When Anne Hathaway Emily Blunt Forget They’re On Camera

Someone's motioning something sexual to me over there. He was like this. That is, that is my Facebook update. And then the movie starts. And there's music. And there's a really great guy called Johnny Glenn, he plays the lead. He plays the lead, he's tremendous. Maintaining a perfect image is common in Hollywood, but Emily Blunt and Anne Hathaway stand out because they are brutally honest and never afraid to go after anyone. So what would you do? I'd probably go for the balls, right? Someone. Is that what they teach? Do they teach that or is that just your instinct? No. It was worst word. And Emily Blunt's worst words were moist ointment. Emily has a way of turning innocent questions into the starting point for answers nobody sees coming. What do you want now? Uh, pretty sweaty but only in spots. Ooh, which spots? Come on. Under the arms. Crotch? Yeah, when he said it was hot, I suppose it's hot as my balls. It's hot as my balls. When you sweat, where do you tend to sweat from? Have a dodgy tummy. I do, yes. In general. That's a nice way of saying it, yeah. Like not great. No, no, not great. I don't know if you remember your dodgy tummy when we went on holiday in Mexico together. I do remember that, yes. And you were so excited about going fishing. Once every ten years, I forget that I get seasick and I go on a boat. I just bought a couple of reference shots because I knew we'd probably be talking about travel. Oh, you did? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's, uh... He's been so nice. He's literally, he's like, I need to have a 15-minute work call at one point during the day. And I burst inside. I'm like, honey, there's a sunset outside. We have to go. And he was like, okay, honey, I'm just, I'm on the work call. And I just sunk. I just immediately pull a sulk. And I'm sitting there. I'm like, well, it's happening right now. We're going to miss it. The thing is, we're at a hotel, which is on, like, a 100-acre estate. Like, the front yard is 20 acres and the back yard is 80 acres. And he's like, well, okay, sweetie, I'll come find you wherever you be. And I go, if I'm not in the front, I'll be in the back. And then I hid behind a statue and stuck my foot out and got mad when he couldn't find me. All the praise for Mary Poppins lasted only a few seconds, before one unexpected remark sent the entire story in a completely different direction. I mentioned to someone that I'm playing Mary Poppins. They go, Mary Poppins! Like, they're just sort of so into Dick Van Dyke. The accent? It's not a Cockney accent. It's not? But it didn't bother you as a kid? No! I mean, I didn't notice it at all. And, you know, my mom, who is very well-spoken, was like, I mean, I think we look back on it with great fondness. That Dick Van Dyke is slightly backhanded Cockney. Then the other day, she goes, do your... She's American, of course. Sounds American. But she goes, do your Mary Poppins voice. And I go, spit spot, and off we go. And she goes, it was just so... Matthew McConaughey's charm was nothing new to Anne Hathaway, especially once she started behaving a little differently around him. Unusual person. Yes. Do you find yourself becoming part of his orbit? Because it seems like I've been around him a few times, and everybody just kind of does what he's up to. Absolutely. Totally. Like, all of a sudden, you're with him, and all of a sudden, you find yourself kind of like, leaning back. Oh, you lean back. You talk, you know. Maybe don't enunciate as much, but sometimes you do. You enunciate intentionally. Like, when I walk into the gym, normally, you know, you walk into the gym, and you see... And I work out in West Hollywood, so you see, like, Thor's trainer. Like, you know, it's like the people who have too many muscles to be in the Avengers. That's who works out at my gym. And so they... I see them, and I would normally walk in and feel so intimidated. But I walk in, and I'm like, yeah, I work out with five-pound weights, but I pushed a baby out of my body. I feel good right now. Not every reporter is ready for every possible situation. And the moment this one faced Emily, it quickly became obvious. I really got... I know you're always in shape, right? How dare you! Did you see that? He went, you, you, you... I mean, you know... Emily, you're a bit... You know, but... but you got... Others may choose silence to keep things safe, but Anne Hathaway has never been one of them. Fans are really excited about this. It was a couple days ago we finally saw the first photos of you as Catwoman. How do you fit into that suit? A lot of lead time. Sit-ups, tricep curls, and, you know... You're in phenomenal shape right now. Bench kicks, I don't know. How much weight have you lost to get into this shape right now? You did not just ask me that question! No, I'm just saying, you're like... What a forward young man you are! My goodness! I'm sorry. I'm not saying you needed to lose weight. I'm just saying that you look... I've worked very hard to become Selena Kyle. All right, thank you very much. I'm sorry if I offended you. You didn't at all. I'm just messing with you. Thanks, Anne. One of the lucky things about being in this business for so long is that I've really kind of come to terms with the pressure that you get to look a certain way as an actress, and I don't beat myself up about that stuff anymore. But after I had my son, the weight was really slow to come off, and so I was a different size than I normally am. We have eight women in this movie. We need to have as many body types up there as we can, which I was really relieved to hear. But I walked on the set and my weight's a little up and I'm just aware of it. And I walk on the set and I'm in my jeans and I've done my best and I'm gonna love myself no matter what, and Sandy Bullock just looks up and goes, looking good, Mama. Just like, that made me feel amazing. And then Cate Blanchett's like, nice jeans, by the way. I was like, that's so great. And then Rihanna looks up and goes, damn, girl, you got a ass. They surprise people in two completely different ways. Emily with her razor-sharp reactions and Anne with stories that initially sound completely harmless. Green and smells like, uh... Is this a question or it smells like what? Pork. What's green and smells like... Why is it something gross? It's like... No, it's not gross. Kermit's penis or something. No. Good, though. Kermit's finger, but it was close. That was crazy you would go there. Kermit's penis. We were filming Batman. There was this one day we were filming in Central London and Christian was walking to set and there were these two boys and they're sitting there and they're staring at him and one of them goes, oy, you Batman. And the other one goes, no, he's not Batman. Look at his teeth. Working with child actors seemed like the sweetest part of the job. But for Emily Blunt, things quickly took a very different turn. Kids with English accents are so much cuter than regular kids. Do you think? Yes. I love it. That little blonde one, he's wild. Oh, the little one is adorable. He's so sweet. He was... What's his name? He's called Joel and there was a lot of kind of Joel wrangling on script, on set because he was sort of crazy and had never done a film before. He didn't know how to focus and there was a lot of like, okay, we're rolling Joel and we're like, Joel, focus. Joel, Joel, please. Joel, Joel, we're rolling. Joel, Joel. And then before I had this mammoth monologue, I remember like, really fast-paced monologue. I was just trying to focus for a second. They were like, okay, rolling, rolling. And Joel would be like, Emily, what'd you get if you put the letter B in front of the word, oobs? And I was like... The world of pop music and became a pop star. I could have been Britney. You could have been Britney? What happened? Why weren't you? Why aren't you Britney? Because I realized that I'm not good at dancing and I didn't want a Britney. I don't know. I think I... Who approached you and tried to get you involved? I don't want to tell you too much because I feel like someone's going to find these songs that I recorded. Oh, you have songs. I see. What are... How many songs did you record? Do you want to know the name of one of them? Yes, very much. Ring It Up. There's a song called Ring It Up? It will never see the light of day. Did you write the song? No. No, I can't. Emily Blunt's dream of becoming Britney Spears seemed perfectly intact. Until Anne Hathaway decided to step in. But Anne Hathaway, you also do an impression. I do Britney Spears. I see. This is an oldie, but a goodie. Oh, baby, baby, how was I supposed that something wasn't right here? I shouldn't have let you go. Now you're out of sight. I'm a paparazzi. I don't play no Yahtzee. I go pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. See, I tell the truth from what I see and sell it to Perez Hilti. Call me scuzzy, making money. That's my job, celeb photography. What hell? No, I'm not needy. I'm legit, not stalker. I see that you from Jersey. Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. Scream all you want, won't make me stop. I know you love to feel my pop. That may be the clearest thing they have in common. The more pressure they are under, the more easily they take control of the entire conversation. And the way this award season's turned out wasn't that much of a rivalry. So just let it go. So... You guys are at the tail end of that because you were riding Barbie's coattails all summer. Thanks for Ken-splaining that to me. All right, mister, I need to paint my abs on to get nominated. You don't see Robin Downey doing that. You're kidding. Robin Downey did not paint his abs on. This is insane, Emily. This has got to stop. We have to squash this. Tell me that when your mom met Ryan, she was quite smitten by him. She was so... She was like, you look very nice in that white suit. I was like... I was like, all right. It is weird, like how we... I was like, you're at a 10 on the creep factor. Anne Hathaway started with a simple impression, then pushed her version of Katie Holmes further than anyone expected. Thanks, Ellen. It's great to be... Great to be anywhere right now. I was working last week and I was on set and we were just passing the time and have you seen one of that movie trivia game where it's cards and they just ask you questions? Oh, yeah. They have a bunch of quizzes like sports and movies. I was just having one of those runs where I couldn't miss. Yes. I just knew and I was surprising myself and it was like... Well, you know your stuff. You know movies. I didn't... I mean, apparently I do and then I got to this one question and they were like, oh, okay, so junior executive assistant in Devil Wears Prada. I'm just like, Emily Blunt. And they were like, no. And it wasn't her, it was me, so... I was gonna say, wait. That friendship began with a moment when their impressions of each other could not have been more different. I'm sure everyone is curious, how did we meet? We met... Did we meet before the table read of Devil Wears Prada or was it at the table read? This is so embarrassing because I remember every second of the first time I met you and you're like, did we? No, because I also am very blurry on most memories. I'm so much more into you than you are into me. The better they understood each other, the more comfortable they became putting one another into hilariously awkward situations. And that is exactly what makes their friendship so special. Jessica Pastor, my stylist, just sort of killed people at dawn for it. Oh yeah, listen, I would never go up against Jessica Pastor or Erin Walsh for that matter. Tell me about your look, Annie. I am wearing Louis Vuitton and I love it and I didn't know that we would be having a joyful skirt-off. You are having a very major... We just keep sort of attacking each other with our skirts. I forgot my glasses. Clearly. And the envelope. Oh my God. Where does the character end and the actor begin? Well, as we've just seen Meryl and Miranda Priestley are sort of like twins. Right? I don't think I'm anything like Miranda Priestley. That wasn't a question.
