We've all thought it, and now Emily Blunt is saying it. Being healthy all the time is a total bore.

In an interview published in The Sunday Times Style yesterday, Emily explodes the myth that actresses are all about diets.

“Not true,” she says. “I think that’s your choice. Obviously, if I’m doing a part where I need to be in really good shape, I can’t eat this [she points to her enormous fried fish sandwiches].

“But I’m about to play an alcoholic so we’re good. And I’m specific about when I choose to be healthy and when I’m not, because it’s so dull to be healthy all the time.

“Do you know Elizabeth Taylor said on her deathbed, ‘I wish I’d eaten more.’ Don’t you think a lot of people would feel that? Certainly a lot of actresses?”

“I see myself in Edge of Tomorrow and I’m like, ‘Now that is ripped,’” she says of the 2014 film for which she had to “bulk up”. While she admits that it felt good at time, she says, “but I don’t feel very feminine. I don’t enjoy being ripped like that.”

When asked about the sequel she said “the thought of the gym again makes me want to cry.”
