Blunt was born on 23 February 1983, in London. She is the second of four children, born to a former actress and English teacher, Joanna Mackie, and a barrister, Oliver Blunt KC. Her mother gave up acting to parent full time before Blunt started school. Blunt described herself as a "shy and awkward" child, who began having difficulties with stuttering, a condition she described as debilitating and "like an imposter living in your body". She experienced it at its worst between the ages of seven and fourteen. Intimidated by speaking, she spent much time watching people, as well as creating elaborate games for herself and playing the cello. She credits a school teacher with having encouraged her to perform in class plays, where using voices different to her own allowed her to disconnect from herself and speak fluently. This also gave her the confidence to continue on the stage and discover her love of acting. She has said that her stutter largely receded in adulthood, but still occasionally emerges under stress. She was educated at Ibstock Place School, a private school in the London suburb of Roehampton, followed by Hurtwood House, a private sixth-form boarding school near to the market town of Dorking, in Surrey, known for its performing arts programme. After appearing in a school play at the Edinburgh Festival, Blunt was discovered and signed by an agent. Once she finished her school exams, she began auditioning.
