Emily Blunt has started "taking care" of herself by embracing a regular fitness regime

She told The Telegraph newspaper: "I've run towards taking care of myself,. I've got two beautiful children, and I want to keep making physically challenging movies for as long as I can. But I do still sometimes feel 42. I'll be bending down to pick up a towel and catch myself going 'Eee-aah'."

Emily admitted she looked different during her recent appearance at the Venice Film Festival in Italy because she lost weight for her role in the upcoming The Devil Wears Prada sequel, telling the publication: "It was important to me that [my character] Emily should always look hangry [hungry and angry] ...

"So I think the effects of that were what you saw in Venice."

In the interview, Emily went on to admit she's pleased to still be landing plumb movie roles in her 40s, but she worries that the work she's offered may change as she gets older.

She said: "I know it's coming. I'm not so naive as to think I'll be immune to the shifts; I don't think anyone is. I just hope the landscape has changed enough in the last few years that when it comes, I'll still be able to find variety."

Emily will next be seen in new sports drama The Smashing Machine opposite Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson after previously working together on 2021's Jungle Cruise and she recently admitted she got to know the former wrestler's softer side.

Speaking at the Toronto International Film Festival, Emily explained: "We just became very fast friends, like an immediate secret language, which I think you feel with certain people that you work with ...

"We just talked and shared our souls. And I was just really taken by, I guess, how different he was from what I had imagined.

"He was so gentle and quite interior and sort of contemplative and kind, just easy. Like, so lovely to be around, funny and quick, all these qualities."
