Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci honored with Hollywood Walk of Fame stars
Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci now have stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
On Thursday, ahead of the theatrical release of "The Devil Wears Prada 2," the two co-stars, who are also in-laws in real life, were honored in a ceremony on Hollywood Boulevard with side-by-side stars.
In a speech, Blunt said she was "so honored" to share the space with Tucci, adding that the pair "spend far too much time together" already.
"Now we're gonna spend even more time together as people trample over us, but that's fine," she added. "I love you so much, and I'm so honored to be here with you."
Tucci added in his speech that he "love and adored" Blunt the moment he met her when they worked on the first "Devil Wears Prada" film more than two decades ago.
"It has been an honor and absolutely exhausting to be a part of Hollywood for 45 years," Tucci joked. "But I would have never traded it for the world."
Earlier in the week, Tucci and Blunt spoke about their familial relationship on "Good Morning America." Tucci, who married Blunt's sister, literary agent Felicity Blunt, in 2012, said Emily Blunt is like his "parasitic twin."
"We are so over-related now," the actress added. "We spend way too much time together, and now we're doing a press tour together."
The duo's "Devil Wears Prada 2" co-star Meryl Streep was also in attendance at Thursday's Walk of Fame ceremony and delivered a hilarious speech in their honor.
She began by speaking to Blunt, saying, "Emily, I feel like I birthed you, really. I'm so proud of you."
"I can't wait to work with you again," she continued. "And the best thing about you getting this at such a tender age is that we'll have you to kick around for at least 35 years, if my career is any evidence, and I'm just in love with you, just like everybody else."
Streep then turned her attention to Tucci, saying, "You can't even call Stanley a national treasure anymore, because I've just been around the world, and truly, the affection hurled at him globally, he's just marinating in it, and it's impossible not to love Stanley Tucci."
She called the actor and producer "generous, curious and so elegant."
Streep ended her message to Tucci by saying, "I've known you longer as a friend than as a scene partner. And we've been through some tough times together and some great times, and I love you deeply."
"The Devil Wears Prada 2" also stars Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs. The sequel, set 20 years after the first, picks up with Andy returning to Runway Magazine to work with her former boss, Miranda Priestly (Streep), and Nigel (Tucci), Runway's art director. She also reunites with Miranda's former senior assistant, Emily (Blunt).
Also honoring Blunt and Tucci on Thursday were Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr. and Dwayne Johnson.
Blunt's husband John Krasinski and Tucci's wife Felicity Blunt were also in attendance.
"The Devil Wears Prada 2" hits theaters May 1.
20th Century Studios is owned by The Walt Disney Co., the parent company of ABC News.
