Emily Blunt has kissed some princes, but as it turns out, there have also been some frogs.
During an April 30 visit to “The Howard Stern Show,” Blunt 41, revealed: “I’ve had chemistry with people I haven’t liked.”
Howard Stern, 70, asked her, “Who?” to which she replied: “I’m not gonna tell you.”
“Have you wanted to throw up?” Stern asked Blunt about kissing a fellow actor onscreen.
“Absolutely. Absolutely,” she answered.
She added, “I wouldn’t say it’s sort of extreme loathing, but I’ve definitely not enjoyed some of it.”
Similar to when “Dune” and “Mission: Impossible” star Rebecca Ferguson talked about a colleague yelling at her, Blunt has dropped this bomb without naming names, but there are clues on who it could be.
Benicio Del Toro
Blunt worked with Del Toro, 57, on the 2010 reboot of the classic monster movie “The Wolfman.” Blunt played his love interest, Gwen, and the two shared an onscreen smooch.
However, one factor that might eliminate the Puerto Rican actor is that Blunt went on to do 2015’s “Sicario” with him – if he had made her want to “throw up” from a kiss, she might not have worked with him again.
Matt Damon
Damon, 53, and Blunt played star-crossed lovers in the 2011 sci-fi romantic action movie, “The Adjustment Bureau.” However, the two have since starred in “Oppenheimer” together, and they have done a slew of friendly interviews where they’ve argued about food.
So, unless Blunt is a great actor who is pretending to be friendly to him in interviews – which is possible, as she is an Oscar nominated actress – that makes Damon seem unlikely.
Jason Segel
Blunt co-starred with Segel, 44, in 2012’s “The Five Year Engagement,” where they played a couple whose relationship got strained as their engagement dragged on. At the time that the movie came out, Blunt gave an entire interview about it to British Vogue where she didn’t mention Segel, making him a contender.
However, in another interview with Cinemablend, she praised the “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” star, calling him “a romantic” and the working experience “collaborative.” She also said that certain scenes were “so much fun to shoot.”
Dwayne Johnson
Blunt worked with Johnson, 52, on 2021’s “Jungle Cruise.” However, during her Howard Stern appearance, Blunt said about Johnson, “I love him,” and said she’s going to work with him again, on a film called “The Smashing Machine.” So, that makes the former wrestler turned actor an unlikely contender.
Ryan Gosling
Blunt currently stars in “The Fall Guy” opposite Gosling, 43, now in theaters. The two previously demonstrated their onscreen chemistry at the 2024 Oscars, where they traded banter about the “Barbenheimer” phenomenon.
Blunt told EW about their onscreen romance, “We wanted to approach it in a really free-wheeling way that felt grounded.”
Blunt further told Stern on his show, “I love his wife, Eva [Mendes]. I love their children, and I feel like I’m very lucky to be friends with a gem of a person like him.”
Cillian Murphy
Blunt starred with this year’s “Best Actor” Oscar winner Murphy, 47, in “Oppenheimer,” where she played Oppenheimer’s long suffering (and cuckolded) wife. In previous interviews, Blunt has referred to Murphy as “my friend,” and she told Rolling Stone, “I mean, I could talk about Cillian all day long; I absolutely adore him.”
It’s unlikely that Murphy is one of her bad onscreen kisses if she “adores” him.
Tom Cruise
Blunt starred with Cruise 61, in the 2014 sci-fi movie “Edge of Tomorrow.”
Christopher McQuarrie, one of the movie’s screenwriters, told Film School Rejects that Blunt herself improvised her onscreen kiss with Cruise.
“As we were shooting that scene at the very end of the movie, we gave up on the kiss. We weren’t even trying to find a place for it anymore,” he said.
“And right as Emily was saying goodbye to Tom, she just kissed him goodbye in the moment. And it was not in the script. It was not even discussed on the day. Afterwards, she said, ‘It just felt right. It felt right and I did it.’”
John Krasinski
Blunt worked with Krasinski, 44, on “A Quiet Place.” But, considering the fact that she’s been married to him since 2010 and they have two kids, something would be very wrong if he was one of her bad kisses.
