie Detector Test

[Interviewer] Do you prefer the British Office

to the American version?

[Emily gasps]

What?

Around my waist?

Or a little bit higher.

So around my.

Raise, your arms.

Barry, how many of these have you done for Vanity Fair?

Oh my god.

Relax.

I'm not very relaxed.

[machine scratching]

[Interviewer] To start off,

I'm going to ask you a series of yes questions.

Okay.

[Interviewer] The answer to these should all be yes.

We're going to get a baseline for your blood pressure.

I'm sweating.

Go on.

[Interviewer] Is your name Emily Olivia Leah Blunt?

Yes.

[Interviewer] Were you born on February 23rd?

Yes.

[Interviewer] Are you ready to take this

lie detector test?

No.

[Interviewer] First, we're going to start

by talking about your career.

Okay.

[Interviewer] Is it true you turned down

a pop record contract when you were in high school?

Yes.

[Interviewer] If you had accepted it,

would it be fair to say

you'd be more of a Alanis Morissette than a Lady Gaga?

No.

[Interviewer] You would have been a Lady Gaga then?

I would have hoped to have been a Lady Gaga.

[Interviewer] Do you think

you would have been more successful than Lady Gaga?

No.

[Interviewer] What about Billie Eilish?

No.

Who's bigger than Billie Eilish?

[Interviewer] You've said that

you find singing in front of people

to be incredibly nerve-wracking

and yet you've sung on both film and TV.

Is being humble just an act?

No.

[Interviewer] Is that true, Barry?

That is true.

[Interviewer] Do you consider yourself

to be a talented actress?

[Emily laughs]

Pause.

That just made me sweat.

Keep going.

[Interviewer] Before you became an actress.

Is it true that you considered being a translator?

Yes.

[Interviewer] Are you at all jealous

of this translators career?

No, not now.

Although I would have liked to have met him

or work with him.

Yes, I'm jealous, but no, I'm not.

I'm happy.

I made the right decision on career move, Barry.

Yep.

[Interviewer] You were 18 when you worked with

Dame Judi Dench in a play.

Yeah.

Yes. Correct.

[Interviewer] At the time,

did she insist that you call her Dame Judi Dench?

No, Judi.

[Interviewer] Would you like to be a Dame?

Sure.

Yeah.

She's telling the truth.

Dame Blunt.

It's quite nice.

[Interviewer] You won a golden globe in 2007.

Do you know where it is right now?

No.

It's in my mom's house.

[Interviewer] That true?

[Barry] That is true.

Yeah.

[Interviewer] Have you ever rewatched

your acceptance speech?

Yes.

[Interviewer] Thoughts?

Terrible.

[Emily laughs]

Maybe the worst.

[Interviewer] Do you rewatch a lot of your stuff

on YouTube?

Like stuff that I've done?

[Interviewer] Yeah.

No.

[Interviewer] Will you watch this?

Yeah, I might actually.

[Interviewer] Tom Cruise is known to send cakes

every year to all of his former costars.

Since you were his costar in Edge of Tomorrow,

does Tom Cruise send you cakes?

I got a coconut cake this Christmas and I ate it.

[Interviewer] You also learned Krav Maga

for Edge of Tomorrow?

Yeah.

[Interviewer] Have you kept up your practice since then?

No.

[Interviewer] You think you could take on

Barry in a fight?

Yes.

[laughs] You wish.

I have a Superman punch that's pretty lethal

Barry so, watch out.

[Interviewer] That the truth Barry?

It is true that she believes that.

[Emily laughs]

It's whether it's possible or not is another thing.

[Interviewer] Have you ever introduced your daughters

to a celebrity, they love just to impress them.

I introduced Hazel to Bruno Mars

and she was pretty stoked.

[Interviewer] So, she was impressed.

She was impressed.

[Interviewer] Let's move on to pop culture.

Okay.

[Interviewer] You're a big fan of Shark Tank, right?

Yeah.

[Interviewer] If you were on the show

and Mr. Wonderful was the only person to offer you a deal

would you accept it?

No.

[Interviewer] Who is your favorite shark?

I think Laurie, right.

She's the nicest.

[Interviewer] Do you own any items

that were on Shark Tank?

No.

[Interviewer] Is that true?

[Barry] That is true.

[Interviewer] Have you ever ordered something off of QVC?

No.

Sorry Laurie.

[Emily laughs]

[Interviewer] Your husband played Jim Halpert

on the Office.

Did he?

[Interviewer] I believe so.

Okay.

[Interviewer] Has John ever called you Pam by accident?

No.

[Emily laughs]

[Interviewer] What about Meredith?

[Emily laughs]

No.

[Interviewer] Do you prefer the British Office

to the American version?

No.

[Interviewer] Is that true?

That is true.

I like them equally Barry.

[Interviewer] Your last name is Blunt?

Yeah.

[Interviewer] So, does that mean you're 420 friendly?

Huh, what's 420 friendly?

[Interviewer] Are you sick of weed jokes

about your last name?

No.

[Interviewer] So do you mind if I make a few more?

Go for it.

[Interviewer] I guess I'll pass.

Great.

[Interviewer] Would you say the last name Blunt

is better than Krasinski?

Yes.

That's why I kept it.

He thinks so too.

It's all right.

[Interviewer] John has said he saw

the Devil Wears Prada more than 72 times.

Don't you think that's a little much?

Yes.

[Interviewer] Have you ever seen any of his performances

more than 72 times?

I mean, I watched probably about 72 episodes

of the Office.

So, let's go with that.

Did you just put a strike against my,

it felt like you just did a pen move.

I do that, to note where the question was.

All right.

All right, Barry

[Interviewer] This fashion week moment

of you and Blake Lively once went viral.

Yeah. Look at us.

Oh my god.

[Interviewer] Do you remember

what you were laughing about?

I think I was worried that she was flashing her vagina

so it might've been something to do with that.

Zendaya doesn't look very happy though, with our jokes.

[Interviewer] Is Blake Lively your BFF?

[Emily laughs]

She wishes.

[Interviewer] Are you her BFF?

No.

Ryan is.

[Interviewer] You've talked about your obsession

with the show Peaky Blinders.

Yeah.

[Interviewer] Would you say

you find that accent attractive?

Yeah, I do.

[Interviewer] As you're a master of accents yourself.

Oh.

[Interviewer] You think you could do a Birmy accent?

No.

[Barry laughs]

[Interviewer] Would you say that the paparazzi

is the worst part of being famous?

Yeah.

[Interviewer] That true?

[Barry] That is.

[Interviewer] Have you ever sworn at a paparazzi?

No.

[Interviewer] Have you ever said no

to a fan's request for a selfie?

Yes.

If I'm with my kids.

[Interviewer] Since you're not with your kids

if Barry were to ask you.

Barry's getting one.

[Barry] Thank you.

[Emily laughs]

[Interviewer] Let's move on to the final category,

which is your life.

Okay.

[Emily laughs]

[Interviewer] Let's be serious.

Okay. I'm sorry.

But I'm doing well.

So, I'm like totally relaxed now.

[Interviewer] Would you say she's doing well, Barry?

She's doing well so far.

So far.

Okay, but life stuff gets a bit more personal.

So, I'm a little bit scared.

Go on.

[Interviewer] You were born in London, England.

Yeah.

[Interviewer] Would you say that the stereotype

of Brits having a stiff upper lip is accurate.

Yes.

[Interviewer] Do you have a stiff upper lip?

No.

[Interviewer] You don't sound very convinced.

I think maybe I've adapted to American ways a little bit.

Maybe I enthuse more readily now.

[Interviewer] Are you at all interested

in the happenings of the British Royal family?

Yes.

[Interviewer] Oh, so really interested.

Not really interested.

[Interviewer] Somewhat interested.

Somewhat interested.

[Interviewer] Now that she stepped down

from her Royal duties.

Are you worried about encountering this woman in auditions?

[Emily laughs]

Who wouldn't, right.

She's a knockout.

We were just talking this morning

about how beautiful she was and cool.

Yeah, I'd be worried.

[Interviewer] Your brother-in-law is Stanley Tucci.

Does that mean you're part of the Tucci gang?

The Tucci gang.

Is that the SNL thing?

I'm not a Tucci.

[Interviewer] You could still be a part of the gang.

Can I?

I'd love to be a part of the gang.

I'm in.

[Interviewer] Stanley met your sister

at your wedding and they ended up getting married.

So, would you consider yourself to be a matchmaker?

No, I had no intention on them matching.

They just found each other at the wedding.

[Interviewer] So, did you try and fight it?

No.

[Interviewer] You got married on George Clooney's estate

in Italy.

Is George as charming as he seems?

Yes.

[Interviewer] Really?

Really, really.

[Barry] Really.

[Interviewer] Do you like the taste of Casamigos tequila?

[Emily laughs]

I have others that I prefer.

[Interviewer] Do you like Casamigos,

as much as Ryan Reynolds, Aviation gin.

I haven't tried Aviation gin

and I think last time I drank gin,

I drank too much of it.

And I found that I went to bed, not in the best mood.

So I think I'm going to stick with Casamigos.

[Interviewer] Have you ever considered starting

your own alcohol brand?

No.

[Interviewer] In a Quiet Place,

your and John's characters dance to Harvest Moon

by Neil Young.

Is that your song?

Like he and I song?

It is not.

[Interviewer] Do you have a song?

Yeah.

[Interviewer] Is that private?

Yes.

[Barry laughs]

[Interviewer] In a 2019 interview,

you vowed to learn the ukulele.

Yes I did.

[Interviewer] Are you any good?

I'm okay.

Not great.

[Interviewer] Are your daughters impressed?

No.

They told me to stop playing.

So, that's why I kind of am not great.

[Interviewer] Did you lie at any point

during this lie detector test?

No.

[Interviewer] You're 100% honest.

Yes.

She has passed the lie detector test.

Nailed it.

[Emily laughs]

[crowd clapping]

Come on now.

Miss Blunt,

can we take that selfie now?
