Hollywood stars Matt Damon and Emily Blunt share a unique bond, extending beyond their on-screen collaborations to their lives as neighbors. The two actors, who star in Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer," recently shared insights into their friendship and living arrangements with Fox News Digital.
Blunt, a mother of two, expressed her delight at sharing a building with Damon, describing their shared dinners and social gatherings. However, she humorously drew the line at one particular neighborly activity: reading lines together. "I've never read lines with Matt Damon, and I never will," Blunt quipped, adding playfully, "I don’t want your notes or your thoughts, ever."
Damon, in turn, revealed another shared aspect of their neighborly relationship: seeking advice from Blunt's husband, John Krasinski. "We both go to her husband for advice," Damon admitted, prompting Blunt to joke, "Everyone comes to John for advice… ‘How do I deal with Matt Damon?’"
Beyond their friendly banter, both actors discussed their roles in "Oppenheimer." Damon portrays Gen. Leslie Groves Jr., the director of the Manhattan Project. He spoke about the challenges of capturing the tension between the military and the scientists involved in the project. Blunt, who plays Kitty Oppenheimer, described her character as a complex and formidable woman, far from the typical 1940s housewife. She highlighted Kitty's unwavering support for her husband despite their reportedly tumultuous relationship.
The article also touched upon Blunt's decision to take a break from acting to focus on her family, and Damon's appearance with his daughters at the "Oppenheimer" premiere in Paris.
Finally, Damon expressed his gratitude for his career and the opportunity to work in the film industry, echoing sentiments shared by Tom Cruise about the importance of loving one's work.
