The A Quiet Place director used a container to trap the spider, as Blunt quipped, "[He was] trying to act kinda cool about it."

"He got outside and it was pitch black, so he couldn't see it," she concluded. "Then he released it and shook it out — but didn't know if it was out because it was dark!"

"I was in a restaurant, he was in the restaurant," she recalled in an interview. "I was sitting with a mutual friend. And my friend Gray goes 'Oh my god, that's my friend John.' And that was it. He was sitting with our friend Justin Theroux, and he abandoned Justin and came over to us. He just stood there and made me laugh."
