10 Reasons Emily Blunt Honestly Couldn't Be Cooler

Feb 23 2015 - 7:05pm

Between her whip-smart wit and her ridiculously cute romance, there's a lot to love about Emily Blunt [1]. The British star hit the Hollywood scene just over 10 years ago, and in that time, she's racked up a résumé of unforgettable roles and the nominations to go with them. Meanwhile, she's also won over fans with her lovable personality off screen, cracking people up with her talk-show antics and her one-liners. To celebrate the actress turning 32 on Monday, check out reasons why Emily Blunt really couldn't be cooler, then swoon over some of her sweetest moments with John Krasinski [2]!

She Played the One of the Best Big-Screen B*tches

There's no denying that Emily's behind some of the best moments in The Devil Wears Prada [3]: "Oh, I'm sorry, do you have some prior commitment? Some hideous skirt convention you have to go to?" She was even nominated for both a Golden Globe and a BAFTA for her scene-stealing role.

She Immediately Took Hollywood by Storm

Emily nabbed a Golden Globe win in 2007 for her role in Gideon's Daughter, and since then, she's racked up a whole slew of nominations — including another Golden Globe nomination this year.

She and John Are in the Running For Cutest Celebrity Couple

So many adorable John and Emily moments [4], where do we even begin? How about that time he surprised her on stage [5] while she was accepting her Critics' Choice Award? The cute couple started dating in 2008 before tying the knot in 2010.

She's Quite the Matchmaker

Meanwhile, Emily's also got a knack for helping others find love. She introduced her sister, Felicity, to her The Devil Wears Prada costar Stanley Tucci, and the couple tied the knot [6] in 2012 before welcoming their first child together [7], a son, in January 2015.

She's an Adorable Mom

John and Emily welcomed their daughter [8], Hazel, in February 2014, and that May, she gushed about motherhood [9] — keeping it real with both the good and the not-so-good things about parenting.

She's Got British Charm in Spades

Emily has a hilarious sense of humor, which definitely tends to come out when she appears on talk shows. Along with this great moment on Ellen DeGeneres [10]'s show, there's also the time she and John pranked Jimmy Kimmel for Christmas [11] — which resulted in those glorious GIFs of John Krasinski dancing [12] in a Santa suit.

She Has Her Priorities Straight

Emily said it best when she told InStyle how she navigates fame [13], saying, "I see Hollywood as a bubble that you pop your head into every now and again. I never get fully immersed in it."

She Held Her Own Alongside Meryl Streep Not Once, but Twice

Meryl is arguably the queen of acting, and Emily Blunt [14] has managed to hold her own alongside Meryl on screen twice — first in The Devil Wears Prada, and then again with Into the Woods. She's learning from the best!

She's a Strong Woman Who Plays Strong Women

When she accepted the Critics' Choice Award [15] for best role in an action movie for Edge of Tomorrow, Emily said, "It's the greatest thing to not be a damsel in distress in an action movie." Well put!

She Can Basically Do It All

She acts, she sings, she rules the red carpet — talk about a triple threat.

Bottom Line: We Love You, Emily.

Who doesn't?
