The objective has been attained.
Emily Blunt asserts that while working on “Edge of Tomorrow” with Tom Cruise, he gave her some odd, yet motivating advice.
The now-39-year-old actress remembers her Hollywood co-star dishing her some tough love on the set of the 2014 action film, a break from her usual romantic comedies. As she struggled with her 85-pound outfit, she claimed that Cruise instructed her to “stop being such a p—y.”
“We had to wear these big outfits, which I believe would’ve been wonderful if they had been CGI’d, but we wanted to do it in a tactile way,” she said in a podcast edition of “SmartLess” premiering Monday, according to news sources.
“When you hear the word ‘tactile,’ you think of something warm and inviting. These clothes were not particularly comfortable. It weighed about 85 pounds. “It weighed so much,” she continued. “When I put it on for the first time, I began to cry, and [Cruise] did not know what to do.”
In 2014, Cruise and Blunt featured in “Edge of Tomorrow.”

Blunt stated that Cruise “stared at her” as her anxiety over donning the bulky outfit increased.
She confessed, “I was like, ‘Tom, I’m not sure how I’m going to get through this shoot,’ and I just began crying.” “I said, ‘I’m a little anxious about the entire thing.’”
Again, but in a positive manner, “The Devil Wears Prada” actress cried at hearing Cruise’s reported remark.
“He just gazed at me for a while, unsure of what to do, and then he said, ‘Come on, quit being such a p—y, OK?’” She added that it caught her by surprise and made her giggle.
The Post contacted a representative for Cruise, 60, for comment.

In “Edge of Tomorrow,” Cruise and Blunt play soldiers attempting to preserve humanity from an alien invasion in a time loop.
Blunt reportedly suffered injuries to her ribs and collarbone while filming the science-fiction movie, in addition to the huge suit. She reportedly told Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett on a podcast that the damaged bones “are still questionable.”
