In the pages of the monthly,  she opened up about suffering from a stutter as a child as she said: 'I think whatever you have to overcome in life ultimately paves the way [for whom you become as an adult].

'I got teased a lot, and to this day, I hate unkindness in people and bullies.' 

She had such a tough time with it in her younger years that she would tell people that her name was anything other than Emily because she had a tough time saying her own name.

The British beauty explained: 'Names are always tricky because you can’t substitute a different word and there’s so much pressure attached to it.

'Even nowadays, when I’m tired or I feel put on the spot, I still sometimes struggle to get the words out.'

Emily said that even to this day when calling someone she has to mentally prepare herself to say her own name.

She explained: ' There’s always a big pause between when they ask �Who’s calling?’ and when I say "Emily Blunt."'

The wife of John Krasinski is very passionate about the issue and is even an advocate for the American Institute for Stuttering's annual gala alongside other A-listers who suffered from the same thing including Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson and Vice President Joe Biden.

No doubt it is an exciting time as she can soon be seen in thriller The Girl On The Train.

In the flick Emily stars as alcoholic divorcee Rachel Watson who becomes embroiled in a missing person investigation. 

 She admitted that the role felt a little challenging at first because the way she actually lives is so different but did things to prep for the role like watch episodes of documentary series Intervention.

The mother-of-two explained: 'I needed to understand what addiction does to you physically and mentally and how it affects your self-esteem. 

This woman I play onscreen is so damaged, so broken down, that people don’t even want to breathe the same air as her.'

 The Girl On The Train, directed by Tate Taylor, was released on Wednesday in the UK with a US release following on Friday.
