During a Wednesday appearance on _The Ellen DeGeneres Show_, Krasinski revealed that his wife’s performance in Disney’s forthcoming _Mary Poppins_ sequel, [_Mary Poppins_ Returns](http://time.com/4473276/emily-blunt-mary-poppins-different-julie-andrews/), turned him into a total emotional wreck. “We just screened it for my family over the holidays,” Krasinski told DeGeneres. “I tried to prepare \[my daughters\] for how emotional it is. The first time I ever saw it, they gave you a tissue box in the screening room. I was like, ‘Oh that’s very nice. I don’t have a cold.’ And they started screening the movie and 25 minutes into it, I stood up and went to the back of the room. And Emily said, ‘Do you not like it? I’ve never seen this happen.'” The _Jack Ryan_ star went on to explain that he simply couldn’t hold it together and was searching for supplemental tear-wiping material. “I was pushing through all the bagels and muffins that were in the back looking for napkins. I was like, ‘I need anything to stop this crying!’ I was crying so much! I blew through the tissue box in 20 minutes. I had to go to the napkins, and then when I ran out of the napkins, it was all sweater,” he explained. “It’s honestly one of the most beautiful films. I think it’s exactly what everybody needs for the holidays. It’s pure joy.” _Mary Poppins Returns_ is set to hit theaters on December 19. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5466037/john-krasinski-emily-blunt-mary-poppins-returns/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5466037/john-krasinski-emily-blunt-mary-poppins-returns/"},"headline":"John Krasinski Says This Emily Blunt Movie Unexpectedly Turned Him Into a Blubbering Mess","datePublished":"2018-11-28T22:03:32.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:56:13.688Z","description":"\"I was crying so much!\"","url":"https://time.com/5466037/john-krasinski-emily-blunt-mary-poppins-returns/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","celebrities","TV","emily blunt","John Krasinski","The Ellen Degeneres Show"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4bb7988b9b0cd2e0/69894028e76ad223cf633a09/john-krasinski-emily-blunt-mary-poppins.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4bb7988b9b0cd2e0/69894028e76ad223cf633a09/john-krasinski-emily-blunt-mary-poppins.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"John-Krasinski-Emily-Blunt-Mary-Poppins","caption":"Emily Blunt and John Krasinski attend the 2018 Time 100 Gala at Frederick P.
