She will be in Cannes next May, and fans will scream “Emma” as she passes on the steps. However, the actress’s real name is Emily Stone, and she explains why she took this pseudonym.
Recently Oscar winner for her role in Poor Creatures, partner of Ryan Gosling in La La Land, girlfriend of Spider-Man played by Andrew Garfield, very cruel Disney villain… You have obviously guessed that we are talking here about the American actress Emma Stone! Well, not quite… Yes, yes, it’s definitely her, but not 100%… Do you think the author of these lines is going crazy? No way !
In a recent cross-interview with Nathan Fielder, to whom she stars in the series The Curse, Emma Stone, whose role she considers most difficult is neither that of Poor Creatures nor that of La La Land, says she would like to be called by her real first name more often. Because yes, Emma Stone is not called Emma Stone!
“Before continuing this interview, I would like to say something”says Nathan Fielder at the microphone of the Hollywood Reporter. “Emma’s real name is Emily, but in the movie business she goes by Emma. When people don’t know her, I end up saying Emma, but from now on I’m going to say Emily.”
“It freaked me out a few years ago”
“The people I work with and bond with call me Emily.”bounces back the main interested party. “Actually, I took the name Emma because there was already another actress called Emily Stone. It freaked me out a few years ago.”
Emma Stonewho will be showing next June in the sketch film Kinds of Kindness by Yórgos Lánthimos, presented in Competition at the Cannes Film Festival, would she like fans to call her by her real first name? “That would be so nice. I wish I was Emily.”concludes the 35-year-old actress.
