Emily Blunt Needs a Martini Before a Premiere

Actress Emily Blunt still gets nervous when attending red carpet events, but she’s learned a trick to help calm her nerves.

“You step out of the car and it’s bedlam. Everyone’s got crazy eyes. Now, I have a martini before I leave – just to take the edge off it,” she told the British edition of Harper’s Bazaar magazine.

“”I’m just like any other normal person. After this interview, I’m going to immigration to try to sort out my Green Card. Then I’m being a wife; flying to Alaska to see John [Krasinski] on set. He’s the funniest man in the world. To most, but to me especially.”

Blunt who’s alway tight-lipped about her relationship with Kransinski says that she’ll continue to keep her romantic life private.

“It’s why I don’t ever talk about John. When you’re in love, you’re so happy that you want to tell people about it. But now I have to censor myself. You need to protect the happiness you have,” she said.
