Still, while Krasinski and Blunt generally keep their daughters out of the spotlight, the girls have proven to be pivotal sources of inspiration. Take, for instance, The Office alum’s latest film, If, which he wrote and directed.
“I would watch my kids disappear every day into this magical [world] that Emily and I aren’t invited into,” he told E! News on May 13. “And it was COVID, because I saw their lights starting to dwindle. I could see they were playing fewer and fewer imaginary games, and they started asking big questions and they were letting the world in.”
He continued, “I said, ‘Emily oh my god, that’s the definition of growing up. They’re deciding whether or not they should let go of childhood.’ And I went, ‘No. You don’t have to make that decision. That magical world you created is there for you always, you can always go back.'”
