John Krasinski’s Kids Think Emily Blunt Married Him “Out Of Charity” Because They’re Convinced He Works In An Office
For any child, understanding what your parents do for a living can be a little tricky — no less for kids whose parents’ jobs involve being super famous.
Samir Hussein / Samir Hussein / WireImageSo, knowing that their mom is a major movie star, Hazel and Violet apparently weren’t quite so enthusiastic about their dad’s projects — namely The Office.
Nbc / NBCUniversal via Getty ImagesJohn starred in the comedy series as Jim Halpert, and despite it being one of his best-loved roles, it sounds like the show’s success has presented a number of complications in his personal life.
Nbc / NBCUniversal via Getty ImagesFor example, he explained that when fans approach him on the street and say they know him from The Office, it can be confusing for his kids to understand that they’re not talking about his actual workplace.
Mike Coppola / Getty Images“I was walking them to school one day and this guy came up and he went, ‘John! From The Office!’” he recalled during the interview. “He went, ‘Oh my god, it’s so good to see you!’ And I said, ‘Thanks.’ And we kept walking.”
youtu.beHaving listened in on the exchange, his daughter proceeded to ask if the guy was someone he worked with, to which John answered “no.” However, his response didn’t quite cut it.
youtu.be“She goes, ‘Why are you lying to me? … He just said he knows you from the office?’” John said.
Nbc / NBCUniversal via Getty ImagesThanks to interactions like these, the actor said his kids are now convinced that he works an average 9-to-5, and that their movie star mom made the decision to settle down with a regular guy.
Rich Fury / Getty Images“My kids thought that she had married me out of charity, like, ‘You’re so nice to marry an accountant! That’s so nice of you,’” he joked. “‘Cause they don’t know what I do.”
Lester Cohen / WireImageBut, funnily enough, it sounds like the girls’ discontent with The Office isn’t for lack of trying.
Nbc / NBCUniversal via Getty ImagesAfter Hazel and Violet recently showed a vague interest in the show’s existence, John revealed that he and Emily made the big decision to let them watch a few episodes.
Jamie Mccarthy / Getty Images for Writers Guild of America, East“We were driving and from the backseat I heard, ‘So, what’s the deal with this Office thing?’ And I was like, ‘OK, it’s a big question. We’ll cut it down into bite-size morsels,’” he said.
Christopher PolkNaturally, Emily suggested that they start with the Pilot, and as they did, the girls were taken aback — not by their dad’s performance — but by how much they hated Steve Carrell’s character.
Nbc / NBCUniversal via Getty Images“They were watching the first episode and my oldest — turns out she’s a screen talker-ater — she’s talking to the screen,” he said. “And so when Steve fired Jenna [Fischer] she goes, ‘What are you doing? You’re a horrible person!’”
Nbc / NBCUniversal via Getty ImagesAs for his youngest, Violet was able to recognize the familiar-looking man onscreen and decided to do some investigating.
Matt Winkelmeyer / Getty Images“My 6-year-old kept asking, ‘Is that you?’ And I said, ‘Yeah, it is,’” he remembered.
youtu.beViolet couldn’t help but point out how different he looked, and ultimately, came to the conclusion that it couldn’t possibly be her dad on the screen.
Nbc / NBCUniversal via Getty Images“I said, ‘That’s me, I’m just playing a character,’ and she said, ‘That’s not you,’” he laughed.
youtu.beAnd despite enjoying Mary Poppins, it seems like the girls’ general lack of interest in their parents’ fame applies to both mom and dad, with Emily revealing a few weeks ago that Hazel and Violet have absolutely no desire to become fans of their work.
Axelle / FilmMagic“They don’t really want to watch us onscreen,” she told E! News last month. “They’ve got that ownership of us as parents. It’s not— they’re not like running to see me in a movie, which keeps you humble.”
Taylor Hill / FilmMagicWell, if there’s one thing about kids, it’s that they certainly keep you grounded.
