She’s panicking about her new role as the face of YSL’s Opium fragrance

Emily Blunt is the new face of Yves Saint Laurent’s Opium fragrance, but says they made a ‘terrible mistake’ hiring her.

As the English beauty smoulders her way through the latest YSL advert it’s easy to see why she was picked to front the fragrance.

In the video, shot by famed French director Romain Gavras, Miss Blunt looks seriously hot in a plunging playsuit and gilded choker while being stalked by a leopard.

But it seems the Devil Wears Prada actress isn’t too sure she pulled it off.

‘God, I’m so un-French in that trailer,’ she admitted to The Telegraph.

When asked why she was invited to front the fragrance, which has seen the likes of supermodel Linda Evangelista previously represent it, Emily said: ‘I don’t know. I’ve no idea. Perhaps ‘there was no one else?’

‘They made a mistake, a terrible mistake.’

And though Emily may say she doesn’t deserve the role, it’s the only beauty campaign she has ever said yes to. ‘I think that I’ve been wanting to make sure that when I did it, it would be the right thing,’ she says.

‘I’d been asked to do a couple of things but none were as classy as this,’ she explains before adding, ‘And I got to work with a leopard. ’
