The honest verdict from Hazel and Violet

While the world celebrated Emily Blunt’s transformative role, her daughters, Hazel and Violet, were particularly intrigued. During an appearance on the Jonathan Ross show in 2021, the host inquired about how her daughters reacted to her role as Mary Poppins. With a touch of humor, Emily Blunt said,  “Oh, they don’t even want to watch it. They don’t even like Mary Poppins, yes, they don’t like it because they hate seeing me in anything other than sweatpants. They don’t like it. They hate it.”

She went on to share a lighthearted family anecdote, saying, “They’ve watched it once, and after that, I hear them saying, ‘Mary Poppins, but Julie Andrews, Julie Andrews.'”

Yes, they prefer to see the 1964 classic version of Marry Poppins. “They’ve seen mine once, and that seemed to be enough for them,” Blunt said. “Whereas Julie Andrews has been watched on a loop.”

Julie Andrews’ portrayal of Mary Poppins in the original 1964 film was a legendary performance that earned her a Best Actress Oscar.
