And it seems that all that working out paid off for Emily Blunt, who last night (Thursday) showed off her slim figure in a form-fitting maroon dress at the premiere of the movie at the Toronto Film Festival.The 29-year-old actress drew attention to her toned physique in the gorgeous outfit, which featured a cross-back detail and visible zip, as she posed up with husband John Krasinski at the event.Emily teamed her dress with a pair of nude patterned peeptoe heels and left her dip-dyed bob loose and wavy for the occasion.The British star has been keeping quiet about exactly what role she plays in thriller Looper, which stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a younger Bruce Willis in a story of an assassin beamed back in time from the future to kill a specific group of targets.Emily had to work hard to train in wood-chopping for the movie, which sees her character chopping down a tree for firewood.She told Entertainment Weekly magazine: I had logs delivered to my backyard in Los Angeles, and just learned how to chop wood. I chopped wood most days until I looked like I could chop wood convincingly, seeing as this something the character probably does every day. I didn’t want to chop wood like a sissy, you know?And while the premise of the movie sounds slightly far-fetched, Emily said it is one of the projects she is most proud of during her career.She explained: For whatever reason it was, everything fell into place. The script was unbelievable, the director was unbelievable. I haven’t seen this movie before. I think that’s a really rare thing.For me, I think, to be original and rare, that seems to be the best thing for me right now. Because it’s hard to find that.Emily was joined at last nights premiere by co-star Gordon-Levitt, who had to wear prosthetic make-up for the movie to make him look more like Willis.But last night the actor went make-up fee as he posed up with Emily backstage at the film festival.Covert Affairs actress Piper Perabo also appears in the film, and showcased her slim figure in a cute strapless black dress and black peep-toe heels.
