“John and Emily were married on Saturday in a private ceremony,” Krasinski’s rep tells Us. Blunt wore a custom cream chiffon sweetheart draped Marchesa gown with embroidered detail.
“It was an outdoor ceremony and absolutely beautiful,” says an insider. George Clooney and Italian girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis were in attendance; Blunt and Krasinski had been staying at Clooney’s nearby Lake Como estate since the July 4th weekend.
When the opportunity to star in the romantic-comedy It’s Complicated presented itself, John Krasinski was all over it. The fact that Director Nancy Meyers personally asked for Krasinski was an ego boost to begin with, but once he heard who the lead actors were, the deal was sealed.
NEW YORK — “He’s so cute,” says Steve Martin. “He’s so great,” says Meryl Streep.
Little do they realize that the cute and great John Krasinski is so close to stealing every scene he has in It’s Complicated, a comedy out Dec. 25 about a divorced couple having a torrid affair.
Krasinski, 30, best known as prankster Jim on TV’s The Office, found himself in heady company as Harley, Streep and Alec Baldwin’s future son-in-law. His character inadvertently spies the hot-to-trot ex-spouses smooching in a hotel elevator before they head upstairs for a quickie.
Harley’s all-too-human reactions — first disbelief, then mild hysteria, then nerve-racked guilt as he attempts to keep his unwanted knowledge a secret from his fiancée and her siblings — are pitch-perfect crowd-pleasers.
“Without John, there wouldn’t be half as much fun,” says filmmaker Nancy Meyers. “He speaks for the audience because we’re watching all this and going, ‘Oh, God. No way.’ He is one of us.”
