After she read the completed script, Blunt told Krasinski he couldnt let anyone but her play the role.
It is the greatest compliment of my entire career, he says with a smile.
The couple had always been interested, if slightly wary, about working together.

All the seeds John planted they didnt miss anything, says Blunt of the audience they sat in with.
The gasping, the laughing, the cheering it was amazing.
This is a surreal moment for sure.

The fact that we get to share it is wild.
You just dont know, you know?
Which is not to say it was sunbeams and rainbows the whole time.
It was so new to us, we hadnt had that before.
We discovered different sides to each other that go beyond us being a married couple.
Rob is so sweet to me.
KRASINSKI:He was dead right.
Id forget she was my wife which is hard to do because shes justthatgood.
Youre like, Isthere a next take?
I think it helped that we had so many discussions about character before shooting.
BLUNT:A lot of strange dinner conversations.
Over a lot of whiskey.
Theyre the most loving, giving, and prepared, soulful pair.
Honestly, every night wed go to bed and say, Thank God for those kids.
KRASINSKI:Its true.
Everyone always says working with kids slows your day down.
Not only are they incredible actors, but people, too.
There were a lot of tears on the last days.
Those kids bonded in a way Ive never seen theyre soul mates.
At SXSW, I turned to watch them teasing each other in sign language.
Millicent was so open and kind, and watching her and her mother gave me a lot of inspiration.
We really, really do.
I dont have to be the lead!
[Laughs]
KRASINSKI:Its definitely going to be hard to top this.
