Emily Blunt has recently revealed her children's reaction to her Jungle Cruise movie, which was released in 2011.

"They've seen Jungle Cruise once. They didn't like the underwater stuff where I'm trapped and I'm in peril," admitted the 41-year-old in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE.

Blunt, who shares two daughters with husband and actor John Krasinski, told the outlet that her daughters "started crying" after watching her in danger.

“They left the room," she recalled.

Elaborating on her children's traumatic experience, the Oppenheimer actress stated, "They don't love watching me on screen. Which I understand because I'm their mommy and it's very strange to see me play someone else."

Ryan Gosling, Blunt's co-star in The Fall Guy, concurred with children's reaction.

"I didn't like that, either. That was upsetting for me to watch you like that!" mentioned the Barbie star.

Elsewhere in the interview, Blunt discussed about performing stunts in the movies, saying, "I did some wire stuff in Edge of Tomorrow, which was probably more dangerous, because I took some spills."

"But with [Mary Poppins Returns], that entrance was very stressful for me," she remarked.

Blunt explained, "The magical nanny’s entrance had to start in the clouds and come all the way down toward the ground. And I'm supposed to walk effortlessly into my close-up as if it's nothing."

"And I did three takes — and then I felt my tolerance go, ‘Pfft!’ and that was it. I was done," she added.
