British actress Emily Blunt has opened up about her ability to establish chemistry with her co-stars.
While on The Howard Stern Show on April 30, 41-year-old Blunt disclosed to host Howard Stern, "I've had chemistry with people I haven't liked." When Stern asked her to name names, she simply replied, "I'm not gonna tell you."
"I have had chemistry with people who... I have not had a good time working with them," she added, still refusing to disclose any specific names.
"Sometimes it's a strange thing. Sometimes you could have a rapport that's really effortless, but it doesn't translate onscreen," she said.
Blunt discussed various tactics she uses to establish chemistry with a co-star, even when it's lacking. She mentioned trying to find something she likes about her fellow actor in order to improve their on-screen rapport.
"I've got to find something I love about everybody. I have to find something ... Even if it's one thing," she explained.
Blunt suggested, “find something you love about that person or something you love about them as the character and then kind of lean into that."
Despite her efforts to create chemistry with her romantic counterparts on screen, Blunt admitted that some moments on set have been challenging, even gross.
When Stern asked her if she ever felt like throwing up while kissing a fellow actor on set, she responded, "Absolutely. Absolutely."
In recent years, Blunt has starred alongside Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in Jungle Cruise, her husband, John Krasinski, in A Quiet Place, and Cillian Murphy in Oppenheimer.
While promoting her new action-comedy The Fall Guy, where she stars alongside Ryan Gosling, Blunt took a moment to confirm that she enjoyed working with Gosling.
“I love his wife, Eva. I love their children, and I feel like I’m very lucky to be friends with a gem of a person like him,” she said about Gosling.
