“He doesn’t trust me”: Emily Blunt Was treated With Doubt and Suspicion on Her First Visit To Christopher Nolan’s House
Having made her professional debut back in 2001, Emily Blunt has made quite a name for herself in the industry. Her big breakthrough came in 2006 thanks to her role in the British TV drama Gideon’s Daughter, and she even won her first Golden Globe for the role.
In the same year, Emily Blunt also starred in the fashion comedy-drama The Devil Wears Prada. The movie featured Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep in lead roles and became one of the highest-grossing movies of the year.
Most recently, Emily Blunt starred in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, which was released last year. While Blunt’s role went on to receive a lot of appreciation, she was initially treated with doubt and suspicion.
Emily Blunt recalls her first visit to Christopher Nolan’s house
During a recent appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Emily Blunt recalled how she visited Christopher Nolan’s house before starting to film for Oppenheimer. Blunt spoke about how Nolan asked her to take a look a look at the script which was printed on red paper so that it could not be photocopied.
While speaking about how she felt that she wasn’t being trusted, Blunt said:
“We just chatted about God knows what and he went, ‘Alright, so I’ve got this movie that we’re gonna make, Oppenheimer if you’ve heard. So if you’d like to have a look at the role Kitty Oppenheimer, I’d love you to do it’…and then you’re handed the script on red paper because apparently, you can’t photocopy red paper. He doesn’t trust me.”
It’s worth noting that Blunt was seemingly kidding about not being trusted with the script. The usage of red paper is a standard practice in the movie industry to avoid scripts being copied or leaked.
Emily Blunt claims she was not able to walk after watching Oppenheimer
During the same appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Blunt and Colbert were discussing the effect that the movie Oppenheimer had on them. Blunt recalled how she was filled with emotions after watching the movie and was not able to walk. She said:
“I felt like I couldn’t feel my legs after it. I just couldn’t even walk, it was so stunning, so emotional.”
Furthermore, Stephen Colbert revealed that he was left stunned after watching Oppenheimer and wasn’t able to speak for 5 minutes. The movie was received very well by both audience and critics and is widely considered to be one of the best of the past year.
