Emily Blunt publicly apologized to Cillian Murphy saying, “Sorry about your cheekbone Cillian." She continued, "Poor Cillian. Chris went, ‘Hit him’. And I was like, ‘I don’t know’. And Cillian was like, ‘Do it, do it’. Chris was like, ‘He’ll be fine . . . do it’. I slapped him then I grabbed him, by the neck really, by the collar."
The Devil Wears Prada actress continued, "I just saw over the course of, like, ten takes that very famous cheekbone became even more prominent — and it’s not even in the movie," per The Sun.
The tension was palpable as they filmed a crucial part of the movie about the American physicist's role in developing nuclear weapons. Blunt's character delivers a powerful line, adding to the complexity of the scene. The tight schedule added pressure, with the cast aware of the diminishing daylight.
Blunt's concern for Murphy extended beyond the set, leading her to gift him a pillow for better sleep during the demanding role. However, Murphy's enthusiastic use of the pillow resulted in an accident, with him smashing his head on a bedside table. Despite the mishap, their friendship endured, with reciprocal gifts at the end of filming.
The co-stars, who share an Oscar nomination for their roles in Oppenheimer, have a strong bond. Blunt praises Murphy as an amazing screen partner, expressing admiration for his mesmerizing performance.

Blunt expresses gratitude for her Oscar nomination, considering it a moving and humbling acknowledgment of her work. Looking ahead, Blunt expressed, “I’ve always wanted to make a movie about one.
