Edge of Tomorrow

Emily Blunt Clarifies Tom Cruise Story: “I Absolutely Adore Tom”

by

Emily Blunt has clarified her recent comments on working with Tom Cruise for the film, Edge of Tomorrow. She had recently recalled a time when her co-star told her to “stop being such a pussy” on set.

“It’s ludicrous that it’s being spun as something that offended me,” Emily said in a statement to E! News on Dec. 12. “It didn’t. I shared the story as lightheartedly as it was meant by Tom.”

Blunt added that the story is “literally and absurdly out of context.”

She further continued: “I absolutely adore Tom, he’s a dear friend and he was a total gem to me. It was said as a joke to make me laugh, which it did in a big way. And it’s still something we laugh about to this day.”

Blunt first recalled the incident during an appearance on the SmartLess podcast with hosts Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett. She explained that she had begun crying due to the pressure of filming in the “enormous” costumes.

“I was like, ‘Tom, I’m not sure how I’m going to get through this shoot,’ and just started to cry,” Emily continued. “I was like, ‘I’m feeling a bit panicky about the whole shoot,’ and he stared at me for a long time, not knowing what to do, and he goes, ‘Come on, stop being such a pussy, OK?’”

She also said that the comments made her laugh at the time.

Edge of Tomorrow premiered back in 2014. In addition to Crusie and Blunt, the film starred Bill Paxton and Brendan Gleeson.

Emily Blunt Recalls Tom Cruise Telling Her To “Stop Being Such A P***y”

Emily Blunt says that Tom Cruise told her to stop being “a pussy” on the set of Edge of Tomorrow. Blunt recalled working with Cruise during an appearance on the SmartLess podcast.

“We had to wear these enormous suits, which I think would’ve been great if we had CGI’d them, but we wanted to do it in a tactile way,” Blunt told hosts Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett.

Blunt explained that the costumes they had to wear were unbearably heavy.

“When you hear the word ‘tactile,’ you think that sounds nice and cozy. There was nothing cozy about these suits. It was like 85 pounds. It was so heavy,” she further said. “The first time I put it on I started to cry, and [Cruise] didn’t know what to do.”

“I was like, ‘Tom, I’m not sure how I’m going to get through this shoot,’ and just started to cry,” she admitted. “I said, ‘I’m feeling a bit panicky about the whole shoot.’”

Afterward, Blunt said Cruise just “stared at her” for a while, before making her laugh with his next remark.

“He just stared at me for a long time, not knowing what to do, and he goes, ‘Come on, stop being such a p—y, OK?’” Blunt said.

Edge of Tomorrow premiered back in 2014. In addition to Crusie and Blunt, the film starred Bill Paxton and Brendan Gleeson. Doug Liman directed the movie. The film is set in a future where aliens are occupying most of Europe while Cruise and Blunt’s characters fend off the invaders.
