Emily Blunt and John Krasinski, a British actress, are one of the few Hollywood couples renowned not only for their acting and films, but also for their personal lives. The couple has been married for almost a decade and has two children together, Violet, 4, and Hazel, 7.

Blunt stated why she wants their children to be “oblivious” to her and Krasinski’s celebrity in a recent interview with The Sunday Times.

“If [my children] can remain oblivious for the longest time I’d be thrilled,” she started.

Emily went on to describe how she handled a question from one of her kids, Hazel, who asked whether she was a celebrity, saying, “it’s a strange thing to navigate. [She] came home the other day and we were in the kitchen and she goes, ‘Are you famous?’”

“And I’d never heard her… We’ve never said that word in our house. We don’t talk about it,” the actress added. “Someone at school had clearly said it. I was like, ‘Um…not really, I don’t think I am.’”

“Did someone say that to you, Haze?’ She said, ‘Yeah,’ but then she wouldn’t divulge much more, you know, but it’s weird. It’s weird.”

In 2010, Emily Blunt and John Krasinski got married. Despite her and her husband’s enormous success in the entertainment world, she wants her girls to solely think of them as “Mom and Dad.”

“I don’t want my kids to feel any more important or special or that there’s a glare on them any more than other kids,” she added. “If they can remain oblivious for the longest time, I’d be thrilled. They don’t even want to see what I do.”

She revealed, “They don’t even like it when I put on make-up. They don’t like any of it! They just
want me to be their mummy.”

When asked if she wants her children to be actors, the actress provided a straightforward answer.

“God no—no!” said Blunt. “Please God keep them off the stage.”
