00:00Hi, I'm Emily Blunt, and this is my husband, John Krasinski.
00:02Well, it's cool if you only know us by our celebrity couple name, Krunt.
00:06No.
00:06Welcome to MsMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the Times' power couple,
00:12Emily Blunt and John Krasinski, reminded us that true love is still out there.
00:18We put ornaments in your living room.
00:20It's a bit retaliated.
00:22Number 30, John Krasinski shares his thoughts on a blunt gosling selfie.
00:28During an interview for Krasinski's family-friendly fantasy movie If,
00:32Capital FM's Sean Welby surprised the actor with a photo she'd taken with his wife,
00:37Emily Blunt, just a week before.
00:40She follows up with a really sweet anecdote.
00:43But of course, Krasinski can't help injecting a little humor into the moment, too.
00:48Whenever I feel down, she goes, come sit on my knee.
00:53And then I Photoshop Ryan Gosling in my pictures, too.
00:56So it's kind of the same photo we have at home.
00:58This leads into a chat about The Fall Guy, which Blunt was promoting at the time,
01:03and how the couple handles their separate careers.
01:06Emily and I keep everything pretty separate, so I don't read her scripts,
01:08and I don't go to her first screenings or whatever, because it's really nice to
01:12go off and do these things completely on your own and then show them to each other.
01:15But we're all completely supportive.
01:17Krasinski then takes the chance to gush about Blunt's work ethic,
01:21which, as we'll soon see, is a regular thing for these two.
01:25Honestly, it's adorable how they're always each other's biggest fan.
01:30I brought her in on the first couple screenings,
01:32and always want her ideas in her notes.
01:34And she's brilliant in every single way.
01:36So wherever the movie gets to now, she definitely has her fingerprints all over it.
01:39Number 29, bowing out at the Golden Globes.
01:43We'll get into this more later,
01:45but Krasinski and Blunt pretty much always dominate the red carpet.
01:49She's amazing.
01:50Congratulations.
01:52You're incredible.
01:53So incredible.
01:55Congratulations on all of the nominations.
01:57One particularly special moment we have to mention is from the 2024 Golden Globe Awards.
02:03Blunt was nominated for Best Performance by a Female Actor for her role in Oppenheimer.
02:08Here are the nominees for Female Supporting Actor.
02:12Motion picture.
02:15Emily Blunt, Oppenheimer.
02:19She looked stunning in her Alexander McQueen gown.
02:23And Krasinski looked very dapper in his sharp reddish jacket.
02:27Together, they look like they've stepped straight off a movie poster.
02:31Groupings of tiny energy waves bound together.
02:34By what?
02:35Forces of attraction strong enough to convince us that matter is solid.
02:41However, the sweetest part is the moment Krasinski literally bows to Blunt
02:46as he gracefully steps aside, leaving her to own the spotlight.
02:52Number 28.
02:53Going viral with Robert Downey Jr.
02:56Before the SAG-AFTRA strike brought Hollywood to a grinding halt,
03:00Blunt joined her Oppenheimer castmates on a press tour ahead of their Paris premiere.
03:04Her co-star Robert Downey Jr. posted a video
03:07filled with snapshots from their various appearances.
03:11And in one funny moment, John Krasinski makes a surprise cameo.
03:15As Blunt chats with Downey Jr., Krasinski casually pops his head into the frame.
03:21Without missing a beat, Blunt calmly pushes him out of the shot
03:25and continues talking like it's no big deal.
03:28Yep, Emily straight up puts John in a quiet place for interrupting her chat.
03:33Fans found the whole thing hilarious, and it ended up going viral.
03:37After all, what's more couple goals than becoming a meanie?
03:42Number 27.
03:43Their go-to movie choice.
03:45Early in a relationship, you're probably still trying to make a good impression.
03:49Congratulations on the movie.
03:50Thank you so much.
03:51Um, quick, right off the bat, what is your favorite scary movie?
03:54Jaws.
03:55What is Emily's favorite scary movie?
03:57Jaws.
03:57Perhaps you try to impress your new beau with a piece of highbrow
04:01scotch-brown hair and a pair of high-waisted jeans.
04:04And, of course, it's not always a success.
04:07Perhaps you try to impress your new beau with a piece of highbrow cinema,
04:11or maybe a film that isn't quite your thing, but you think will be right up their alley.
04:16Or maybe, like this couple, you opt for a movie that will terrify both of you.
04:22We watched Jaws together, and we had seen it before, but not as adults.
04:25And so we watched it, we loved it, and then for the next three weeks,
04:28we watched it, I think, nine or ten times.
04:30In an interview for A Quiet Place, Krasinski revealed that in the early days of their
04:35relationship, their go-to movie night pick was Jaws.
04:39Why?
04:39Even Krasinski isn't sure.
04:42Maybe there's something about bonding over shared frights?
04:46Whatever it is, it clearly worked.
04:48It was like an original dating thing for us.
04:50And, again, I don't know what that says about us as a couple.
04:53But I won't look into it.
04:54Number 26, Emily Blunt questions their relationship goals status.
04:59Most of us can agree that Emily Blunt and John Krasinski, or the Krunts,
05:04are total couple goals.
05:06But, funny enough, Blunt herself isn't so sure about that title.
05:10Before this comes up, though, she's all smiles,
05:13praising her husband's many talents on the A Quiet Place set.
05:17He's such a sort of exciting person to be around,
05:21and he just had such conviction about this film and how he wanted to shoot it.
05:24Then, when interviewer Lydia Bartham brings up their couple goal status,
05:29Blunt visibly cringes and gets adorably flustered.
05:33It's hilarious in that totally relatable, awkward way
05:36some of us feel when we get complimented.
05:39You are, for so many people, relationship goals.
05:42I don't know if you've ever seen it on the internet.
05:43I've heard about this. I was like, what is that?
05:46Bartham also asked Blunt if she had any questions for Krasinski,
05:50which she played during her interview with him later.
05:53His reaction is just as hilarious as the question.
05:57She's also bringing her personal life to the public, which is, of course,
06:01what I want is for everybody to know that I scare easily in the shower.
06:04Number 25. Co-starring in A Quiet Place.
06:07In 2018, Blunt and Krasinski starred together in A Quiet Place,
06:12a film Krasinski not only directed, but apparently also had a hand in scripting.
06:16Despite the film's bleak, alien-infested setting where silence is a matter of life and death,
06:22the couple's real-life chemistry shines through their roles.
06:30Hear what I have to say.
06:34Their performances, delivered with minimal dialogue,
06:37were so compelling that the film became a box office hit and earned rave reviews.
06:43Blunt even received a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance in a Supporting Role.
06:48If we can't protect them, who are we?
06:57You have to protect them.
06:59The sequel was another triumph for the duo. This might have been their
07:03first time in the spotlight together, but thankfully, it wasn't the last.
07:21Number 24. The Krunts vs. An Aussie Spider.
07:25If you've ever been to Australia or know someone who's visited,
07:29you've probably heard chilling tales of some of their scarier wildlife infiltrating
07:35human-inhabited territory.
07:42As they say, celebs, they're just like us.
07:45So while filming The Fall Guy in Australia, the couple had a run-in with a huntsman spider.
07:51Blunt, who was not about to get anywhere near the creature, hilariously described the ordeal.
08:07She says that Krasinski isn't a fan of spiders at the best of times,
08:10so agreeing to get rid of one that she describes as
08:14like a bird in full wingspan is really quite valiant.
08:19If that's not true, love, we don't know what is.
08:31Number 23. Their First Date.
08:34Though they're one of Hollywood's power couples,
08:36Blunt and Krasinski like to keep their private life, well, private.
08:49However, in a profile for The Hollywood Reporter,
08:52they shared a peek into their early dating days.
08:55The one detail they can't agree on is who made the first move. Blunt thinks it was her.
09:01But Krasinski shoots that down with a, yeah, right.
09:07He insists he asked several times before she finally said yes.
09:12At least they agree that they ate pizza that night.
09:15Still, Blunt said this was a memory that she wanted to keep to themselves
09:19because it's so precious. Can we get an awww?
09:31Number 22. A Quiet Place Behind the Scenes.
09:35We've talked a lot about how the Krunts are each other's biggest cheerleaders,
09:39and this won't be the last time we mention it either.
09:42Every time they talk about each other, it's enough to warm even the coldest of hearts.
09:56We love hearing their behind-the-scenes stories,
09:59especially how they heap praise on each other while staying incredibly relatable.
10:04You really get a sense of how much their experience strengthened their bond as a couple.
10:13Blunt even shared this with Today during an interview.
10:20Despite tabloids suggesting that working together might end their marriage,
10:24she says it only made them closer. Plus, their time on the set together sounds like a blast.
10:43Number 21. Making the Movie. The Making of Movie. The Movie.
10:49The Krunts joined a star-studded cast in Jimmy Kimmel's Movie. The Movie,
10:54which packs countless tropes into a hilarious nearly 10-minute-long trailer.
10:59In this spoof, the couple plays a pair from a fairytale romance,
11:03and their commitment to the bits is pure comedy gold.
11:12But the behind-the-scenes footage is even better. Blunt talks about their costumes
11:24when Krasinski jumps in saying it's time she fesses up about her accent.
11:28Well, the costumes were quite hard to work in. You know, there were so many,
11:32so you think, crikey, like, which one do we...
11:34Crikey, what fun is this? I can't...
11:37Why are you mocking my accent?
11:39Because it's fake.
11:40He even delivers a hilariously questionable impression of how she sounds.
11:45It takes a seriously strong couple to convincingly play a pair at odds.
11:50You're a real a***** sometimes.
11:52A real a***** mother.
11:54If Jimmy ever makes Movie, the Movie, the Sequel,
11:56the John Krasinski and Emily Blunt story, you bet we'd be the first in line to watch.
12:0320. The Surprise Hamilton Performance
12:07When the world shut down in 2020, John Krasinski turned to YouTube to spread some much-needed joy.
12:13In the second episode of his Some Good News web series, he spoke to a young girl named Aubrey,
12:19whose birthday trip to Hamilton got cancelled.
12:22I heard you're a big Hamilton fan?
12:25Scale of 1 to 10, what do we think? Are we a 7 or 8 or...
12:30Million.
12:30A million! Wow! That's amazing. And you didn't get to see it?
12:35Instead, she stayed home and watched Mary Poppins Returns.
12:39And would you believe it? Krasinski just happens to know its stars.
12:43Do you have a favorite bit?
12:45I like the Tower of London part where the Learies climb the Tower of London.
12:49Aubrey's adorably excited to meet Mary Poppins, i.e. Emily Blunt,
12:54but her next surprise blew us all away.
12:57The cast of Hamilton reunited to perform especially for her.
13:03The COVID-19 pandemic is arguably one of the darkest periods of the 21st century so far.
13:10However, this power couple continued to spread light, and we love them for that.
13:16Number 19, Anna Kendricks' Steal My Girl on Netflix.
13:20I'm sure you've all heard of Anna Kendricks,
13:23but this is the first time she's been featured on Netflix.
13:26And we love them for that.
13:28Number 19, Anna Kendricks' Steal My Girl on Lip Sync Battle.
13:33We know that John Krasinski and Emily Blunt are hashtag relationship goals,
13:38but it turns out Anna Kendrick also knows it.
13:41During a round on Lip Sync Battle, their pitch-perfect star sang One Direction's
13:46Steal My Girl. The girl in question was none other than Emily Blunt.
14:00She came prepared with photos she serenaded,
14:04before revealing a couple's t-shirt under her jacket.
14:08The bit keeps going after the song has finished as well.
14:11John's reaction to this information is priceless.
14:15You know you've got someone special when Anna Kendrick wants to take her heart away.
14:29Number 18, Meeting Barack Obama.
14:32Did you know that being famous doesn't make you immune to getting starstruck?
14:37Just ask the Krunts.
14:39While attending the Kennedy Center Honors, this couple got the chance to meet
14:43a particularly special person, the 44th President of the United States.
14:57And it went as adorkably well as you might hope.
15:00Turns out that meeting this power couple brought out a side of Blunt,
15:04a born-and-raised Brit, and Krasinski that they never even knew they had.
15:14We would've loved to witness this interaction, as it sounds hilariously precious.
15:24Hey, a couple who gushes over Commander-in-Chief together stays together.
15:35We wonder how President Obama felt meeting them.
15:39Number 17, Regular Play Attendance.
15:42If your significant other was in a play, how many times would you go and see it?
15:46Once? Twice? Every night?
15:56While speaking to Jimmy Kimmel on the show, Emily Blunt lovingly gushed over her husband's
16:02performance in Dry Powder, making us wish we'd nabbed tickets for this play's limited run.
16:08She also recalled how she became somewhat distracted during her visit on opening night
16:14by a minor wardrobe malfunction.
16:28It's so sweet how all she could focus on was helping her husband,
16:32as is her gratitude towards his co-star Hank Azaria for helping out.
16:38As she happily talks Krasinski up, you can almost forget she's actually there to promote
16:53her own projects.
16:55Number 16, Fishing for Answers.
16:57You know how they say the foundation of a good relationship is friendship?
17:01Well, this Q&A proves that Blunt and Krasinski are actually BFFs.
17:06In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the couple fishes questions out of a bowl.
17:17We'd like to single out some highlights, like Krasinski's Mary Poppins impression,
17:21or Blunt hoping she was his first celeb crush.
17:25But we'd be here all day.
17:27Instead, we want to focus on how painfully cute they are together.
17:37Oh, yes.
17:38Emily would have been watching The Mask.
17:40Or Jurassic Park.
17:47Whether it's lovingly poking fun out of each other or dissolving into giggles,
17:52their dynamic just makes our hearts melt.
17:55Who wouldn't want someone to look at them the way that these two look at each other?
18:00How are you similar to Jack Ryan?
18:03Oh, um, I don't know.
18:05He's a hero, guys.
18:06Done.
18:07Number 15, Their Red Carpet Love
18:10Red carpets are typically populated by fabulously dressed celebs posing for
18:16photos and participating in interviews.
18:18However, Blunt and Krasinski's carpet game is downright dreamy.
18:29You can often see them whispering to one another,
18:31giggling and just enjoying each other's company.
18:35They leave us feeling like we're crashing their date night.
18:38I think it's the same as everybody else's date night.
18:41Other than the water slide of chocolate fudge, which we do every night.
18:44When they stop for interviews, they're so charming,
18:47laid back and friendly that we could listen to them chat for hours.
18:52The way they support and hype each other up is adorable.
18:56It's always a delight to hear them share stories about marital life.
19:01But when they're together, they radiate love and joy.
19:05What more could you possibly want?
19:14Number 14, Tear-Inducing Performances
19:17Anyone following John Krasinski will know he was a huge Emily Blunt fan
19:23long before they met.
19:25Still, hearing him rave over her career is just the most endearing
19:29and lovable thing ever.
19:39Blunt shared a story about how he cried when he first saw her in Into the Woods.
19:45Meanwhile, Krasinski also revealed that he teared up while watching Mary Poppins Returns.
19:51Doesn't that just make your heart want to burst?
20:00In both instances, Blunt explained that he welled up because he was so moved by the stories.
20:06However, we reckon that she's just being modest.
20:10We bet his pride for his incredibly talented wife had something to do with it.
20:21Number 13, The Krunts Want to Double Date
20:28We love when celebs get behind a great cause,
20:31and offering a double date to the premiere of A Quiet Place is certainly a unique way to fundraise.
20:45We have no doubt that their hilariously compelling invitation
20:49raised plenty of dough for the Malala Fund.
20:52Only The Krunts could film an awkward, desperate,
20:55and slightly ominous double date video and still hold our intrigue.
21:08We're going to guess that it went well since they decided to reprise the offer for the film's sequel
21:13and raise cash for another worthy cause.
21:16Somehow, this video request is just as funny as the first one.
21:34Number 12, An Emotional Proposal
21:39This couple's love is the gift that keeps on giving,
21:42so of course many fans are curious about their 2009 engagement.
21:48And the snippets they've shared are enough to bring tears to our eyes.
22:07Blunt told MTV that there were flutes, butterflies,
22:11and angels showering them with rainbow drops.
22:14Krasinski's account involved some different mythical creatures.
22:23Okay, so most of that is definitely fabricated, but there's no doubt that the moment was enchanting
22:30and heartfelt and involved a lot of crying.
22:33As Krasinski mentioned, the important part is that she said yes,
22:37and they've been living their happily ever after ever since.
22:47Number 11, ALS Ice Bucket Challenge
22:50Another time this couple plunged into a charitable cause was the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.
22:56Krasinski's up first, but attempts to scale the challenge down noticeably.
23:07While he sits there and beams with pride at his efforts,
23:11Blunt walks by and completely soaks him. It is iconic.
23:22He then nominates her to take up the challenge,
23:24but doesn't exactly let her choose where or when.
23:29It's a fun and amusing way to create a splash over an important cause,
23:38and just another example of their generosity and lively spirit.
23:43Too bad about those groceries, though.
23:46Number 10, Scuba Diving on Their Honeymoon
23:54Imagine feeling so safe with your significant other that you let them
23:58talk you into facing your fears. On your honeymoon, no less.
24:02The newlyweds went scuba diving in shark-filled waters,
24:06despite Blunt's aversion to the sharp-toothed creatures.
24:20Just as she was seemingly getting into it, a shark got close, causing her to faint.
24:28The way Jon recounts the event is darkly hilarious,
24:38and provides some insight into their relationship.
24:41Anyway, for most of us, that experience would be enough to keep us shorebound for life.
24:46However, this brave trooper stayed the course.
24:49Thankfully, she was subsequently approached by a kind sea turtle, who brightened her day.
24:58Number 9, Casting a Quiet Place
25:09When Krasinski co-wrote the script for this post-apocalyptic horror flick,
25:13he knew he wanted Blunt involved.
25:22However, he didn't want the fact that their husband and wife to overshadow
25:26or influence the experience. So, as Krasinski would share details about the movie,
25:32Blunt would recommend actresses who might be best suited for the role.
25:35But she was so taken by the script that she told Krasinski,
25:39who was on the verge of hiring a pal of hers, that she wanted to play Evelyn Abbott instead.
25:45We hope that friendship recovered.
25:56But you've got to admit that this collaboration was a smash hit.
26:07Number 8, Going Above and Beyond to Spend Weekends with the Family
26:12What do you do if you're two married Hollywood stars whose work puts you on
26:16opposite sides of the Atlantic? Well, if you're John Krasinski, you make multiple trips.
26:29As he divulged, spending time with his nearest and dearest is non-negotiable.
26:34When his work on Jack Ryan had him in Montreal, he headed to England,
26:39where Blunt and his kids were while she shot Mary Poppins Returns on weekends.
26:56Krasinski insists that he's so lucky to be in the biz that he can't complain.
27:01He just wishes he could have more time with his kids.
27:04At least his gruelling travel schedule gave us this hilarious anecdote
27:08about a dubious customs agent.
27:21And he probably collected his fair share of air miles as well.
27:26Number 7, The Battle of the Accents
27:29Krasinski's Boston accent occasionally slips out, while Blunt's undeniably British.
27:35No amount of years in the U.S. will change that.
27:38Funnily enough, she wishes her husband would look less
27:41like an American tourist when visiting her home country.
27:44And it seems that their oldest daughter, Hazel's accent,
28:01is another source of friendly friction for this adorable bi-national couple.
28:06While she sounded like a Brit for some time thanks to a prolonged stint in the U.K.,
28:11Blunt has revealed that it didn't exactly last.
28:20Hearing her imitate the different pronunciations is comedy gold.
28:24We can only imagine what a conversation sounds like in their house.
28:36Number 6, A New Cook
28:38John Krasinski admits that it took him a few decades to learn his way around a kitchen,
28:43but he's since put those newfound skills to good use.
28:47In a sweet gesture, Krasinski surprised Blunt with a home-cooked meal as a Mother's Day treat.
29:00She was admittedly apprehensive about his bold decision to tackle the classic British roast
29:06dinner, but we guess he nailed it since she put his cooking skills on the table
29:11during a wager over Leonardo DiCaprio's age.
29:24Of course, Blunt was right,
29:25although it sounds like Krasinski doesn't always uphold his end of the deal.
29:29Still, with great food and excellent company,
29:39a Sunday roast at the Blunt-Krasinski residence sounds delightful.
29:45Number 5, John Krasinski's Obsession With The Devil Wears Prada
29:50Think you're Emily Blunt's number one fan? Well, you should think again.
29:59We all know that Krasinski was a longtime admirer of hers, so much so, in fact,
30:09that he's confessed to seeing her movie The Devil Wears Prada roughly 70 times.
30:16Krasinski is even into all the amazing fashion on display.
30:20We imagine he knows his cerulean blues from his royal blues.
30:30The actor even joked that he settled for his wife because Anne Hathaway wasn't available.
30:43We guess Krasinski just has a thing for receptionists, or personal slash first
30:49assistants if you want to be precise. Of course, Blunt finds his love for the work
30:53endearing, and we're right there with her.
30:59Number 4, The Kimmel School Of Perfect Acting Skits
31:13A Quiet Place showed the world that Blunt and Krasinski belonged on screen together.
31:19But real fans have known that since they saw them in this hilarious skit,
31:23where they attend Jimmy Kimmel's unusual acting workshop to better their craft.
31:29Things start off quite intimate and intense,
31:32with the coach instructing them to breathe their lines directly into each other's mouths.
31:46We wonder how many takes it took them to get through it without laughing.
31:51The tone swiftly darkens as Kimmel ends their marriage for the sake of the scene.
31:59We love how invested they are, especially when Krasinski throws his wedding ring to the ground.
32:14Blunt's devastation is utterly heartbreaking.
32:17But don't worry, the bloopers tell a whole other, completely hysterical story.
32:22Number 3, Meant To Be
32:30If you're a sceptic of love at first sight, the Kruntz story might just sway you.
32:36It was 2008, and Blunt was hanging out with a pal in some LA restaurant discussing the
32:42joys of singledom. Her friend then noticed another friend, Krasinski, in the establishment.
32:48He came over to say hi, shook Blunt's hand, and made her laugh.
32:57You know the rest. Both confessed that the connection was instant,
33:02and said they knew almost immediately that they'd found their forever person.
33:18Okay, so maybe rom-com writers won't be rushing to buy the rights to this meet-cute,
33:25but it sounds pretty adorable to us.
33:28They tied the knot in 2010, getting their very own happily ever after.
33:37Number 2, Their Prank War With Jimmy Kimmel
33:40Krasinski and Blunt make the perfect trickster team.
33:43When they were neighbours with Jimmy Kimmel,
33:45they initiated a Christmas prank that launched an ongoing holiday tradition.
34:04As you can imagine, the jokes grew increasingly outrageous,
34:08and we think Jim from The Office would be proud.
34:11From Kimmel sending the Krunts a giant inflatable reindeer,
34:15to them leaving a special kind of secret Santa present in and on his car,
34:20there's no shortage of hysterical stories.
34:34Even when Kimmel brought his show to the East Coast, he fell prey to their antics.
34:39It looks like Jim Halpert from The Office found the perfect match,
34:43because if you ask us, this prank war is the holiday gift that keeps on giving.
35:10Number 1, Crashing An Acceptance Speech
35:21Is there anything more endearing than seeing someone fully reveling
35:26in their partner's accomplishments? We don't think so.
35:29At the 2015 Critics' Choice Awards,
35:32Krasinski was waiting backstage for his turn to present.
35:36The category before was Best Actress in an Action Movie, and guess who won?
35:51He was so excited that he couldn't resist running out on stage to congratulate her.
35:57Yay!
36:00He's presenting next, so...
36:02Their brief interaction is so sweet,
36:05and our hearts fully melt watching them hug excitedly.
36:09It's her achievement and her moment,
36:12and we love seeing him be such a sweet, supportive husband.
36:17This is, simply put, the definition of couple goals.
36:21I'm terrified I'm gonna wake up one morning and you're benching me.
36:26Which... which I did, just to kinda freak him out.
