Emily Blunt got to know and love Australia while filming her latest movie, The Fall Guy, in Sydney last year.
And the British actress says her whole family – who she travelled to Australia with – shared her passion for all things Down Under.
The 41-year-old, who has two daughters, Hazel, 9, and Violet, 7, with American actor husband John Krasinski, says her kids were delighted with the weather.
‘Sydney was so good to us and welcomed us with open arms,’ she tells the Daily Telegraph.
‘The kids adored it – they adored missing the New York winter. It was the best – the best food, the best restaurants, just the nicest people.’

Emily added that she and her family had a ‘low-key life’ in Australia in between filming on the high octane set.
‘It was just this endless group of actors who just wanted to see how far they could go to make each other laugh, and so it was a joy in that way,’ she says.
In the three-minute trailer for the film, released in November, Colt (Ryan Gosling) finds himself in quite the complicated situation while working with his director ex Jody (Blunt) while also trying to solve a crime.
Nearly the entire clip focuses on whether or not Colt and Jody rekindle the flame and toward the end a moment is shown of the two finally sharing a kiss.

The trailer is set to the tune of Bon Jovi classic You Give Love A Bad Name which sets the fun tone for the action comedy film.
Colt and Jody reunite on set despite the director insisting she never wants to work with the star again.
However things get particularly interesting when the star of the film Tom Ryder, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, goes missing.
Jody asks Colt to find Tom which leads him to plenty of trouble but luckily he has his stunt training background to get him out of many physical situations.
The film also stars Hannah Waddingham and Winston Duke.

There’s no doubt that the action, with many of the most impressive moments shot on location in iconic spots around the harbour city, is a huge draw for Australian film fans.
Both the Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge were closed down during production, to allow the incredible moments to be captured on film safely.
With rave early reviews touching on the film’s comedy, Gosling and Blunt’s palpable chemistry and the film’s tribute to the stunt profession and wider film industry,
The Fall Guy has already been given an impressive 89 per cent approval rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes.
