John Krasinski Shares How His Kids’ Imaginary Friends Inspired the Family Movie IF (Exclusive)
John Krasinski tells PEOPLE how watching his two daughters 'disappear into a magical world' with imaginary friends helped inspire his new movie 'IF.'
Krasinski, 44, recalls being at home and watching Hazel, 10, and Violet, 7, the girls he shares with his wife, Oppenheimer star Emily Blunt, 41, “disappear into a magical world that we, as parents, aren’t allowed into,” he says. His daughter moves in with her grandmother (Fiona Shaw) in a Brooklyn brownstone, where she meets a neighbor, Cal (Ryan Reynolds), who, like Bea, can see the IFs (imaginary friends)—-animated characters voiced by stars including Blunt, Steve Carell, Blake Lively, George Clooney, Matt Damon and Bradley Cooper. “Hazel’s a very empathetic soul, and we were making s’mores one night, and her marshmallow burst into flames as they tend to do, and she was so destroyed that she had hurt some sort of creature,” continues Krasinski.
