John Krasinski has brilliant reply to Amy Schumer’s joke about his ‘fake marriage’ to Emily Blunt
John Krasinski had the perfect comeback to Amy Schumer’s gag that his marriage to Emily Blunt is a ‘publicity stunt’.
The comedian showered John’s film A Quiet Place Part II, in which he directed his wife, with praise in a now-deleted Instagram post urging people to go and see it on the big screen.
Amy said: ‘I have loved every second of @aquietplacemovie even better than the first one which blew me away. Amazing to be in a movie theatre!!
‘I’ve said for a long time I think Emily and John have a pretend marriage for publicity. But I still think you should see it this rainy weekend.’
The director popped up in the comments quipping that Amy had let the cat out of the bag.
He wrote: ‘Thank you Amy!…for blowing up our whole marriage spot.’
John and Emily have been married since 2010 and share daughters Hazel, seven, and Violet, four.
The Edge of Tomorrow actress starred in the first A Quiet Place film, in 2018, about a family forced to live in silence to avoid being hunted by monsters with super sensitive hearing.
The official synopsis for the sequel reads: ‘Following the deadly events at home, the Abbott family (Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, Noah Jupe) must now face the terrors of the outside world as they continue their fight for survival in silence.

‘Forced to venture into the unknown, they quickly realise that the creatures that hunt by sound are not the only threats that lurk beyond the sand path.’
Part II opened in the US to record-breaking box office numbers, netting $19.3million (£13.6m) on Friday alone – the highest recorded numbers since the Covid-19 pandemic began.
Metro.co.uk gave the film four stars, praising its ‘scares, suspense and silence, with some truly heart-stopping moments’.
