While fans continue to rave over Emily Blunt s memorable performance in The Devil Wears Prada nearly 20 years after its release, it turns out her kiddos cant stand her role that catapulted her Hollywood career.

They thought I was the meanest person theyve ever met, the actress, 41, told Page Six of her childrens reaction to her part in the 2006 drama film.

Blunt shares daughters Hazel, 10, and Violet, 7, with husband John Krasinski , whom she married in 2010.

In The Devil Wears Prada, Blunt plays a savage assistant, also conveniently named Emily, to the cold-hearted editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly (played by Meryl Streep) of the fictional Runway Magazine.

The British actress shared she receives frequent praise over the role till this day, explaining how touched she is by the films impact on fans.

Its incredible that it has such an indelible fingerprint on people and its quoted to me every week, she explained in the interview published Sep. 16.

Elsewhere in the conversation, Blunt gushed over how she and the cast, which also includes Anne Hathaway and Stanley Tucci, had the time of our lives while filming the movie.

At the time I was young, it was my first big movie, she told Page Six. I remember my agent calling me and telling me about the opening weekend. I was like, Is that good? Like I didnt know what was good.

The Devil Wears Prada grossed a whopping $326 million at the worldwide box office, according to The Hollywood Reporter .

Earlier this summer, the Oppenheimer star shared how she hopes her fictional character is doing nearly two decades later.

I just hope shes eating a nice French dip sandwich somewhere and shes just happy, Blunt contemplated to E! News at the premiere of her and Ryan Goslings film, The Fall Guy. Not a cube of cheese. I hope shes sort of transitioned into a proper sandwich at this point.
