“And it’s, ‘Will you wake me up? Will you take me to school? Will you pick me up? Will you put me to bed?’ And I just need to be there for all of them for a good stretch. And I just felt that in my bones,” Blunt added.
The British actress shares her two daughters Hazel, 9, and Violet, 7, with her husband, actorJohn Krasinski. The couple celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary on Monday.
Blunt said the projects she worked on last year were “intense” and “time-consuming” and impacted her children as well as herself.
“The ones that are time-consuming I think, for me, are becoming few and further between because of just the emotional cost on me, on the kids, on balance,” she continued.

“We’re like some weird commune,” Blunt told host Bozzi during the appearance, as they discussed her and Krasinski’s tendency to live in close proximity to their friends in the entertainment industry. “Like I don’t ever see Matt Damon not in his slippers anymore, you know. He’s just always in his slippers. I haven’t seen him in regular shoes in a long time.”
“That’s because we live in the same building, so we just pop down to see each other,” she added, noting that she, Krasinski, 43, Damon and Barroso grew close after filming 2011’sThe Adjustment Bureautogether. “It’s the best.”
