While they have similar brown hair, blue eyes, and share the same surname, Emily Blunt confirmed in a December 2013 interview with GQ that she’s not related to English singer-songwriter James Blunt or British art historian Anthony Frederick Blunt.

However, she is related to politician Crispin Jeremy Rupert Blunt, who is her uncle.

“How many times do you think I’ve been asked that?” Emily responded when asked if she’s related to James Blunt. “It’s not a common name,” she admitted, “and I loathe that there’s another Blunt on the scene.”

In a November 2017 interview with Metro, Emily was once again asked if James Blunt is her brother.

No, James is not my brother. When we met we decided it would be funny to say that we are brother and sister and that we really hate each other and that the family lawyers are involved. I think people think that because we have brown hair and blue eyes we look similar so we have to be related.
