A Quiet Place trailer_  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Apr 4, 2018 3:26 PM UTC A Quiet Place trailer  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Apr 4, 2018 3:26 PM UTC Actor and director John Krasinski is riding a high from the [positive reviews](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/a%5Fquiet%5Fplace%5F2018/) of his new horror film _A Quiet Place_. But leave it to a London customs agent to keep his ego in check. During a visit to [Jimmy Fallon](http://time.com/5177293/jimmy-fallon-parkland-pledge-march-for-our-lives/)‘s _Tonight Show_, Fallon casually asked Krasinski about his wife, fellow actress [Emily Blunt](http://time.com/5084758/krasinski-emily-blunt-acting/). Based on the audience’s warm applause, Krasinski admitted he knew he had “married up.” “They don’t have to tell me, the customs agent in London did,” he joked. He had been visiting Blunt regularly in London while she was shooting the remake of [_Mary Poppins_](http://time.com/4473276/emily-blunt-mary-poppins-different-julie-andrews/), in which she plays the titular character. But at one point he ran into a bit of a snag in the customs line. “I hit this guy, he’s about my age, he looked like he was about to get a little surly with me,” Krasinski recalled for Fallon. The agent definitely did not recognize Krasinski, and the first strike was that Krasinski had to explain that he was an actor in a remake of the British [_Office_](http://time.com/5212729/the-office-michael-scott-kanye-west-albums/) TV show. But when he shared who he was visiting, the agent definitely had some knowledge of the star’s wife. “Her name’s Emily Blunt,” Krasinski explained. “And he goes, _you_? _You_? _You_ married Emily Blunt? Ok, go. _Go_. The stamp was so hard.” Watch Krasinski retell the story of his brush with British customs above. ## Transcript [00:00] [ SOUND ] [00:03] [ SOUND ] [00:06] [ MUSIC ] [00:09] [ MUSIC ] [00:12] [ NOISE ] [00:15] [ MUSIC ] [00:18] [ BLANK_AUDIO ] [00:22] [ MUSIC ] [00:25] [ BLANK_AUDIO ] [00:28] [ SOUND ] [00:31] [ BLANK_AUDIO ] [00:34] [ NOISE ] [00:37] [ SOUND ] [00:40] [ BLANK_AUDIO ] [00:44] [ MUSIC ] [00:47] [ NOISE ] [00:50] [ BLANK_AUDIO ] [ MUSIC ] [02:08] [ BLANK_AUDIO ] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5227689/john-krasinski-emily-blunt-customs-agent/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5227689/john-krasinski-emily-blunt-customs-agent/"},"headline":"John Krasinski Made a Customs Agent Very Angry When He Said He Was Married to Emily Blunt","datePublished":"2018-04-04T15:26:18.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-12T09:05:06.815Z","description":"The British customs agent couldn't believe it","url":"https://time.com/5227689/john-krasinski-emily-blunt-customs-agent/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","Late Night Television","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt641d0cf8f054c512/69892ccc656a3fb7b5bd4100/screen-shot-2018-04-04-at-11-05-24-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt641d0cf8f054c512/69892ccc656a3fb7b5bd4100/screen-shot-2018-04-04-at-11-05-24-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"john-krasinski-jimmy-fallon","caption":"john krasinski talking about emily blunt jimmy fallon","creditText":"YouTube","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5227689/john-krasinski-emily-blunt-customs-agent/","name":"John Krasinski Made a Customs Agent Very Angry When He Said He Was Married to Emily Blunt"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"A Quiet Place Trailer","description":"A Quiet Place trailer","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/YdYjZm90/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2018-01-03T13:52:12.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/YdYjZm90.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5227689/john-krasinski-emily-blunt-customs-agent/","duration":"PT2M14S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5227689/john-krasinski-emily-blunt-customs-agent/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
