LONDON:

British singer James Blunt and actress Emily Blunt planned to play a prank on the media by pretending that they were feuding relatives.

Contactmusic.com reports that the two are friends but not related and they planned to start gossip because they were mistaken to be from the same family. The 24-year old Blunt said, “James Blunt and I were thinking of starting a rumour in the press that we are actually related but that we hate each other, and neither of us is willing to admit to it. He’s a buddy — we talked about it because we both get asked about it all the time. I guess we both have brown hair and blue eyes and are British — of course, we’re related.”
