Emily Blunt recalled having the worst audition experience at the age of 19 with the Russian director, Andrei Konchalovsky. The British actress revealed that she was 19 when she auditioned for a role in the 2003 movie, The Lion in Winter. The Fall Guy actress claimed that the director was cruel towards her, and after the audition, she “left feeling a shell of my former self by the time I came out.” She continued saying that, because of Konchalovsky, she felt reduced.
Emily Blunt’s worst audition experience
According to Sun reports, Emily Blunt spoke of her worst audition experience, where she described the Russian native as cruel and horrible. The Devil Wears Prada star said, “He was really cruel in the audition and loved taking me down a peg or two. It was a very misogynistic vibe and I just remember feeling like a shell of my former myself by the time I came out. That one stands out to me as one that was horrible because you just feel so reduced.”
Moreover, while the English actress spoke of her career prospects at the US Foundation of Actors in December 2023, Blunt, without naming the director, took a pick at him by calling him “vile” and “horrible.”
“Of course we are not always unflappable. You are going to get your feelings hurt—it is how it goes. There is an element of living in the trenches with this job sometimes,” said the Quiet Place actress.
