Became U.S. citizen ‘for tax reasons’

Interview0 Comments

In an interview with The Sunday Times Blunt says she became a U.S. citizen for practical purposes.

It’s mainly for tax reasons. I didn’t want to renounce my Queen…The thing that’s weird is I do get to keep both my British citizenship and this, but you have to renounce her. So, it’s kind of typically American — not to be rude — but I had to renounce her in the room but I don’t actually, technically renounce her. They were like, ‘Just say it. You don’t have to mean it, but just say it.’..You have to learn all about the Constitution.You can’t be a habitual drunk, you can’t be on a guerrilla squad and you can’t be a prostitute, which is a shame.

There used to be one book that everyone read, now there’s How to Raise a Gluten-free Baby, How to Raise a Scientific Baby … It’s insanity! So I haven’t read anything, I’m just letting her do her own thing.

Backstage cover

Magazine Cover0 Comments

Blunt appears on the cover of a December 2014 issue of Backstage magazine. She talks about playing the Baker’s wife in Into the Woods.

I think it’s the best part I’ve been given. She’s really funny, and she’s desperate and frenzied and immoral. She screws up and regrets. She’s human. She has faults. She’s bored. She’s all of the above. She gets seduced by the woods maybe more than anybody. I know everyone has these incredibly profound thoughts on what they think the woods are. But I think the woods are the trials of life.

California Style cover

Blunt appears on the cover of the December 2012 issue of California Style magazine. She talks about filming an action movie and her childhood stutter.

I had a really bad stutter as a kid, and the thing that got me out of it was to imagine I was someone else—to take on a new identity via silly voice or by mimicking. It was the only way I could speak fluently. Kids found it funny, and I can understand. There’s a frankness to the way they say, ‘What’s wrong with you? Why can’t you just say it?’

Magazine Cover0 Comments

Blunt appears on the cover of the May 2012 issue of Elle UK magazine. She talks about meeting President Obama, her stutter as a child, and her style.

I was so starstruck … we were at the White House having cocktails and this woman said, ‘Would you like to meet President Obama?’ They introduced me and then he turned to me and went, ‘Oh. Oh. You are a wonderful actress.’ And I laughed, screechingly and hysterically, I couldn’t stop. They had to usher me away. I fell apart. I don’t know what happened to me. He looked 9-feet tall. I think my eyes rolled back in my head. I gave Michelle a hug and she had skin like silk.
