Emily Blunt turns down ‘explicit’ role opposite Russell Brand

Washington, May 18: Actress Emily Blunt has pulled out of a film in which she was paired opposite British comic Russell Brand, as the sex scenes between the duo were too explicit.

The ‘Devil Wears Prada’ star was to play Brand`s love interest in ‘Get Him To The Greek’, which is currently being filmed in Las Vegas. However, according to Britain`s Mail on Sunday newspaper, the 26-year-old actress was scared that the intimate love scenes could tarnish her reputation and thus turned down the role. "Emily provisionally agreed to play a sex-crazed pop singer who beds Brand’s character. But then she got cold feet and pulled out,” Contactmusic quoted a source as telling the publication. The source added, “She’s no prude but the stumbling block was that her character had far too many explicit love scenes." ANI
