Emily Blunt reveals most fear-inducing stunt in 'Mary Poppins Returns'
What's the story
Oscar-nominated actor Emily Blunt has been a part of several notable action films in her career, but surprisingly, the action scenes in them didn't scare her.
Her most daunting stunt, in fact, was in Disney's 2018 musical drama, Mary Poppins Returns.
In a recent interview, Blunt confessed to PEOPLE that her "entrance" in the film was "very stressful."
The film was directed by Rob Marshall.
Fearful debut
Blunt's nerve-wracking debut in 'Mary Poppins Returns'
Blunt's debut in Mary Poppins Returns was a nerve-wracking experience.
The character's introduction required her to begin "in the clouds and come all the way down" toward the ground while holding an umbrella aloft, she explained.
"And I'm supposed to walk effortlessly into my close-up as if it's nothing."
Despite Marshall's wish for a fourth attempt, Blunt firmly declared she had reached her limit after performing this stunt three times.
