Emily Blunt Takes a Lie Detector Test | Vanity Fair

Emily Blunt takes Vanity Fair's infamous lie detector test. Does she prefer the British Office over the American version? Has her husband, John Krasinski, ever called her "Pam" by accident? Would she say the last name "Blunt" is better than "Krasinski?" Is she a part of her brother-in-law, Stanley Tucci's, Tucci Gang?
From writer/director @JohnKrasinski, experience #AQuietPlace Part II in theaters Friday. Starring Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, and Noah Jupe. aquietplacemovie.com

"It is true that she believes that." Life quote.

[@Chrisko1492]

Which is also the way to fool the lie detector. Skilled people can temporarly convince themselves (through meditation/self-hypnosis/focus) to truly believe a lie, so that their body doesn‘t give any signal that can be picked up by the lie detector. Takes a lot of practice though.

[@sarahwithstars]

This dynamic between Barry and Emily is hilarious ~ that comment is basically "she is delusional"

[@Neojhun]

@@Chrisko1492 That only works for questions and topics you are prepared for. These Celeb Q&A for fun are wide ranging have no real focus topic. In such case the Believe a Lie method only works in the rare cases where you happened to be trained for it.

[@alainminsart1217]

[@Chrisko1492]

@@Neojhun I mean yeah, I was talking more about the cases where a criminal is investigated with a lie detector (if that still happens... in some countries it does, probably). There you know you get questioned on the crime so you can prepare.

It started as a code word that was used to refer to cannabis. It's such a popular term that before it was legalized in so many places they had 1 day every year in the major cities in the US, and even internationally, where in designated areas people could go to smoke weed they brought with them without any criminal consequences. Edit: that day by the way is on April 20 (4/20).
