Emily Blunt and John Krasinski’s daughters are digging Dunder Mifflin.
The actress revealed Thursday that Hazel, 8, and Violet, 6, have “seen some of” their dad’s work in “The Office.”
“They liked [it] a lot,” Blunt, 39, told E! News of the nine-season NBC sitcom, noting that the little ones have also seen her act in “Mary Poppins Returns” and “Jungle Cruise.”
The couple’s kids, however, “don’t really want to watch” their mom and dad on screen, according to Blunt.
“They’ve got that ownership of us as parents,” she explained. “It’s not they’re not like running to see me in a movie, which keeps you humble.”
While Blunt and Krasinski, who wed in 2010, “don’t talk about fame” in their London home, their eldest daughter is starting to pick up on their stardom.
“Hazel came home the other day, and we were in the kitchen, and she goes, ‘Are you famous?’” the Golden Globe winner told the Sunday Times in May 2021.
“We’ve never said that word in our house,” Blunt added. “Someone at school had clearly said it. I was like, ‘Um, not really, I don’t think I am. Did someone say that to you, Haze?’”
Hazel “did not divulge” her sources, but the “Devil Wears Prada” star called the moment “weird.”

She explained, “I don’t want my kids to feel any more important or special or that there’s a glare on them any more than other kids. If they can remain oblivious for the longest time, I’d be thrilled.
“They don’t even want to see what I do,” the “Girl on the Train” star continued. “They don’t even like it when I put on makeup. They don’t like any of it! They just want me to be their mommy.”
Krasinski, for his part, joked during a July “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” appearance that his daughters used to think he was an accountant.
“Until [seeing ‘DC League of Super-Pets’], they didn’t actually believe I was in the business because they’ve never seen anything I’ve done,” the actor, 43, said of Hazel and Violet, who were born in 2014 and 2016, respectively.
