Emily Blunt Stole This “Devil Wears Prada” Line After Overhearing a Mean Mom at the Store (2015)

2006 Devil Wears Prada Are you so confident in your abilities that when you get cast with Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway that intimidates you at all or you just don't care? No, I felt very intimidated. I remember the table read was Meryl and you know. We're all shaking, it's the table read that comes after you get hired, it just comes out when you get hired and you do a table read where you just read the script that you said in that movie where you play some kind of woman that I don't like that you wouldn't like to date a certain and you to prepare yourself went around and found really horrible people to emulate where do you find horrible people?

I like to absorb people on the street and people like I want to know what you

mean

by absorbing people. I guess I steal from people I know and you steal from a friend, like I saw a mother talking to her son in a supermarket when we were filming that movie and it's a phrase they quote to me. Now where she yelled at her son in a supermarket and she did like that with one hand like she was working with a puppet and she says yes, I'm listening to

this

and I want to hear

this

right.

I put it in the movie, yeah. When I hear this it's that the secret to being a great actress is that you have to watch what people do by imitating it, a part of me sometimes feels like I think that's what helps me, that's what helps me feel what that other people would feel like they were in my skin and that's the trick that makes sense and other times I think it's the ultimate expression of empathy. You have to be so interested in people and empathize deeply with them that you can easily throw off your entitlement. like if I said you're a typical American right now, could you get rid of it easily?

It's not that easy for me. How do you do it? What you have to do? You have to adopt a mindset or go back to being a copycat. imitate you know an accent yes, who do you imitate who do you think of when you if I told you right now here's a part I was in the United States it would be American you would go to the northeast and something like something from the south, where would you go? Go for it I think British people always say it's like a standard American accent, which is probably insulting because I think accents are very different in America.

The standard accent is a Midwestern accent, no, it's very strange. I don't even hate Renée, how do you do it? What would you do if you had to play a Brit? Your accent is not a standard American accent. That's not all we are taught as a standard American. I'm like a New Yorker. You are in New York. I have an actor from New York. Know? New York accents are really difficult for Brits, while a Southern accent is easier, for some reason the beats and drumming are a lot easier when you would do it in a movie like Devil Wears Prada, but you played a Brit. there, so that's it.

True, it's easy, I said: do you want me to make it American? I said I'd rather play her as British because I think there's a kind of superiority that works with arrogance and arrogance, yes, and it worked, yes, an imperious quality, but when you come to see Tom Cruise and you think he wants you to play the United States. United, but it was not like that. I

mean

most people. I think people really like the British accent and that's why I'm being accepted the way I have. both, but can you enjoy playing an American? I enjoy it, um, if it helps me go in a different direction with a character, if it helps me unleash a different kind of chameleon, but there's something that's not so liberating for me, if you have to put on an accent when you were filming Sicario , I understand you got sick during filming, did you get what they called Montezuma's Revenge, do they stop filming or do you have to do the show, do you have to continue, did you really work for the movie? because I was supposed to look sweaty and terrified because we were looking at bodies hanging from a bridge saying, let's do this, that's a heavy scene, suitable to show that you really have to look authentic in the one where you walk in and a sign has already just wiped out all these people and you see them and you smell them and they're dead guys, dead corpses there and you and you're someone who's never been traumatized like that before, not to that extent, I mean, she's very tactically adept at being an FBI agent. , but I think what she is exposed to in the war on drugs is something else entirely.

Does the director tell you? Listen, you did it, this is the setup, you gotta be really grossed out, here, come on, this is how it works and my whole thing. You know, we're really trying to find the reality of the situation. I think when people are really scared and really disgusted, they turn it up like people have this pretty shocked expression. In other words, the trick is that most fans would say, "Oh, you." I know you have it all because you are a tough FBI woman, yes you have to act, so she tries to say face throughout the movie, so it is a subtle movement on camera.

I think the camera sees everything you know. I've learned over the years that you don't see everything, so he's acting in the eyes, you just have to feel it, just feel it, no, this is what fascinates me, so you're a little boy growing up and you're a stutterer. and a bad one I mean I have it bad and some teacher realizes that when you act in school plays or whatever you are doing and you become a character that you don't stutter as much what happens when you become a Characterize it because people who sings says this.

I started that when I sing it disappears, like you get away from yourself, and I used to really enjoy talking in stupid voices and I loved accents when I was a kid because it was a form of fluent speech and this teacher you just talked about realized He said you want to be in the class play and I said no and he said well please, you know, I think you should, I think that would be great, I said. I heard you do your thing with your friends and do impressions. He said. I heard you do it with me.

I heard you do it with a lot of people. Why don't you do it in a silly voice? Which is surprising that he had that. Kind of a perception as someone who doesn't stutter and most teachers don't pay attention to that borrowing. No, the fact that he really focused on you is really good, yes, sir. McHale here now mr. McHale Mr. McHale, I have to say hello to you because, you know, that's pretty cool. Most of the teachers ignored me, no matter what I did, no one saw anything in me.
