Stars come out to honor Stanley Tucci, Emily Blunt at Walk of Fame Ceremony
Several of Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt’s close friends and collaborators were present for their induction ceremony for the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The star-studded list included Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon, Dwayne Johnson, and Meryl Streep, who collectively served as guest speakers at the event.
Meryl Streep, in particular, spoke glowingly of Stanley Tucci, her dear friend.
“You can’t even call Stanley a national treasure anymore because I’ve just been around the world, and truly, the affection hurled at him globally, he’s just marinating in it. … It’s impossible not to love Stanley Tucci. Urbane, sly, funny, bitchy and generous and curious, and so elegant.”
She added,
“I’ve known you longer as a friend than as a scene partner, and we’ve been through some rough times together and some great times. And I love you deeply.”
Tucci, admittedly, was particularly moved by Streep’s words,
“I never thought that I would be, first of all, work with her, but to be here today and have her say those things about me is probably the greatest honor I’ve ever had.”
With this latest honor, Stanley Tucci continues to cement his already stellar legacy in film.
