Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci Walk of Fame Stars
Blunt and Tucci’s stars are in the category of Motion Pictures.
“The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is proud to welcome Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. A double star ceremony like this is rare, and it feels especially meaningful to honor two artists whose work and friendship have resonated so deeply with audiences around the world,” stated Ana Martinez, Walk of Fame Producer. “Emily and Stanley have each built amazing careers on their own, but there is a special bond they have as stars of both Devil Wears Prada films. Celebrating them together on the Walk of Fame will be a moment that reflects both their individual achievements and the genuine connection they share.”
Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon, Dwayne Johnson, and Meryl Streep were guest speakers at the ceremony.
“It’s very difficult to sum up just how meaningful this is to me, and the juggernauts that showed up to speak about me has just blown my hair back. You guys, and the great loves of my life who are all here, have made life such a deep privilege,” said Blunt. “I’m so honored to share it with the [Tucci] and my beautiful husband and my beautiful sister and our beautiful kids. It’s just made life heaven. This moment is no exception.” (via Yahoo)
“I’d like to thank my sister, who is here; my incredible wife; my brother-in-law, John; and what’s her name, whom I absolutely love and adored from the moment I met her when she was 22, when we first made The Devil Wears Prada,” Tucci joked. He married Blunt’s sister, Felicity, in 2011 after connecting at Blunt and John Krasinski’s wedding. “It has been an honor and absolutely exhausting to be a part of Hollywood for 45 years, but I wouldn’t have traded it for the world.”
Streep, who starred in The Devil Wears Prada and the sequel with Blunt and Tucci, said in her speech, “Emily, I feel like I birthed you, really. I’m so proud of you. I can’t wait to work with you again, and the best thing about you getting this at such a tender age is that we’ll have you to kick around for at least 35 years, if my career is any evidence, and I’m just in love with you like everybody else.”
About Tucci, she said, “You can’t even call Stanley a national treasure anymore because I’ve just been around the world, and truly, the affection hurled at him globally, he’s just marinating in it. … It’s impossible not to love Stanley Tucci. Urbane, sly, funny, bitchy and generous and curious, and so elegant.”
“I’ve known you longer as a friend than as a scene partner, and we’ve been through some rough times together and some great times,” she added. “And I love you deeply.”
The stars are located at 6930 Hollywood Blvd.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is now in theaters.
