Emily Blunt is looking forward to becoming a “gay icon”.
The British actress — who plays a woman caught up in a passionate lesbian love affair in new film Sunshine Clearing — says she can’t wait to reach a new fan base, even if she can’t fully relate to them.
“I’m going to become a gay icon,” the Devil Wears Prada star told British newspaper The Observer. “Have I ever flirted with that side? No, never, but I do remember girl crushes on other girls in your year group at school.
“There are these girls who are magnetic and beautiful and so cool. You just feel yourself shrink in their presence.
“I absolutely remember how powerful 16-and-17-year-old girls can be. I look at them now — my little sister is 18 — and they do seem very grown up.”
“I think [my family] are very proud of me but in the way you’d sort of expect, not in a gushing, obsequious way, but just because I’m their child,” she added. “I think they’re relieved their child is doing well in a business that is known for crushing people.”
