Speaking exclusively to PEOPLE at the world premiere ofThe Fall Guyat SXSW in Austin on Tuesday, Blunt, 41, shared how she was able to lean on her husband’s life experiences to play director Jody Moreno in the movie.
“I liked her eccentricity, I liked her humanity. She was fun to me. I just loved her,“ she adds. “I like that we didn’t do the sort of earnest, serious director. I was keen to show somebody in a situation where she was way over her head and yet she’s incredible and talented.”

“They were glowing. They just adored it,” she tells of her parents. “And I think, everyone sees the red carpet pictures and it all just looks so slick and like such a spectacle, but they got to see the chaos that goes on and the three days that lead up to getting you red carpet ready.”
“It was wonderful for them,” she adds. “They got to meet so many of my friends in the industry and they’re fun. They stayed out till midnight.”
Blunt attended her first Oscars ceremony as a nominee after she was recognized for her supporting performance in the evening’s Best Picture winnerOppenheimer.
She also appeared alongside Gosling, 43, at the Oscars telecast togetherto present a tribute to stunt performers. “I’m just happy we can finally put thisBarbenheimerrivalry behind us," Gosling joked onstage.
Blunt noted it wasn’t much of a rivalry givenOppenheimer’s victories at the Oscars and beyond. “I think I’ve figured out why they called it Barbenheimer and didn’t call it Oppenbarbie,” Gosling responded. “You guys are at the tail end of it because you were riding Barbie’s coattails all summer.”
“Thanks for Ken-splaining that to me, Mr. I-need-to-paint-my-abs-on-to-get-nominated — you don’t seeRobert Downey Jr.doing that,” Blunt joked.
The Hollywood stunt community, Gosling continued, has “been such a crucial part of our industry since the beginning of cinema.” Blunt called stunt performers “the unsung heroes” of the biz.
