Emily Blunt, a steadfast presence in Hollywood, has firmly etched her name among the director’s top choices due to her remarkable achievements in the industry. Her recent portrayal in Oppenheimer stands as yet another shining example of her exceptional talent. Beyond her role as an extraordinary actress, she also holds the role of a devoted wife to none other than the beloved star of The Office—the charming Jim, a character adored as much as the show itself.

The Office’s mockumentary-style portrayal of the Dunder Mifflin paper company created an environment of humorous chaos. And Blunt offers her own perspective on the beloved show that has captured the hearts of many.

Emily Blunt shares her unique view on the hilarious chaos of The Office

The year 2008 marked the beginning of a love story as John Krasinski and Blunt’s paths intertwined. Amongst the constellation of his career, The Office bestowed upon Krasinski an unprecedented galaxy of fame and stardom that led him to remarkable roles such as Big Miracle and Captain America: The First Avenger. Amidst the adoration that envelops this show, Emily Blunt resonates with the same affection.

A guest on the Josh Horowitz Happy Sad Confused podcast, she playfully navigated through the labyrinth of quotes that come her way, pondering whether The Office or The Devil Wears Prada lines hold greater sway. With a chuckle, Blunt declared, “Office quotes, I mean it’s a religion.”

Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, Blunt underlines how The Office transformed into a religion. It assumed the role of a comforting ritual and therapeutic haven for countless individuals. It appeared as a unifying force, seamlessly weaving people together through its charm.

As John Krasinski’s spouse, Blunt not only extends her support but dons the mantle of an avid superfan, just like it got Billie Eilish obsessed. She candidly reveals that Krasinski’s engagement with the series waned beyond its fifth season, the same with Jack Ryan. 

It is not just Blunt who shares a perspective on The Office. Her children contribute their own comical outlook, adding a touch of levity to their parents’ connection and the world of the show.

Blunt’s children bring humor to their parents’ connection

Navigating the task of explaining one’s profession to a child can prove to be a whimsical challenge, particularly when your parents are renowned actors. In the case of Blunt and Krasinski, their two daughters, Hazel and Violet, have ingeniously surmised that their mother’s allure reaches new heights. It is through her portrayal in Mary Poppins Returns. Amidst the chaos, their children often find themselves befuddled by their father being identified from The Office. It leads them to whimsically perceive their father’s occupation as a humble office job.

These comical exchanges take an uproarious twist. The children whimsically envision their superstar mother as having gracefully settled down with an ordinary gentleman like Krasinski. They almost perceive Blunt’s marriage to him as a charitable act. To unravel the enigma of The Office, the parents resorted to having their kids watch a handful of episodes. This was to shed light on their father’s ‘work’. However, the outcome led to an unexpected revelation. The girls were more bewildered by their aversion towards Steve Carell’s character.
