Emily Blunt jokes that Matt Damon is a 'nosy neighbour' on The One Show
Emily Blunt and Matt Damon have lifted the lid on what it is like having each other as neighbours during an appearance on The One Show.
The actress, 40, and the Hollywood star, 52, are gearing up for the release of their new film Oppenheimer, which also stars the likes of Cillian Murphy.
But it is not the first time they have worked together as they previously starred in 2011 thriller The Adjustment Bureau and became fast friends.
And the close pals have also revealed that they are neighbours in real life as they live in the same apartment block in Brooklyn, New York.
Appearing on The One Show on Wednesday, the pair dished on what they are each like as neighbours as they chatted to hosts Alex Jone and Jermaine Jenas.

When asked if it was true that they are neighbours, Matt grumbled: 'God help me!'
Emily then hilariously shared her thoughts on what Matt is like as a neighbour, quipping: 'Nosy neighbour over there, always scratching at the door.'
Her response had Matt in stitches and the pair giggled as he said: '[I'm] like Gollum outside your house.'
Host Alex then asked Emily if he was a 'needy' neighbour, prompting the Mary Poppins star to joke: 'Oh he's so needy. He's like "hey #available".'
Matt couldn't help but chime in as he added: '#Nodinnerplansagain!'
The pair were left in fits of laughter as they jokingly criticised each other, before Emily gushed that she actually loves living next to Matt and his family.
Taking a more serious tone, Emily said: 'No, I adore having them as neighbours, it's the best!'
Agreeing, Matt added: 'We have a lot of fun.'
