Emily Blunt and Colman Domingo Get Candid About Aliens and ‘Disclosure Day’

When it comes to the mysteries of the universe, Colman Domingo isn’t just a believer—he’s leaning into the unknown. During a recent appearance on Rolling Stone’s “Popcorn Questions” alongside his Disclosure Day co-star Emily Blunt, the actor offered a humorous take on the subject, joking, “I am an alien.”

Beyond the levity, however, both actors expressed a genuine curiosity about the existence of UAPs and UFOs. “I believe there’s something out in the ethers,” Domingo noted. “Why not? You look up at the sky. Why couldn’t something be looking at you?”

A Candid Conversation on Sci-Fi and Space

The interview served as a lighthearted “disclosure” of its own, as the pair pulled random questions from a popcorn bucket to discuss everything from their favorite science fiction films to their personal fears. While Blunt cited the classic E.T. as her top pick, the conversation quickly turned to the hypothetical scenario of who should represent humanity if we were to make contact with extraterrestrial life.

Both actors reached a consensus: Steven Spielberg. Domingo praised the filmmaker for his insatiable curiosity, while Blunt offered a simple, heartfelt endorsement: “He’s the best of us.”

The session also highlighted the genuine chemistry between the two friends. From attempting E.T.-style alien voices to Domingo’s impression of Barry White as an extraterrestrial, the interview was a testament to their rapport. Blunt also shared a vulnerable moment, admitting she felt starstruck in the presence of Bruce Springsteen and recounting the comedic challenges of filming a scene with Dwayne Johnson that required speaking in a fictional “ancient language.”

Disclosure Day arrives in theaters this Friday. As critic David Fear noted in his review for Rolling Stone, the film captures a sense of wonder that feels both timely and timeless: “Spielberg does believe that we are not the only game running in the cosmos. But he also believes that our better angels have not left the building, and that movies still have the power to communally blow minds and open hearts.”
