However, in an interview with the Telegraph, Emily Blunt revealed the three words that, if she saw them in a script, would mean she would automatically turn down a role.
These are “strong female leads”.
“The worst thing is when you open a script and read those words,” she said.
The actress says that these words immediately make her feel bored.
“These roles are incredibly stoic; You spend the whole shoot acting tough and saying tough things,” she claims.

This is not the first time that Emily Blunt has criticized certain practices in Hollywood studios. Last June, she deplored unfair treatment between men and women in films, saying that actresses had to be warm and friendly while such standards were not required of actors.
The British actress also pointed out that women are often portrayed as “too ambitious or emotional” if they dare to express their opinions.
Last summer, Emily Blunt announced that she was taking a year off to spend more time with her family.
