While she may have nailed the role of Mary Poppins for the upcoming film, not everything came easy for actress Emily Blunt.
In a recent interview with People, Blunt shared the one part of the role that she found the most challenging — the flying scenes. These shots required the actress to be harnessed in -- and hooked up -- to a wire in order to make it seem like she was actually flying. At first, Blunt confessed that she didn't really realize that she had a fear of flying, but once it came time for her to do a few "flights," the actress says that the process was definitely scary.
"It was totally terrifying," she told the publication. "I thought I was alright with heights, and then as I kept going higher I was like, 'I don't think I'm alright with heights! I actually think I'm very bad with heights!'"
But as scary as the scenes were, Blunt did find part of it very magical, seeing as it was such a memorable part of the first movie. It definitely got emotions running high, not only for her -- but for the whole crew.
"You know you're doing something special when everybody feels it, from the lighting guys, the grips, the catering guy. One of the camera grips came up to me and he goes, 'That was really emotional watching you come down like that.' It was really sweet."
