Emily Blunt: ‘Benicio del Toro is a Teddy Bear’

Posted by Adam

Emily BluntEMILY Blunt loved working with Benicio del Toro — because despite is image as a Hollywood hardman, the actor’s actually a big softie!

The British actress stars opposite del Toro in new movie The Wolfman, and insists his reputation as a tough guy is just an act.

“Benicio is awesome to work with,” said Blunt. “He’s a great guy. We had a laugh on the movie. He’s a lot of fun.

“He’s a big teddy bear. People don’t know that. He doesn’t like people knowing that.”

Emily recently revealed how Benicio pulled down her skirt while they filmed a scene for the movie.

“During the scene where the Wolfman jumps on me and Hugo Weaving and I have to get up, he actually yanked my entire skirt down as I was trying to get up. It was embarrassing,” she said earlier this month.

“That was probably the hardest kind of stuff we had to do. I think it’s a combination of that and all the physical parts of those costumes and how restricted they are that is hard.”
