How did Emily Blunt and John Krasinski meet?

Emily Blunt and John Krasinski first met in 2008 at a restaurant. Emily described the way she met John as a “sad, lame story” when she appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers in 2018.

“I was in a restaurant, [John] was in the restaurant. I was sitting with a mutual friend… and my friend, Gray goes, ‘Oh my God, that’s my friend John,’ and that was it. [John] was sitting with our friend, Justin Theroux and he abandoned Justin and came over to us. He just stood there and made me laugh.”

Shortly after their encounter at this restaurant in 2008, Emily and John went on their first date. But it wasn’t the standard dinner and a movie; John took Emily to a shooting range. An odd choice but The Office star explained why when he appeared on Conan O’Brien in 2012.

“On our first date, I decided, ‘I’m gonna really hit the gas and bring her to a gun range. I think that I was so sure that I would never end up with her… that I was like, ‘You know what, I’m gonna blow it right away and then that way you don’t feel bad,’” John said.
