The Devil Wears Prada actress stars opposite Friend in the upcoming biopic, which documents the budding romance between the Queen (Blunt) and Prince Albert (Friend).
"I tell you, hearts will melt over Rupert. He is the definition of a real man in the film," she reportedly told Harper's Bazaar.
"He has such dignity about him naturally. He brought a likeability and selflessness to Albert without making him look weak."
Earlier this week, Blunt's co-star Harriet Walter confessed that she "fell in love" with the British actor during filming, joking: "I wished I'd been 20 years younger and Rupert Friend was a possibility!"
The Young Victoria will be released in the UK on March 6.
