Emily Blunt’s daughters thought she was ‘the meanest person’ after watching ‘The Devil Wears Prada’

Emily Blunt’s daughters were horrified by their mother’s famous performance in “The Devil Wears Prada.”

“They thought I was the meanest person they’ve ever met,” the actress — who shares Hazel, 10, and Violet, 7, with husband John Krasinski — told Page Six Monday at 18th Annual American Institute for Stuttering gala.

Reflecting on the classic 2006 film, in which she plays an assistant at a high-end fashion magazine, Blunt said “It’s incredible that it has such an indelible fingerprint on people … and it’s quoted to me every week.”

She added the cast, including Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and Stanley Tucci, had “the time of our lives” working on the movie.

“At the time I was young, it was my first big movie,” she told us. “I remember my agent calling me and telling me about the opening weekend. I was like, ‘Is that good?’ Like I didn’t know what was good.”

Earlier this month, Blunt and Krasinski made a rare appearance with their little movie critics at the US Open in New York. The family of four sat courtside for the women’s final match.

On Monday, while at the gala, Blunt, 41, told us the American Institute for Stuttering is a charity close to her heart.

Blunt shared that she was “embarrassed” by her stutter as a child and had “begun to shut down” before getting help.

“I never thought I would be in a job where I’d have to communicate so much,” she confessed, noting that one of her teachers encouraged “me to reach for something higher than I thought I was capable of.”

She continued, “I do think it’s really ironic that I’ve ended up being in a job that is so public and full of so much public speaking … And I’m grateful because I love what I do.”

The “Oppenheimer” star offered advice for kids who also stutter to “speak openly about it, don’t keep it in the shadows.” 

Blunt, who attended the event with Krasinski, sits on the board of directors of the advocacy group, which raised over one million dollars and goes towards providing free or low-cost therapy to underserved people who stutter.
