John Krasinski has never shied away from openly gushing about his wife, Emily Blunt, as he once opened up about how he first saw her and became her instant fan. On The Graham Norton Show, while promoting his 2018 film A Quiet Place with his co-star and wife, The Office star recalled meeting the Oppenheimer star. As per Harper’s Bazaar magazine, he shared, 

“When we first met, I was like, “I just want to get it out of the way—I’m a huge fan of yours,’” adding, “I was full stalker-status. I was like, ‘Hey, you want to go out on a date with me?’”

The actor claimed he had seen her 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada “72 times,” noting, “It’s just one of those movies that whenever you’re going through the channels, you just stop and you look.” His wife, Emily Blunt, further shared his favorite sequence of the flick, revealing, 

“There’s a sort of montage sequence where Anne Hathaway’s got numerous fabulous outfits that they go through. And John, one day I came home, and he was watching it, and he was watching the montage bit. And he goes, ‘That’s my favorite outfit.’”

After listening to this little anecdote, Krasinski subtly quipped, saying that he couldn’t get to romance her co-star Anne Hathaway, so he ended up being with her,

“I couldn’t get Annie and so I was like, ‘Ohhhh…’”

Krasinski and Blunt are one of the hottest couples in Hollywood. They often steal the spotlight with their head-turning red-carpet appearances.
