Hollywood Stars Shine at Women in Hollywood Celebration
Actress Emily Blunt has shared the secrets to working effectively with her husband, John Krasinski, for ELLE’s 2025 Women In Hollywood Celebration issue. This special edition, set to be released in December 2025 and January 2026, highlights successful female figures in the entertainment industry.
Emily Blunt’s Insights on Collaborating with John Krasinski
In a candid interview, Emily Blunt revealed that she initially doubted her husband’s abilities to shoot “A Quiet Place,” their 2018 film where they played an on-screen couple. She noted, “I don’t think he knew what he was capable of. So it’s sort of like watching someone discover a superpower.” This mutual respect and trust were key in making the movie a success.
Blunt further emphasized that without this partnership and admiration, their collaboration could have been disastrous. She continued, “I think if we had done that movie and we didn’t respect or admire each other, it would’ve been an absolute disaster.”
Jessie Buckley’s Perspective on Working with Female Directors
Actress Jessie Buckley, who starred in the Shakespearean film “Hamnet” alongside Paul Mescal, shared her experience working with female directors. She praised the material and the unique storytelling approaches of women directors. Buckley said, “The questions and the provocations and the characters—and the understanding of what it is to be a full life force, the complex spectrum of colors of a woman—is something that they have seeded in all of their movies.”
Buckley also highlighted how these directors challenge traditional narratives and provide nuanced portrayals of female characters. She concluded, “And I think the reason why I keep working with female directors is because they want the full story.”
