Blunt rejected Brand role

Actress EMILY BLUNT reportedly turned down a role opposite controversial British comic RUSSELL BRAND - because the sex scenes between the pair were too explicit.

The Devil Wears Prada star was lined up to star as Brand's love interest in Get Him To The Greek, which is currently shooting in Las Vegas.

But the 26 year old feared the intimate love scenes would tarnish her reputation and pulled out of the film, according to Britain's Mail on Sunday newspaper.

A source tells the publication, "Emily provisionally agreed to play a sex-crazed pop singer who beds Brand's character. But then she got cold feet and pulled out. She's no prude but the stumbling block was that her character had far too many explicit love scenes."
