Emily Blunt has revealed that Meryl Streep "owes" her "big time" as she saved her life.

The 31-year-old actress, who stars in the upcoming big-screen adaptation of 'Into the Woods' with Streep, said that they were rehearsing a scene where the 65-year-old actress playing the witch was supposed to jump onto the table with a cape and everything, Us Magazine reported.

Blunt added that Streep's foot got caught in her cape and people around just started to watch her slowly topple head-first toward the concrete floor.

The British star, who welcomed daughter Hazel this past February, continued that director Rob Marshall and James Corden froze and didn't move but she, who was then pregnant, caught her.

 

John Krasinski's wife added that she thinks at some point she should play the Queen of Versailles and Streep, who owes her, can be her lowly dressmaker.

Blunt added that "annoyingly amazing" Streep said "dream on" when she mentioned the idea to her.
