Emily Blunt reveals that Tom Cruise told her to ‘stop being such a p***y’ during a teary moment

Emily Blunt has revealed that she was told to ‘stop being such a p***y’ by co-star Tom Cruise while they filmed 2014 blockbuster Edge Of Tomorrow.

The actress admitted to getting emotional on the set due to the gruelling effort of working in the heavy robotic costume – which injured her ribs due to it’s build.

But as she got teary over the weight, the star admitted that her famous co-star ‘didn’t know what to do’, so simply offered the harsh words of encouragement.

She and Tom portray warriors who are caught in a time loop and tasked with saving Earth and the human species in the science-fiction film. 

And with this action plot came a hefty costume, with both characters kitted out in metal robotic suits.

While Top Gun and Mission Impossible star Tom is no stranger to action flicks, and known for doing his own stunts, It was the first action film for Emily.

According to The Times, the star explained to the Smartless podcast that she got emotional on set while donning the tough costume.

‘We had to wear these enormous suits, which I think would’ve been great if we had CGI’d them but we wanted to do it in a tactile way,’ she explained.

Continuing: ‘When you hear the word tactile you think that sounds nice and cosy; there was nothing cosy about these suits. It was like 85lb, it was so heavy. The first time I put it on I started to cry and [Tom] didn’t know what to do.’
