Emily Blunt was distracted by Sir Anthony Hopkins on the set of 'The Wolfman'.

The British actress, who plays Gwen Conliffe in the horror thriller, admitted she enjoying working with the legendary star.

She said: "He's very, very cool. I was riveted by him. I would sit around and talk to him between takes, and he'd tell us wonderful stories. He's a great mimic.

He's seen every one of them, 20 times

"He's quite an economical actor. It's masterful to watch - and it's distracting. I'd watch him in the scene and be like, 'Oh, s**t! I forgot my line.' "

The 26-year-old starlet also liked the challenge of doing a horror movie - something she has never done before.

Emily said: "It's funny because I had never really done the horror genre, and certainly not the monster movie genre, and I love doing something I've never done before so that was cool."

While Emily was new to the genre she was able to learn from her "horror movie freak" co-star Benicio del Toro.

She said: "Benicio is the freak about horror movies. He is so well-researched. He's seen every one of them, 20 times. But I was a really nervous child, so I never wanted to go watch horror movies."
