Robert Downey Jr. steals show with Emily Blunt tribute

Robert Downey Jr. made waves with a witty tribute to Emily Blunt and her husband John Krasinski in latest appearance.

The Avengers: Doomsday star joined the Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony honoring Blunt and Stanley Tucci on Thursday, April 30.

As per clip shared by E!News, he started his speech with a cheeky jab at Stanley Tucci before shifting focus to Blunt, saying , “Tucci, by the way, congrats to you. Now, let me lay into your girl.” 

“Emily is an outright blunt object. She is the girlfriend you never had in high school. She's the scene partner you will never forget, and she's the wife you can't resent Krasinski for landing because he's equally dynamic and this guy's impossible not to love,” the actor said.

“And I honestly think that this self-protective feature of their matrimony couldn't have been planned, but it just works a treat and preserves itself.”

Meanwhile, Downey Jr. continued his praise with more wordplay, adding, “She's a blunt instrument of calm, professional hilarity. We survived [Christopher] Nolan together,” he mentioned.

“Sophisticated empathy, deep understanding, essentially, she's a blunt force.”

For the unversed, Blunt and Krasinski, who first met in 2008, announced their engagement in 2009, and married in 2010. They have two daughters, Hazel and Violet.
