John Krasinski’s Kids Think Emily Blunt Married Him “Out Of Charity” Because They’re Convinced He Works In An Office

For any child, understanding what your parents do for a living can be a little tricky — no less for kids whose parents’ jobs involve being super famous.

And it sounds like John Krasinski is learning this the hard way, explaining during an appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert that his kids are having a difficult time coming to terms with his job as an actor.

For those who don’t know, John and his wife, Emily Blunt, share two daughters: 8-year-old Hazel and 6-year-old Violet.

Discussing dad life, John said the girls were super impressed by their mom’s performance in Mary Poppins Returns in 2018, explaining that it gave Emily a “head start” in the all-important Which Parent Is Cooler competition.

So, knowing that their mom is a major movie star, Hazel and Violet apparently weren’t quite so enthusiastic about their dad’s projects — namely The Office.
