Tom Cruise’s fitness boost to Emily Blunt post pregnancy

Blunt eagerly praised Cruise’s role, adding, “I always say Tom Cruise is the reason I bounced back after the pregnancy, I was in such good shape when I got pregnant.” She jokes that Cruise should be known as the “new diet pill” because his offer to star in Edge of Tomorrow got her in great shape prior to becoming pregnant. This preparation made it a lot easier for her to get back to her fitness after the birth of her daughter, Hazel.

I worked quite a bit last year and my oldest baby is nine, so we’re in the last year of single digits. And I just feel [like] there are cornerstones to their day that are so important when they’re little. And it’s ‘Will you wake me up? Will you take me to school? Will you pick me up? Will you put me to bed?’ And I just need to be there for all of them for a good stretch. And I just felt that in my bones,”
