Emily Blunt ‘told stop being a p***y’ by Tom Cruise while she sobbed on film set

Emily Blunt claims her Hollywood co-star Tom Cruise told her to “stop being such a p***y” while she sobbed on the set of Edge of Tomorrow.

Actress Emily, 39, was emotional after suffering a series of gruesome injuries on set under the weight of a massive mechanical costume.

She said she still suffers from pain in her ribs and collarbone to this day.

But her co-star Tom wasn’t impressed on set of the 2014 blockbuster, and “didn’t know what to do” to help her.

It was tough love in the end, with Tom – who is used to doing his own stunts – offering the harsh words to Emily.

The pair portrayed a pair tasked with saving the world after being caught in a time loop in the sci-fi hit, battling a brutal race of alien invaders.

Such hefty foes meant hefty armour, with Emily telling the Smartless podcast: “We had to wear these enormous suits, which I think would’ve been great if we had CGI’d them but we wanted to do it in a tactile way.

“When you hear the word tactile you think that sounds nice and cosy; there was nothing cosy about these suits. It was like 85lb, it was so heavy. The first time I put it on I started to cry and [Tom] didn’t know what to do.”

The actress continued: “He just stared at me and was like, ‘I know, I know. I was like, ‘Tom i’m not sure how I’m going to get through this shoot’ and just started to cry.

“I said, ‘I’m feeling a bit panicky about the whole shoot’.”

Emily said: “He just stared at me for a long time, not knowing what to do, and he goes, ‘Come on, stop being such a p***y, okay?’”

With his tough words of encouragement, Emily was thankfully able to laugh off her worries – but her costume left her ribs and collarbone “dodgy” eight years on from filming.

Emily even required a male stunt double instead of a female due to its excessive weight.

Rumours of a sequel to Edge of Tomorrow have been abounding recently, with the actors confirming they had been previously asked to return but struggled due to their schedules.

But Emily admitted: “I think the movie is too expensive. I just don’t know how we’re going to do it.”
