During his time shooting Jack Ryan, John Krasinski was based in Montreal, Canada while Emily Blunt and their two daughters were in London. Despite the distance, Krasinski made sure to see the family often. Krasinski explained that he always wanted their base to be with their mother. He said, “So they were with her, and we always set up a base, and I always want the base to be with their mom, and I’ll do the flight time.” He continued, “I think that there’s nothing you can complain about in this business, you know what I mean? We are all so lucky to be doing what we’re doing. If there’s one thing that’s a bummer, it’s that you spend time away from your kids. But guess what, a lot of people spend time away from their kids. So for me, I think we’re all living in a fantasy camp. So I’m not going to be the first one to complain.”
