John Krasinski Opens Up About Working With Wife Emily Blunt on 'A Quiet Place'

John Krasinski is dishing on what it was really like working with his wife Emily Blunt on A Quiet Place!

The 38-year-old The Office actor has been hot on the promo trail for his supernatural thriller film, which he both directed and stars in alongside his wife of more than seven years.

“We keep our careers very, very separate,” John recently told Modern Luxury. “We always rely on each other for opinions, but we love the idea that we have separate careers, and, that way, we can be the No. 1 fans of each other.”

While Emily was reading the script, John revealed, “I looked up — and, at first, I thought something was wrong because she seemed very serious. She said, ‘You can’t let anybody else do this movie.’”

“I can’t overdescribe how much that meant to me,” he shared. “There’s nobody I looked up to and admire more, so the fact that someone I trust not only in marriage, but as an actress, with that taste level and that strength, would want to dive into this script was huge for me.”

Two days before filming, John recalled, “We were just finishing dinner, and she said, ‘Can I ask you a question? Are you nervous?’ And I said, ‘Terrified.’ It was bizarre how well it worked.”
