Biografia

Stuttered severely as a young girl and ultimately overcame her problem by finding a different 'voice' (acting). Cites friend Colin Firth's stammering King George VI in the O Discurso do Rei (2010) as an accurate depiction of how she actually spoke as a youth.

She was told to lose weight for her role as Emily in O Diabo Veste Prada (2006). She revealed this in a 2006 interview with Craig Ferguson. Co-star Anne Hathaway tells a similar story, and reports that she and Emily were always hungry on-set due to being kept on strict diets to maintain the rail-thin "super-model" look.

Is a strong alto singer.

Sister-in-law of Stanley Tucci, her co-star in O Diabo Veste Prada (2006). He is married to her sister Felicity Blunt.

Her ex-boyfriend Michael Bublé wrote the hit single "Everything" for her. She is also on his album "Call Me Irresponsible", where she sings briefly at the end of the song "Me and Mrs. Jones".

I'd love to be exciting and say that I was the rebel at school, but sadly I wasn't.

(On her manipulative character in Meu Amor de Verão (2004)) "Whether they like to admit it or not, everyone's got a bit of "Tamsin" in them".

(On being an actress) "You feel very much like a puppet, but it had been what I was accustomed to - so you just get on with it and try to find something that rings true."

(On why she is often cast as the bad-girl) "I have sly eyes. When I was in school they always said, 'Emily can never be elected Head Girl because you never know what she's thinking."

(On Susan Sarandon) "She's just a force of nature. Amazing to work with. We just had such a laugh. And, she's frighteningly smart".
