Emily Blunt’s daughters are fully on board with the Devil Wears Prada revival, and they have been doing their homework ahead of the sequel’s release.
Speaking to E! News, Blunt, 43, revealed that Hazel, 12, and Violet, 9, whom she shares with John Krasinski, only watched the original film for the first time around a year ago, largely because their friends had become obsessed with it.
And the night before she spoke, they watched it all over again.
“My kids saw it for the first time maybe a year or so ago, and partly because their friends are very into it,” she said.
“And then my kids again watched it last night because they know they’re going to see this one soon, and they just love it.”
Blunt and Krasinski have always been notably private about their family life, keeping their daughters largely out of the public eye.
The girls were famously unimpressed by their mother’s famous co-stars, until Ryan Gosling came along.
After watching him play Ken in Barbie, Hazel and Violet were apparently beside themselves when Blunt worked with him on The Fall Guy.
“They have never had any interest in anyone I’ve worked with ever,” Blunt said on Sunday Sitdown with Willie Geist in January 2024. “But Ryan is, Ryan’s it for them.”
Despite a busy acting schedule, Blunt is deliberate about being present for her children at the end of each day.
“Once my children start to find me repellent, once Mommy doesn’t reign supreme, I will do it, but I feel bedtime is this essential anchor,” she told PORTER magazine.
“The 10-minute chats where they tell you everything — you don’t want to miss them.”
The Devil Wears Prada 2 opens in cinemas on 1 May.
