Emily Blunt has worked with several renowned actors over the years. She had a celebrated career of more than 20 years and has starred in some of the most successful blockbusters. Among all the co-stars she has worked with, neither Dwayne Johnson nor Cillian Murphy could attain enough praise from the actress like Susan Sarandon.
The Oppenheimer actress has worked with some of the finest names in the industry, like Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, and some of the most prominent contemporary names, like Cillian Murphy and Dwayne Johnson. However, Emily Blunt has never spoken as highly about them as her Irresistible co-star Susan Sarandon.

What did Emily Blunt have to say about Susan Sarandon?
Following The Devil Wears Prada alongside Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt became one of the most renowned names in Hollywood. Streep praised her as one of the best co-stars she has worked with. However, the actress could not hold her success streak as she starred in Irresistible following the 2006 hit.
Irresistible starred Emily Blunt alongside Sam Neill and Susan Sarandon in a mystery drama backdrop. Although the film turned out to be a massive letdown and ended up with an underwhelming response, it gave Blunt one of her best co-stars, whom she described as a ‘force of nature’. As per IMDb, the 40-year-old actress said:
“She’s just a force of nature. Amazing to work with. We just had such a laugh. And, she’s frighteningly smart.”
Susan Sarandon is one of the bonafide stars in the industry. Her career has been graced with numerous prestigious awards and hits. The Oscar-winning actress has been part of notable projects like Dead Man Walking, Atlantic City, and Thelma & Louise.
Blunt will co-star Ryan Gosling in the upcoming The Fall Guy, and it will be exciting to see how their chemistry unfolds in the movie. Earlier, she also co-starred Dwayne Johnson in Jungle Cruise and Cillian Murphy in the critically acclaimed Oppenheimer.
How was Emily Blunt’s experience with Cillian Murphy in Oppenheimer?
Emily Blunt gave a phenomenal performance as Kitty in the latest Christopher Nolan flick. The film, based on the life of the Father of the Atomic Bomb, had some brilliant performances, and Blunt’s was undoubtedly one of them. But quite funnily enough, Blunt has also described that she was lost in Murphy’s blue eyes during the filming of Oppenheimer.
Cillian Murphy‘s blue eyes often attract several audiences, including his co-stars. Both Matt Damon and Emily Blunt could not stop praising their beauty. While Damon was of the notion that “sometimes you find yourself just swimming in his eyes”, the Kitty Oppenheimer actress said, “It’s like that ‘Ocean Eyes’ song by Billie Eilish. We just hum it all day.” (via People)
Later, Blunt also appreciated the Peaky Blinders actor’s monumental skills in the titular role of the Nolan flick. She spoke to NBC that she had a different experience while working with Murphy. It was due to the actor’s skills to transport the people around him. He always tries to do it differently than the script, and it never fails to impress his co-stars.
