Krasinski went from The Office nice guy to Navy SEAL for new film 13 Hours, while Blunt transformed her physique to play an avenging angel in Edge of Tomorrow and a drug agent in Sicario 

Krasinski had checked with Blunt in a post-shower bathroom discussion during his arduous physical training to play a former Navy SEAL in 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi. Blunt made it very clear she likes the buffness.

“I said to Emily, ‘Do you like me better like ...’ I couldn't even get the last word ‘this’ out. She just said, ‘Yes, definitely,’ ” Krasinski says. “That's the truth.”

How could she not love it? Besides the obvious towel appeal at home, Krasinski’s metamorphosis from The Office nice guy to special-ops badness have made the duo the most lethal couple in Hollywood.

Blunt speaks from personal experience, having made a radical transformation from 2006’s The Devil Wears Prada to an avenging angel in 2014’s Edge of Tomorrow (not to mention as a drug task force agent in 2015’s Sicario and a dangerous queen in the upcoming The Huntsman: Winter’s War).

Krasinski calls Blunt's fight training and physique “inspiring”.

“She got buffer first and many more times than I have,” he says. “I just followed her lead when I got the chance. I saw what it took to get there through her.”
