In this interview conducted for the Herald, I speak to John Krasinski and Emily Blunt about their new smash-hit horror movie, the first collaboration for the married pair.

English actor Emily Blunt (The Devil Wears Prada) and American actor/director John Krasinski (The Office) have been a celebrity couple for almost a decade, but you’d never describe them as a tabloid fixture.

It’s easy to forget they are even a couple, despite getting hitched in 2010, keeping their personal lives completely private.

But that policy, whether official or not, appears to have been set aside for the new horror film A Quiet Place, in which they both star, and which Krasinski directed and co-wrote.

The film sees the pair mirror their real-life family, playing the married parents of two children. Fortunately, the similarities end there, given the nail-biting peril the family faces in the movie.
