Emily Blunt Says This Celeb Talked Her Out of Being a Pop Star

"I can't write. I can't really sing—no, I'm just kidding," she continued. "They said, ‘I think you have a nice voice and I think that you could be a pop star.' I said, ‘I can't dance.' They said, ‘Don't worry about it. We'll teach you.' It didn't work. I tried to learn."

At the time, the Devil Wears Prada star was still pursuing acting and received some advice from one of her A-list co-stars that helped her make the right decision in the end. 

"I was doing a play…my first job was with Judi Dench—yeah, the Dame—which was incredible and she was wonderful to me," Emily recalled. "And I went to her for advice because I was really, really nervous about this career that I didn't know was right for me—I didn't think was right for me—and she was like, ‘Oh no, darling. You can't do both. You can't act and do that.' She talked me out of it."
