Actors Emily Blunt and John Krasinski recently made a rare public appearance with their daughters, Hazel, 12, and Violet, 10, at the US Open in New York. The family was seen in the stands at Arthur Ashe Stadium on Sunday, watching the Men's Finals match between American player Ben Shelton and Germany's Alexander Zverev. The couple, married since 2010, opted for casual attire, with Krasinski in a striped polo shirt and Blunt in an orange sleeveless top accessorized with gold jewelry.
Blunt has previously spoken about her daughters' budding interest in acting, expressing concerns about the challenges of the industry. She told Harper's Bazaar UK that she worries when people say their daughters want to be actresses, citing the potential for disappointment and the personal nature of judgment in acting, particularly regarding appearance. She also finds it difficult when her work requires her to be away from home, emphasizing the importance of maintaining daily routines for her children.
In April, Blunt shared that her daughters had watched her 2006 film "The Devil Wears Prada" and were enthusiastic about a forthcoming sequel. Her husband, Krasinski, is also a fan of the original film and was reportedly thrilled about the prospect of a second installment. Filming for "The Devil Wears Prada 2" in New York last summer involved Meryl Streep, Blunt, Anne Hathaway, and Stanley Tucci, and generated significant public interest, which Blunt described as making the filming process challenging at times.
Blunt has also reflected on "The Devil Wears Prada" as a "nostalgia bank" for audiences, noting that many viewers have rewatched the film during significant life events and found comfort and escapism in it. She believes the film's appeal lies in its blend of comedy, the shocking nature of its dialogue, and its exploration of the ruthless fashion industry, which evolves into a more poignant narrative, contributing to its enduring resonance with viewers.
