EMILY BLUNT BANNED FROM UNICORN CLUB

Emily Blunt never got over the fact that she was banned from joining exclusive Unicorn Club.

Emily Blunt plays a married French teacher toying with the idea of having an affair with one of her students which is shot down at the monthly gatherings of The Jane Austen Book Club.

Emily never belonged to any kind of club, and in fact has sworn off members only institutions as she was devastated from being banned from one at a young age.

“I was never a part of a club. I don’t think I was cool enough to be involved in a club. Actually you know when I was a kid my two friends started what they called The Unicorn Club, I don’t know why it was called that and I was so desperate to be a part of it I bought those kind of unicorn rings and unicorn little models and stuff and I handed over these gifts which they took and then still told me I couldn’t be in the club. So upset. I was so upset. At seven years old that’s a horrible blow.”

Emily thinks a book club can be a healthy outlet for adults who may spend their days talking baby talk.

“Because I think people need an outlet to kind of talk about something intelligent particularly mothers who spend their lives talking to small children. I mean that could be very tedious so I think it is a real outlet for people and kind of shows some brains and to meet new friends and really kind of immerse themselves in something else. I think it could be a bit of an escape for people so I think I see totally why people want to go into book clubs. And they can be a lot of fun. I think people talk about a lot of stuff other than books at them. Talk about shoes and stuff.”

The Jane Austen Book Club which features an ensemble cast of women actors Amy Brennerman, Maria Bello, and Kathy Baker is currently playing in theaters.
