'It's ludicrous': Emily Blunt SLAMS publications for 'absurdly' taking her comments on Tom Cruise 'out of context'

'Top Gun: Maverick' Review: Tom Cruise delivers an exhilarating sequel filled with nostalgia

However, a lot of media outlets and people started slamming Cruise for cursing the actress even when she was going through such a rough time. The matter became so big that Blunt has now released a statement slamming the publications that took her comments in the most “absurd” way ever.

In a statement given to People Magazine, the comments made by ‘The English’ star were “taken literally and absurdly out of context” by some media outlets and fans. Blunt also shared that she “adores” Tom Cruise and he said those words only to “make her laugh.” She added, “It's ludicrous that it's being spun as something that offended me. It didn't. I shared the story as light-heartedly as it was meant by Tom. And it's still something we laugh about to this day.”

This is not the first time Blunt opened up about the difficulties she faced while filming ‘Edge of Tomorrow’ and the injuries she endured on her ribs and collarbone while doing the stunts in the action flick.

‘Edge of Tomorrow’ turned out to be a huge hit for both stars and received universal acclaim from critics as well as audiences. The movie was a commercial success as well earning more than $370 million globally and garnered praise for the plot, direction, action sequences, and performances.

There were a lot of talks of a sequel and it was revealed that Blunt and Cruise will return for the second movie. However, the movie hasn’t gone into production for far too long, making fans believe that it might not happen. Meanwhile, in February 2022, it was reported that Warner Bros. had been developing a television series spin-off of the film with intentions to release the show exclusively on HBO Max.

However, there’s no update for that as well.
