“I don’t know if I have any warm-up rituals. Lin likes to play trust games,” Blunt jokes, with Miranda bursting into laughter.
“Yes, I’m just constantly trust-falling into Emily’s arms,” he plays along.
And when it comes to Blunt’s favorite song, she chooses a soon-to-be classic that introduces the movie’s magic.
“I would say “Can You Imagine That?” because she’s really introducing the idea that anything is possible, and she does it in such a way that sneaks up on the kids,” she explains. “So something as mundane as a bath can become something extraordinary.”
