Emily Blunt was a childhood tomboy

Fashionable ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ actress Emily Blunt admits she hated being dressed in girly clothing when she was younger. The stunning 27-year-old, who married actor John Krasinski in Italy earlier this year, says she hated even wearing pink. “I never dreamed of being a princess when I was a child – I wanted to be on the soccer team. I wasn’t into Barbie dolls and swore I’d never, ever wear pink,” she says. “I’d throw tantrums if my mum put me in pink clothes. Not a girlie girl at all.” Emily says she believes her tomboy attitude now helps her on film sets. “I like being one of the boys. It usually ends up being the case anyway because there’s often one female part to every five male parts on a film set. When you’re outnumbered, you have to be willing to accept that there might be crass humour going around, but you get used to it.”
