Emily Blunt revealed the secret to working with her John Krasinski as she sizzled for ELLE’s 2025 Women In Hollywood Celebration issue.
The actress, 42, and John, 46, have been married since 2010, and they share two children.
They partnered up on the hit 2018 movie A Quiet Place, where they played an on-screen couple, Lee and Evelyn Abbott, who are trying to keep their family alive in a post-apocalyptic world.
In a sultry shoot for ELLE’s 2025 Women in Hollywood portfolio, as featured in the December 2025/January 2026 Issue, Emily revealed how they managed to keep their marriage strong.
She said: ‘I don’t think he knew what he was capable of. So it’s sort of like watching someone discover a superpower, which was wild.
‘Before we started, I was like, ‘Look, I’m thrilled to be doing this with you, but do you know how to shoot this movie? Because I don’t know how to shoot a movie. So I’m just asking.’

‘He was laughing and he was like, ‘I think I do know how to shoot it. I don’t know why, but I think I do.’
‘Then, my God, did he. And can you imagine if he thought I was really s**t?
‘That would not be good.
‘I think if we had done that movie and we didn’t respect or admire each other, it would’ve been an absolute disaster.’
For the shoot, Emily turned heads in a strapless leather corset and white tulle maxi skirt.
She then wowed in a statin floral number before slipping into a structured white cropped jacket and pleated skirt.

Gushing about her co-star to the publication, she said: ‘Sometimes you just have great chemistry with somebody on set, which allowed us to go wherever we needed to go.
‘As friends, we knew we could hold all of that and we did.
‘And more than any male co-star I’ve had, it was the fullest version of what that was.’
On what the movie has to say about grief and love, she explained: ‘I love love. Love is worth it. What else are you going to do? Lock yourself away?

‘I think you’ve got to live. Hamnet, even though he dies, lives on. Shakespeare has made something immortal in some way and created a way for this story, this son, this thing that happened in his life to be bigger than the moment.

‘Maybe we have to live like that.’
Hamnet was co-edited and directed by Chloé Zhao.
Having now worked several female directors, Jessie explained how it was never a ‘ conscious priority’.
She said: ‘The material has been the most interesting. I have been seismically changed by women’s singular language as directors.
‘When I have read the scripts that they’ve sent me, I recognize someone that I hope to have known and met at some point in my life.
‘The questions and the provocations and the characters—and the understanding of what it is to be a full life force, the complex spectrum of colors of a woman—is something that they have seeded in all of their movies.
‘It’s in Chloé Zhao’s Nomadland, in Sarah Polley’s documentary Stories We Tell. They’re full.
‘And I think the reason why I keep working with female directors is because they want the full story.’
