Emily Blunt: A Garden Gnome Doing Shakespeare

Emily Blunt rocks a Madewell plaid button down as she leaves a friend’s house and hops back in her car on Tuesday (January 25) in West Hollywood, Calif.

Over the weekend, the 27-year-old actress premiered her new animated film Gnomeo and Juliet at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood.

“I thought, ‘This story’s definitely not been done before, garden gnomes doing Shakespeare,’” she said on the carpet.

Elton John and partner David Furnish were executive producers on the film, which also stars James McAvoy.

“It’s quite intimidating,” James said about having Elton as a boss. “I’m trying not to look at him right now because I’d probably melt.”
