Sources claim Emily Blunt wants John Krasinski to stop being an ‘uptight workaholic’

According to reports by Life & Style, sources close to Emily Blunt and John Krasinski have shared that the actress feels that her husband has been working very hard for years and now needs to relax and stop being an uptight workaholic.

Known for his exceptional performances in The Office, followed by Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, 13 Hours, Away We Go, and more, John Krasinski has maintained the status of being one of the most talented actors in the industry.

Krasinski also co-wrote, co-starred in, and directed 2018’s A Quiet Place opposite Emily Blunt. The movie received a positive response from the audience and the critics, which eventually led to the sequel, A Quiet Place Part II, which came out in 2020. The film, just like the original, received a positive response, and critics went on to praise the story and the addition of Cillian Murphy’s character in the story.

A prequel, A Quiet Place: Day One, starring Lupita Nyong’o and Joseph Quinn, was released in 2024, where Krasinski served as the producer. The sources close to the couple shared with the publication,

John learned the wrong lessons from the movies that changed his life. He was able to keep the budgets on those movies low by personally pitching in everywhere—as an actor, writer, and producer—and, of course, controlling every single decision that got made on those movies, even if doing so meant a lot of sleepless nights.

They added that at the end of the day, the movies worked, and he received critical and commercial success, which is why he is not ready to back down from that approach.

On the other hand, his wife is a laid-back person who never stresses out, and thus their approach towards work has reportedly caused a rift between the two. The source claims,

Emily puts you at ease the second she walks into a room, whereas John is not that way, and frankly, it’s getting worse. He’s hard on himself, to be sure, as he’s also an exacting perfectionist about everything, and he’s working himself to the brink of collapse on these films.

But they also noted that Krasinski is going to focus on acting in 2025 rather than directing, but he still has plans to work on one more A Quiet Place movie with Blunt. Their relationship is rock solid, but sources claim that it’s not a fun energy to be around someone who is such a workaholic.

Emily Blunt’s reaction to John Krasinski being named Sexiest Man Alive 2024

People named John Krasinski as Sexiest Man Alive in 2024, followed by Patrick Dempsey, who won in 2023. In speaking to the publication, the actor revealed that his wife was very excited when she heard the news.

There was a lot of joy involved in me telling her.

He also added that the new title is not going to change much but only make him do household chores more. Emily Blunt and John Krasinski are incredibly funny and relatable for their fans, and the amount of respect, support, and love they have for each other is commendable.
