Emily Blunt announces she's taking a break from acting

While the majority of us cannot comprehend, the life of a film star in Hollywood is surely rather difficult.

While they do say you should never mix work with pleasure, Blunt and Krasinski collaborate professionally with their A Quiet Place films, which is set to continue as a third movie is in the works.

While the A Quiet Place actor did not specify when the break started, she did confirm on the Table for Two podcast that she is stepping away from the screen to spend more time with her kids.

She said: "This year, I'm not working. I worked quite a bit last year and my oldest baby is nine, so we're in the last year of single digits.

"And I just feel there are cornerstones to their day that are so important when they're little.

"And it's, 'Will you wake me up? Will you take me to school? Will you pick me up? Will you put me to bed?' And I just need to be there for all of them for a good stretch. And I just felt that in my bones."

Blunt then spoke on how taking on big projects impacts her relationship with her kids and the 'guilt' she subsequently feels.

"I had a beautiful time on the projects I did last year," she said.

"Some were more tense than others, some were harder than others. Some were more time consuming than others.

"The ones that are time consuming, I think for me are becoming few and further between because of just the emotional cost on me, on the kids, on balance.

"And I'm very prone to guilt, I think all mothers are. You're just prone to feeling bad for, god forbid, wanting something outside of being a mother."

While she may be officially on a break, fans will get to see Blunt in action in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film, Oppenheimer, which premiers the same day as Barbie later this month on July 20.
