Blunt, 41, was too polite to reveal which co-stars she had not liked kissing but was happy to share details on those that she had enjoyed working with, praising Dwayne Johnson, Robert Downey Jr, Tom Cruise, Matt Damon and Cillian Murphy as great friends.

“I love his wife, Eva. I love their children, and I feel like I’m very lucky to be friends with a gem of a person like him. That’s what I feel,” she said.
