Emily Blunt has opened up about what recently gave her the “ick” when it came to her husband John Krasinski — to the point she joked it almost caused a “full organ rejection”.
Blunt and Krasinski got married in 2010 after first getting together two years earlier, and they’ve since welcomed two daughters, Hazel and Violet.
Even after more than a decade and a half together, Blunt admitted there are still moments when her husband’s style choices don’t quite land for her — particularly when it comes to certain wardrobe staples.
Appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon late last month, the Devil Wears Prada 2 actor explained that Krasinski’s Golden Globes look this year was almost a dealbreaker for one specific reason: she’s not a fan of men wearing turtlenecks.
“I’ll be honest… I have a full organ rejection to turtlenecks usually,” she told Fallon.
“When John pitched me this outfit and he was like, ‘And it’s a turtleneck,’ I had to compose my face into, like, impassive, ‘Oh, that sounds great,’ you know?’”
She went on to say that while her default reaction is usually a firm no, Krasinski managed to pull it off — at least this time.
Blunt continued: “But then when I saw [him], I thought he looked like Michael Caine. He looked so cool. ‘60s vibe. But normally a man in the turtleneck gives me the ick. Sorry to any turtleneck wearers tonight.”
And turtlenecks aren’t the only menswear trend she finds off-putting. Blunt added that certain leather jacket looks also fall into “ick” territory — depending on the vibe.
Men in turtlenecks is not the only fashion statement that gives Blunt the ‘ick’, as she continued: “I don’t mind a James Dean leather jacket, but if we’re looking at a dad leather jacket, where it’s a little bomber jacket and it’s very shiny? A little tight. And cropped.”
Blunt and Krasinski have also shared the screen in recent years, starring together in A Quiet Place, which went on to be a major hit.
Still, Blunt has said there was some hesitation at the start, since working as co-stars while married came with its own set of worries. In ELLE’s 2025 Women In Hollywood Celebration issue, she recalled her early nerves about the project.
Speaking about a conversation she had with her partner, Blunt said: “Before we started, I was like, ‘Look, I’m thrilled to be doing this with you, but do you know how to shoot this movie? Because I don’t know how to shoot a movie. So I’m just asking,’
“He was laughing and he was like, ‘I think I do know how to shoot it. I don’t know why, but I think I do.’ Then, my God, did he. And can you imagine if he thought I was really s***. That would not be good.”
