Actors Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci received stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame during a joint ceremony in Los Angeles [1, 2].
The event highlights the professional partnership of the two actors and their personal connection as in-laws. The timing of the ceremony coincides with the upcoming release of "The Devil Wears Prada 2" [4, 5].
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce honored the pair on April 30, 2024 [3]. According to reports, the actors were awarded the 2,841st and 2,842nd stars on the Walk of Fame [6]. While some reports described the event as a joint star ceremony, other records indicate two separate stars were awarded, one for each actor [2, 3].
Blunt expressed her gratitude during the event. "It's very difficult to sum up how meaningful this is to me," Blunt said [6]. She added, "It has been an honor" [6].
The ceremony included support from fellow industry peers. Actor Matt Damon attended the event to support his colleagues. "It's about time," Damon said [6].
The Walk of Fame remains one of the most visible landmarks for the entertainment industry in the U.S. By honoring both Blunt and Tucci simultaneously, the Chamber of Commerce acknowledged their individual contributions to cinema while celebrating their shared history on screen.
“"It's very difficult to sum up how meaningful this is to me."”
The joint ceremony serves as a strategic promotional tool for the sequel to "The Devil Wears Prada," leveraging the real-life relationship between Blunt and Tucci to generate press. It also reflects the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce's tendency to align Walk of Fame honors with major studio release cycles to maximize visibility for both the honorees and the films.
