Playing opposite Colin Firth, who plays Tusker’s partner, Sam, Tucci noted that the pair’s real-life friendship played a vital role in the onscreen relationship.“What you see on screen is very much not so different from who we are,” Tucci said.Tucci, who recently starred in Prime Video’s action series “Citadel,” first met Blunt after working with her sister, Emily, on “The Devil Wears Prada.” Years after Tucci’s first wife, Kathryn Spath, died of cancer in 2009, Tucci met Felicity again and eventually broke the news to Emily that the pair was coupled up.“I said to Emily… ‘I’m dating your sister,’ ’cause she’s had an inkling, and then Felicity said, ‘You told her?'” Tucci said.
