Emily Blunt and Rose Byrne had a warm, reflective conversation with each other during their sit-down for the A24 podcast.
The stars touched upon a variety of topics, including Emily’s recent Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Female actor for her role in The Smashing Machine and Rose’s Best Female Actor (musical or comedy) nomination for If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.

“Today on The A24 Podcast, a certified lovefest between Rose Byrne and Emily Blunt as they go deep into their @goldenglobes nominated performances for If I Had Legs I’d Kick You and The Smashing Machine,” A24 said as they released the episode.
The pair began the conversation by praising each other’s Golden Globe-nominated performances.
“You were so wild, so unhinged, so broken, and it had such a lasting effect on me. It spoke to me on so many levels about maternal pressure,” Emily praised Rose.
The fellow actress returned the favor by saying, “I loved Smashing Machine. [I] thought you guys were extraordinary.”

In If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, Rose plays the character of Linda, a struggling therapist and mother whose life spirals as she navigates an overwhelming mix of parental stress and an absent husband.
Emily, in The Smashing Machine, plays the real-life character of Dawn Staples, the girlfriend of UFC Hall of Famer Mark Kerr (played by Dwayne Johnson).
Netizens couldn’t stop making assumptions about Emily’s face and churned plastic surgery rumors

Shortly after the episode dropped, netizens were quick to jump to assumptions about Emily undergoing cosmetic procedure.
“Emily, why’d you ruin your face?” one asked, while another quipped, “She really does look blunt now.”
“Emily blunt’s plastic surgeon needs to be arrested permanently cause how do you f*** up a face like that,” said one fan.
“Botox vs natural,” read one comment.
“Someone call the authorities, this is a crime against beauty,” read one comment online

“Emily blunt, whatever you got done please get it undone queen please,” another said.
“That surgeon doing her like that is insane.. a makeup artist once told me my face as ‘almost too pretty to touch,’” one said.
Another wrote, “Whoever approved those choices needs their license reviewed IMMEDIATELY.”
The Fall Guy actress previously said Hollywood is “suffocated by plastic surgery”

In the past, Emily spoke against opting for cosmetic procedures and described Hollywood as a place “suffocated by plastic surgery.”
“I appreciate that every line on someone’s face bears a story, and is the result of experience,” she told Women & Home in 2019.
“In Hollywood, people are suffocated by plastic surgery, but striving for an impassive perfection isn’t something I ever found beautiful or have tried to achieve myself,” she added.

The Oppenheimer star felt women lose the “magic” about them when they opt for too many cosmetic enhancements.
“I believe in taking care of your skin and your general health, but women who spend too much time trying to look perfect lose some of the magic about them,” she added.

The actress stars opposite Dwayne Johnson in The Smashing Machine, which tells the real-life story of MMA fighter Mark Kerr (Dwayne) and his partner Dawn Staples (Emily).
Emily said it was “really, really beautiful” to watch Dwayne play the role.
“I think he has the innate vulnerability and humility and eloquence that Mark had. And I think on a personal level, he was so hungry for challenge and to disappear,” she said on Deadline’s Take Tenthis week.

She also spoke in the same interview about her hit film The Devil Wears Prada and how she gained a brother-in-law through the film.
“My brother-in-law, Mr. Stanley Tucci. We would stand outside and laugh and giggle and I just wept with laughter with him,” she said about filming the movie, “and then I took him away as a friend.
“Then he wormed his way into my family and married my sister!” she continued. “He met her at our wedding and thought, ‘This is how I become a Blunt.’”
“You treated me like a complete equal,” Emily gushed with praises over her co-star Anne Hathaway during their Actors on Actors conversation

Emily has often spoken fondly about working on The Devil Wears Prada, including starring alongside leading lady Anne Hathaway.
“Even though you were a colossal movie star at that time, you treated me like a complete equal. You are one of the people I’ve known longest. We’ve known each other for 18 years,” she told Anne during their Actors on Actors conversation in 2023.
“Our relationship is the age of an adult,” Anne quipped, before Emily said she had a “joy b*mb of a time” working on the movie.
“I don’t know if any of us knew it was going to become what it did,” she added. “It’s quoted to me every week. It will be the movie that changed my life.”
Not everyone agrees that something’s wrong though, as a user said that “she still looks fabulous”

I thinks she looks the same. Things like noses and ears change over the years quite naturally - look at the likes of Teri Hatcher and Courtney C0x for example. Nothing to see here.

She just looks a bit older, and maybe had some fillers and Botox over the years, but I think she barely looks any different and looks good! The older photo in the pink dress looks like she’s messed around with her face too much but not anymore.
