Emily Blunt ‘absolutely’ wanted to throw up after kissing co-star during filming

Smooching a Hollywood A-lister might sound like the dream, but Emily Blunt says it's not always a great time

Being an actor might seem like the dream job, but it definitely comes with some downsides.

Whether it's being recognised everywhere you go, feuds with co-stars or hating the storylines which have been written for you, it isn't always all sunshine and roses.

Anne Hathaway once revealed she had to kiss ten men in an audition, and called the experience 'gross.'

Emily Blunt is one of the biggest names in Hollywood and has been busy filming the sequel to The Devil Wears Prada, reprising her role as Emily.

The star previously confessed she had 'absolutely' wanted to throw up after she locked lips with a co-star for a scene.

Maybe he'd had onion for lunch like Scarlett Johansson once did before kissing Matt Damon, or maybe Emily just wasn't feeling it.

Many fans would trade anything for the chance to share a smooch with their on-screen heroes, but it's definitely not as romantic as it seems, according to Blunt.

The Mary Poppins star opened up about the experience while guesting on The Howard Stern Show.

Unfortunately for us, Emily didn't go as far to name the specific actor who made her feel sick with his kisses.

Howard Stern is known for his straight-to-the-point line of questioning, and he asked Emily if she had ever wanted to 'throw up' after a kissing scene.

She said: "Absolutely, absolutely!"

"I wouldn’t say it’s sort of extreme loathing, but I’ve definitely not enjoyed some of it," she revealed.

However, she did go on to say it's not always important to like whoever she's starring alongside.

She shared that she had 'chemistry with people I haven’t liked at all', and that interaction and attraction was 'sometimes a strange thing.'

“Sometimes you can really, really like someone, and you can be pals, and you can have a rapport that’s really effortless, but it doesn’t translate onscreen," she explained.

She revealed her tactic for getting by on set: “I think my feeling is I’ve got to find something I love about everybody. I have to find something – even if it’s one thing. It might be like they have a nice laugh or I like how they speak to people, they’re polite. I mean, it might be something random.

"But find something you love about that person or something you love about them as the character and then kind of lean into that," she advised.

As for this mysterious chemistry or spark, the star said it is an 'ethereal thing that you can’t really bottle up and buy or sell.'

She joked though: “I’ve been doing this long enough. I could have chemistry with this water bottle at this point. You know how to conjure it. But it’s just easier when you have a natural rapport with someone.”

Emily was promoting her film The Fall Guy at the time, and reassured fans that she got on well with her co-star Ryan Gosling: “I feel like I’m very lucky to be friends with a gem of a person like him.”

In real life, Emily is married to fellow actor John Krasinski, and they share two daughters together.

The couple starred together in A Quiet Place as husband and wife, so it's safe to assume it's not her husband who gave her the ick on set.
