Actress Emily Blunt is a U.S. citizen now, and the citizenship test is really, really hard, she told Jimmy Kimmel on Tuesday's Kimmel Live. She had to renounce Queen Elizabeth II, but not really, she explained, and tell her inquisitors that she had never been a habitual drunkard or a prostitute. Kimmel was less impressed with the test than amused at the idea that Blunt, who is now a dual U.S.-British citizen, has to look down her nose at herself. And he had an American citizenship test of his own for Blunt. She didn't pass.

Real Americans may not be able to recite the finer points of the Constitution or give the dates for the War of 1812, but they know what DQ and MLB stand for, by gum! Watch Blunt try and fail below. Peter Weber
