Blunt Answers

I like Emily Blunt as an actress.  I may like her even more as a guest being interviewed, and often game to put herself in offbeat situations.  This falls more in that latter category.



(My favorite Emily Blunt interview though only involves her as the subject -- when her husband John Krasinski tells the story of going through customs to visit her and having to deal with an annoyed British Customs official who is annoyed at learning that Krasisnki not only starred in the American version of The Office, but is married to Blunt.)



​Anyway, as for this piece here, Vanity Fair does a feature where they get celebrities to take a lie detector and then ask interestingly amusing questions.  And Emily Blunt -- as is her way -- not only agreed, but was especially amusing.  Not just with her answers, but also her byplay with "Barry" who is the lie detector technician, both chatting with him as well continually checking to see if she keeps getting things...well, "right."



Big credit, too, to Vanity Fair for some of the questions -- one in particular.  Happily, you won't have to guess which it is, since even they recognize how good it is and put it first, though only as a teaser.  You have to wait until later for them to come back to it later for the answer.  But her reaction to merely getting the question is almost worth it for the whole video.  And shows that she recognizes what a great question it is, even before they finish asking it but she sees where it's going....
