Stanley Tucci has been married to his “Devil Wears Prada” costar’s sister, Felicity Blunt, for 14 years.
Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt worked on Italian together
Emily Blunt got some help from Stanley Tucci on her Italian for “The Devil Wears Prada 2.”
It’s not just showbiz talk: Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci really are family.
“The Devil Wears Prada 2” stars poked fun at their family connection during an appearance on the “Today” show Wednesday, April 29. Tucci, 65, has been married to Blunt’s sister, literary agent Felicity Blunt, since 2012.
“Obviously, a lot has happened in 20 years” Blunt told “Today” host Jenna Bush Hager of the two-decade gap between “Prada 2” and the original 2006 film. “We’ve had kids. [Stanley] married my sister.”
“We are so related,” Blunt, 43, jokingly added, to which Tucci replied, “We’re over-related.”
While noting the nostalgia of the film’s cast reunion, Bush Hager quipped that the much-anticipated sequel was more of a “family reunion” for Blunt and Tucci.
“I see her all the time,” Tucci said of Blunt, while his costar teased, “I only see him in his slippers.”
“The Devil Wears Prada 2,” which hits theaters on Friday, sees the return of journalist and former fashion assistant Andy Sachs, who unexpectedly joins forces again with her icy boss, Miranda Priestly, as the new features editor at Runway Magazine.
The film also reckons with the explosion of artificial intelligence and the technology’s impact on journalism, which has become a frequent topic of conversation for Tucci and wife Felicity, the actor recently told USA TODAY.
“A lot of the time I don’t know what’s real and what’s not real anymore, so it’s better never to go on Instagram,” Tucci said. “It’s strange that way. I mean, my wife is a literary agent, and she said AI is just killing everything.
“You can [use it to] write books. Authors are going to suffer horribly. Journalists will suffer horribly – and screenwriters. Soon we won’t be able to tell what’s what. That is really, really, really disconcerting.”
