Emily Blunt wanted to be a boy
December 20th, 2010 - 12:48 am ICT by IANSLondon, Dec 19 (IANS) British actress Emily Blunt says she was “determined” to be a boy when she was younger and thinks it is funny she has been cast as a princess in two movies.The “Young Victoria” actress again plays a princess in her new movie “Gulliver’s Travels” and admits she finds it funny that she is cast in such regal roles because it is a far cry from her childhood ambitions, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
“A princess again! I was never the girl who wanted to be a princess when I was young. I was determined to be a boy when I was younger. I was never a girly girl,” she said.
Blunt also revealed she used to “throw tantrums” if her parents made her dress in pink when she was younger.
“I wanted to be on the soccer team. I wasn’t into Barbie dolls and swore I’d never, ever wear pink. I’d throw tantrums if my mum put me in pink clothes. Not a girlie girl at all,” she said.
