Hollywood isn’t all about scandals. The film industry sometimes brings its share of beautiful love stories. The one that has existed for 14 years between John Krasinski and Emily Blunt is a typical example. The interpreter of Jack Ryan in the eponymous series to be found on Prime Video and the one who embodies Cornelia Locke in the mini-series The English (soon to be broadcast on Canal +) have been making perfect love since 2008. While John Krasinski was dining in a restaurant in Los Angeles with his actor friend Justin Theroux, Emily Blunt was also dining there with a friend, a few tables away. “He ditched Justin and came to see us. He just stood there and made me laugh. I knew immediately that there was something”, said the actress in interviews. You have to believe that the spark sprung from the start since they got engaged the following year. Yet John Krasinski nearly ruined the story early on. “For our first date, I took her to a shooting range, he revealed on Conan O’Brien’s Late Show. I think I was so sure I wasn’t going to end up with her that I thought, ‘Might as well screw this up now, so you won’t feel bad.’” But this meeting actually went very well.
