Emily Blunt cried when she tried on her the 'Edge of Tomorrow' costume.
Emily Blunt cried when she tried on her bulky costume for 'The Edge of Tomorrow' and Tom Cruise helped her crack her a smile.
The 31-year-old actress and her co-star Tom Cruise had to don bulky plastic suits in the sci-fi movies, and though the 51-year-old actor - who tried his costume first - found the outfits heavy and uncomfortable he didn't want to tell the brunette beauty how "challenging" they were.
Speaking on US talk show 'The Tonight Show', he explained: "When I got it [the costume] on I was like there was no way to make it any lighter ... It was plastic.
Edge Of Tomorrow"But I didn't tell anyone because Blunt hadn't showed up. She'd trained for three months. I knew it was going to be challenging. It just looks cool on film, we gotta act in this stuff ...
"I never told her how heavy the suit was I made sure I was there the first day that she tried it on. She was doing her stunts."
Asked about her reaction, he said: "She cried."
Tom wanted to make her laugh while she was in pain and in a stern voice he told her not to be a "wuss", which did the trick.
He added: "I was standing there, I'm friends with her husband John [Krasinski]. Her first stunt in the film, I just looked at her, what do you say at that moment? I looked at her and thought I just have to make her laugh, so very seriously I said, 'Don't be such a wuss.'
"She stopped for a second looked at me and burst out laughing."
