In the glitzy world of Hollywood, family ties can sometimes be as tangled as the plot of a rom-com. But for Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci, their connection is as real as it gets—because they’re not just co-stars in the much-anticipated Devil Wears Prada 2; they’re also family! Yes, you heard that right. The two became in-laws when Tucci married Blunt’s sister, Felicity Blunt, back in 2012. Talk about keeping it in the family!
On a recent appearance on Good Morning America, the duo couldn’t help but share a laugh about their unique relationship. “We are over-related now, we spend way too much time together, and now we’re doing a press tour together,” Blunt quipped. Tucci chimed in with his own comedic twist, calling her “my parasitic twin.” Who knew family could be so entertaining?
As they gear up for the release of their film, which hits theaters this Friday, May 1, the pair reminisced about their time filming in the picturesque landscapes of Italy. “We had all of the kids there, it was fabulous, just around Milan and Como, it was magical,” Blunt shared, painting a picture of family fun amidst the stunning scenery. And let’s not forget Tucci’s culinary skills! The man is a renowned foodie, having published several cookbooks, and he took it upon himself to whip up meals for Blunt during production. Now that’s what we call a family affair!
When asked if she ever returned the favor, Blunt humorously confessed, “I try not to.” She admitted that cooking for her brother-in-law was a nerve-wracking experience, especially since she was afraid of not meeting his high Italian cuisine standards. But she eventually mustered the courage to make him a risotto, saying, “It’s very nerve-wracking when he takes the first bite, and then you know when he likes it when he puts the fork down and goes… ‘Emily Blunt.'” Talk about pressure!
As the promotional whirlwind continues, the two stars are also set to receive stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and they’re doing it together. “They’re just saving money,” Tucci joked about the double honor. But in all seriousness, he added, “It’s a great honor, first of all, but more of an honor to do it with Em.” Aww, can we get a collective ‘aw’ for this adorable duo?
So, whether you’re a fan of their films or just love a good family story, keep an eye out for Devil Wears Prada 2. With this kind of chemistry and familial bond, it’s bound to be a hit!
