Emily Blunt and Colman Domingo's Flirty Chemistry Goes Into Overdrive

When you’ve got on-screen chemistry this good, the banter doesn’t stop when the cameras turn off—especially not on live TV.

Emily Blunt and Colman Domingo proved their partnership in Steven Spielberg’s extraterrestrial epic is just as electric off-set as it is on-screen during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live. The conversation took a playful turn when Andy Cohen posed the question everyone’s asking: should famous people avoid sexting?

Emily played it cautious, but Colman wasn’t about to let that slide. Without missing a beat, he declared he’d absolutely still sext—then jokingly turned up the heat by calling out his co-star and insisting she’d already sent him more than a few spicy messages. The back-and-forth was pure gold, with both actors fully committing to the bit and clearly reveling in the chance to wind each other up on national television.

Before anyone starts connecting dots that aren’t actually there, both Blunt and Domingo are married to different people, so this exchange was entirely in jest. Still, the moment is a masterclass in talk-show chemistry—the kind that keeps audiences engaged and reminds us why these two are believable together whether they’re saving the world from aliens or just trading zingers with a talk show host.

As they continue promoting Spielberg’s project, moments like these remind us that great on-screen partners often bring that same ease and wit to their real-world interactions. And honestly? That’s what makes press tours worth watching.
