The Story Behind That Time John Krasinski Got Roasted By A Customs Agent Who Found Out He’d Married Emily Blunt: ‘You?!’

by

The bond between Hollywood celebrities often sparks a range of reactions among the public. A case in point is John Krasinski, who experienced a bit of teasing while passing through customs when traveling to visit his wife Emily Blunt. What caught him off guard was the good-natured banter from the customs officer upon learning that the man behind Mary Poppins was married to Krasinski himself. Quite an amusing story indeed!

On the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, the director shared an amusing incident involving Emily Blunt, which arose when Jimmy mentioned her name. The Jack Ryan star, John Krasinski, responded to the crowd’s reaction by jesting that he had married above his station. This was followed by the Office alum roasting an airport officer about Emily Blunt, reaffirming his feelings about her name being brought up. Both were working on separate projects, but Krasinski could frequently visit his wife. However, things weren’t always smooth sailing; he often encountered a particular customs agent.

In a chat with Jimmy Fallon (available on YouTube), the 45-year-old actor-director talked about the life-changing day when his usual long commute took an unexpected turn.

Then I encountered a man roughly my age, and he seemed on the verge of becoming confrontational towards me. He asked, “Is it true that you’re an actor?” To which I replied, “Yes.” He then inquired, “Have I seen you in anything before?” I responded, “Perhaps you recognize me from the British remake of The Office.” At this, he retorted, “That’s a strike against you.” He added, “I thought we had it perfect.

The ongoing debate between UK and US offices, a topic that’s been around for quite some time, shows no signs of abating, given the continuous updates. It’s clear that John Krasinski anticipated a significant moment from their initial discussion. During their conversation about the popular sitcom, the subject veered towards Krasinski’s travel motive, which then led to an intriguing twist in their dialogue.

He asked, “Who are you here with?” I replied, “My wife.” To which he inquired, “Is she a actress?” I confirmed, “Yes.” He then wondered, “Have I heard of her?” I wasn’t sure, so I mentioned, “Her name is Emily Blunt.

It’s not hard to predict where this conversation might lead – a brief, unsuspecting roast of John Krasinski. As the officer grasped the meaning behind Krasinski’s words, the discussion took an abrupt turn, and the question was promptly concluded just as swiftly as it started.

He raises his eyes and asks, “You?” To which I replied, “Yes.” Then he queries, “Are you the husband of Emily Blunt?” Again, I confirm, “Yes.” He then mimics a strong passport stamp and says, “Alright, move along. Just go.” It was quite forceful. I apologized, saying, “I’m really sorry.

It’s quite unexpected and amusing how roles have switched between Emily Blunt and her husband! While Emily has been a prominent actress since the 2000s, it’s John Krasinski who’s gaining recognition as a director lately. In an interesting twist, the tables were turned in their A-list marriage when Blunt used Krasinski’s directing credits to secure her role as an “aspiring director” in 2024’s The Fall Guy. Interestingly enough, she’s still often asked about being married to the man who portrayed Jim Halpert on The Office, suggesting that their fame is now more balanced.

It appears that the comedic duo from a married couple is set to feature in the film lineup of 2025. Krasinski will make his appearance as the exciting Tom Clancy character later this year in the upcoming Jack Ryan movie. Concurrently, Blunt has been cast in The Smashing Machine, an A24 film that tells a dramatic story about wrestling biography.

It appears that the instances of John Krasinski being harshly questioned by customs officials have come to an end. Despite the past incident where he faced criticism, he remains lucky to be with Emily Blunt.
