John Krasinski became emotional as Emily Blunt received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on April 30, celebrating the actress alongside Stanley Tucci, family members, and famous friends as “The Devil Wears Prada 2” continues its major box office success.

John Krasinski proudly supported wife Emily Blunt as she reached another milestone in her Hollywood career.

Blunt was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on April 30, 2026, during a ceremony that also celebrated her brother-in-law and longtime collaborator Stanley Tucci. The event brought together family members and close friends, turning the occasion into a star-filled tribute to both actors and their careers.

Speaking exclusively to E! News’ Will Marfuggi, Krasinski admitted the ceremony left him emotional throughout the day.

“It was very moving for them. Certainly moving for me,” the actor said. “I cry at anything, so I was tearing up the whole time.”

A Family Celebration in Hollywood

The ceremony became a family affair for the Blunt and Tucci families.

Stanley Tucci attended the event with wife Felicity Blunt, who is Emily Blunt’s sister. The couple has been married for more than 13 years. Krasinski and Blunt, who tied the knot in 2010, also attended together as they celebrated the actress’s latest accomplishment.

Several major Hollywood names appeared at the event to honor the stars. Meryl Streep, Dwayne Johnson, and Matt Damon all delivered speeches during the ceremony, reflecting on their relationships and professional connections with Blunt and Tucci.

Krasinski later described the atmosphere as something reminiscent of classic Hollywood.

Ceremonies like the Walk of Fame celebration seem increasingly rare in the entertainment industry today, and Krasinski said being there made him feel the "old Hollywood vibe."

The actor has frequently spoken publicly about his admiration for his wife’s work, but he made it clear that his support extends beyond their personal relationship. According to Krasinski, he remains one of Blunt’s biggest fans when it comes to her acting career and film projects.

The couple shares daughters Hazel, 12, and Violet, 9, and have been married for 16 years.

'The Devil Wears Prada 2' Becomes a Massive Hit

Blunt’s Hollywood honor comes during a major professional moment for the actress following the success of “The Devil Wears Prada 2.”

The sequel to the beloved 2006 film premiered on May 1 and has already become a major global success. According to Variety, the movie has earned an estimated $433 million worldwide since its release.

The film reunites Blunt with original stars Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway nearly 20 years after the first movie debuted. David Frankel returned to direct the sequel, which revisits the fashion world and the characters made famous in the original film.

Industry reports suggest the movie has also become financially rewarding for its leading stars.

Blunt, Hathaway, and Streep reportedly negotiated equal salaries for the sequel, with each actress earning at least $12.5 million upfront for the project. According to two additional sources cited by Variety, the trio also secured agreements for box office bonuses tied to the film’s commercial performance.

If the sequel continues its strong theatrical run, the actresses could reportedly receive an additional $20 million each.

Hollywood Stars Rally Around Blunt and Tucci

The event also highlighted the deep connections both Blunt and Tucci have formed throughout their careers.

Meryl Streep’s appearance held particular significance given her long professional history with both actors, especially through “The Devil Wears Prada.” Meanwhile, Dwayne Johnson has previously worked with Blunt and often praised her professionalism and talent during interviews promoting their films together.

Matt Damon also joined the list of speakers honoring the pair, adding another major Hollywood name to the celebration.

The ceremony ultimately became more than just a recognition of individual accomplishments. It also served as a reflection of the relationships and collaborations Blunt and Tucci have built over the years in the entertainment industry.

For fans, the event offered a rare look at a close-knit Hollywood gathering centered around family, friendship, and professional respect.

A Milestone Moment for Emily Blunt

Receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame marked another defining milestone for Blunt as she continues one of the most successful stretches of her career.

Between the box office performance of “The Devil Wears Prada 2” and the emotional ceremony attended by family and friends, the actress had multiple reasons to celebrate.

Krasinski’s heartfelt reaction also underscored how important the moment was for those closest to her.

While Blunt’s latest film continues to dominate theaters worldwide, the Walk of Fame ceremony offered a more personal moment amid the excitement surrounding the sequel’s release.

For the actress and her family, it became a celebration not only of recent success, but of a career that continues to reach new heights.
