Emily Blunt (born February 23, 1983) is a British actress best known for her work in the films My Summer of Love (2004) and The Devil Wears Prada(2006).
Career
Blunt made her stage debut in a 2001 production of The Royal Family directed by Peter Hall, which won her the Evening Standard Theatre Award for best newcomer. In 2003, Blunt made her professional screen debut in the British television drama Boudica, about the life of the ancient British warrior-queen who fought the Romans.
Blunt's breakout however, was as Tamsin in the dark independent British movie, My Summer of Love in 2004 - a story of deception and homoeroticism in the English countryside. For her role, she shared an Evening Standard British Film Award for Most Promising Newcomer with costar Nathalie Press.
Most recently she starred opposite Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway in the 2006 comedy The Devil Wears Prada. Streep and Hathaway received most of the critical attention initially, but Blunt, who went so far as to loose weight for the role, proved to be equally memorable. Consequentially, Entertainment Weekly named her the Best Female Scene-Stealer in their summer-end special.
Blunt has roles in a number of upcoming movies, and is currently filming an adaptation of The Jane Austen Book Club. She will next work on Sunshine Cleaning opposite Amy Adams, and an adaptation of the novella Cheerful Weather For The Wedding.
Background
Blunt is from in London, England. She is one of four children born to a barrister father and teacher mother. Her uncle is Crispin Blunt, Conservative Member of Parliament for Reigate. Blunt lives in London and Vancouver. In the latter she shares a home with her boyfriend, singer Michael Bublé, who she first met backstage after one of his U.S. concerts two years ago.
