Both have enjoyed successful, [genre-spanning careers](http://time.com/4459435/john-krasinski-the-hollars-emily-blunt/) playing characters in everything from comedies to musicals to action to [mysteries](http://time.com/4411019/the-girl-on-the-train-second-trailer-emily-blunt/). And they adore each other too. And in a cover story [for _Vanity Fair,_](https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2018/01/emily-blunt-cover-story) Blunt also shared some insight into working with her husband Krasinski on their new film, _A Quiet Place,_ which he’s directing. Blunt stars in the upcoming thriller alongside her husband. But it was Krasinski who was full of praise for his wife. “The air changes in the room when she starts doing what she does,” he told the magazine. “It’s so honest and so pure and so powerful. It’s like a superpower that she can just unlock and do so specifically with not many attempts. For me, I love acting, and I’m so lucky to be doing it. But she’s on another plane. This weird intersection happened while filming where I totally forgot I was her husband. I was just watching her performance and was lucky enough to be in the front row.” _A Quiet Place_ is set for release later this year. After that, Blunt will appear as Mary Poppins in the [newest adaptation](http://time.com/4473276/emily-blunt-mary-poppins-different-julie-andrews/) of the classic children’s movie, playing the titular role with support from Lin-Manuel Miranda, Colin Firth and Meryl Streep, out in theaters next Christmas. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5084758/krasinski-emily-blunt-acting/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5084758/krasinski-emily-blunt-acting/"},"headline":"This Story Explains Why John Krasinski Is Emily Blunt's Biggest Fanboy","datePublished":"2018-01-02T21:35:04.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:47:23.733Z","description":"\"She’s on another plane\"","url":"https://time.com/5084758/krasinski-emily-blunt-acting/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","emily blunt","John Krasinski"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfe911107e6bb429b/6988f6d486f68e3c876e7bf6/john-krasinski-emily-blunt.jpg?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/bltfe911107e6bb429b/6988f6d486f68e3c876e7bf6/john-krasinski-emily-blunt.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"23rd Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - Arrivals","caption":"23rd Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - Arrivals","creditText":"Dan MacMedan—WireImage","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":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5084758/krasinski-emily-blunt-acting/","name":"This Story Explains Why John Krasinski Is Emily Blunt's Biggest Fanboy"}}]},{"@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/5084758/krasinski-emily-blunt-acting/","duration":"PT2M14S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5084758/krasinski-emily-blunt-acting/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
