Jason Segel has admitted he's "in awe" of his Five-Year Engagement co-star Emily Blunt.

The pair play an engaged couple in the comedy, and How I Met Your Mother star Jason revealed he was impressed with Emily's skills.

"Emily's really capable of anything," said Jason, who co-write the film with director Nicholas Stoller with the British actress in mind for the female lead.

"I'm in awe of everything she can do. She can be elegant, she can be a tomboy, she can be funny, she can be serious, but you always believe what she's doing. You never feel that she's 'efforting' at anything and it astounds me."

The film follows Tom (Jason) and Violet (Emily), whose road to the altar is very long and bumpy.

:: The Five-Year Engagement is released in cinemas on Friday, June 22.
