Emily Blunt isn’t one to love being the center of attention, stating that it was a common trait for British people to shy away from the spotlight. However, with her performance in her latest film Sicario, it is clear that the actress will just have to learn to put up with it. After garnering fame in her acting career for more effeminate roles such as her feisty character on The Devil Wears Prada, the 32-year-old has recently been making a transition to tougher roles such as her quite recent project with Tom Cruise, Edge of Tomorrow.
The rather introverted actress, however, did not hold back on her bluntness (pun intended) when she commented on how disappointed she was on Cannes’ no-flats policy, which turned away numerous women who weren’t in heels from entering the film festival. The British beauty commented that she herself would prefer to be in Converse sneakers, but we are thankful that she continues to hit the red carpets in one pair of amazing heels after another.
