<p>Hollywood star Emily Blunt credited <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tom-cruise">Tom Cruise&#8217;s</a> non-PC advice with helping her get through filming the role of an action star in their 2014 sci-fi thriller hit &#8220;Edge of Tomorrow.&#8221;</p>
<p>During the 39-year-old actress&#8217;s recent appearance on the &#8220;Smartless&#8221; <a href="https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9yc3MuYXJ0MTkuY29tL3NtYXJ0bGVzcw/episode/Z2lkOi8vYXJ0MTktZXBpc29kZS1sb2NhdG9yL1YwLzFVRUItU0NKVWZEdTZqS1hKSmg2eGszV0ZTbElqV01Cbllkb09TZHY1eFU?hl=en&amp;ved=2ahUKEwity5mK7_T7AhV_MUQIHXUBAr0QieUEegQIChAF&amp;ep=6">podcast</a> with Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and Sean Hayes, Blunt talked about the challenges of the role, including acting while wearing a suit that weighed 85 pounds.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was my first foray into action, and as Tom [Cruise] said, rather unreassuringly when we started it, he goes, &#8216;This is the deep end of action for me.&#8217; And I was like, if you&#8217;re saying that, then we are in trouble,&#8221; Blunt shared.</p>
<p>&#8220;We had to wear these really enormous robotic suits, which I think it would have been great if they could have CGI&#8217;ed them, but we wanted to do it practically and in a tactile way,&#8221; she added. &#8220;When you hear the word tactile, you&#8217;re like, that sounds nice and cozy. There was nothing cozy about wearing these suits.&#8221;</p>

<p>The &#8220;Jungle Cruise&#8221; star said the 85-pound suit, &#8220;was so heavy that the first time I put it on, I just started to cry in front of Tom.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;He just stared at me and was like, &#8216;I know, I know,&#8217; and I was like, &#8216;I&#8217;m not sure how I&#8217;m going to get through this shoot,&#8217; and I started to cry,&#8221; Blunt admitted. &#8220;I was like, &#8216;I&#8217;m just feeling a bit panicky about the whole shoot.'&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;He literally goes, he stared at me for a long time not knowing what to do, and he goes, &#8216;Come on, stop being such a p***y, OK?'&#8221; she added. &#8220;And I did laugh, and then we got through it. But the training was intense.&#8221;</p>
<p>When asked recently about the possibility of a sequel <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2567443/why-edge-of-tomorrow-2-might-not-happen-anymore-emily-blunt-tom-cruise-doug-liman">Blunt said</a> she would love to, but everyone&#8217;s schedules probably won&#8217;t allow for it.</p>
<p>&#8220;I would love it,&#8221; the actress shared. &#8220;[Director] Doug Liman would love it. Tom would love it. We&#8217;d all love to do it, but I think until we figure out what&#8217;s going on with the industry – honestly, I think we need to figure out what is the next road map for the kinds of films that people want to make.&#8221;</p>
