Emily Blunt appeared alongside Tom Cruise in 2014 movie 'Edge of Tomorrow'.
Actor Emily Blunt recently claimed that her comments about Tom Cruise telling her to "stop being such a p***y" were taken "literally and absurdly out of context".
According to several media outlets, Emily, in a new episode of 'SmartLess' podcast, shared a conversation she had with Tom Cruise when they were filming 2014's 'Edge of Tomorrow'. She revealed that she had difficulty getting through the shoot and Cruise told her,"'Come on, stop being such a p***y, OK?'" "And I did laugh, and then we got through it," she added.
Now, speaking to People magazine, Emily said her remarks were "taken literally and absurdly out of context" by some media outlets and fans. "I absolutely adore Tom, he's a dear friend and he was a total gem to me. It was said as a joke to make me laugh, which it did in a big way," she told the magazine.
"It's ludicrous that it's being spun as something that offended me. It didn't. I shared the story as lightheartedly as it was meant by Tom. And it's still something we laugh about to this day," she added.

Emily Blunt also shared that her co-star's straightforward advice for her approach to the movie came after she confessed her nerves over the production to him.
