5 things you didn't know about ... Emma Stone.
You know she won the Oscar for Best Actress for her role in "La La Land". That she was lucky enough to kiss Ryan Gosling (several times) for movies. That she is Jennifer Lawrence's best friend. But did you know she wasn't naturally redhead?
1. Her name is not Emma
Emma Stone's real name is actually Emily Jean Stone (Jean is her grandmother's first name). Only when she started acting and wanted to be on the Screen Actors Guild roster, Emily Stone's name was already taken. She then hesitated between Emily J. Stone and Riley Stone, before falling back on Emma Stone. A reference to one of her favorite singers: Emma Bunton of the Spice Girls.
2. She's not naturally red
Emma Stone's natural hair color is blonde. And it's thanks to director Judd Apptow that she found her signature look: her red hair. "Judd made me a redhead," she said in a 2010 interview with "East Valley Tribune". It was 2007, when she was casting "Superbad". “I was brunette during the auditions. Judd came over, he said 'turn red' and he walked away. "
3. She suffered from vocal cord nodules, the origin of her sexy voice
She owes her low, hoarse voice to vocal cord nodules, which developed because she screamed and cried too much when she was a baby. "This is the result of 6 months of crying 24 hours a day when I was a baby," Emma Stone said on the "Late Show with David Letterman" set. “I am damaged. I was constantly screaming in discomfort and I think my mom really had a good time because of me. "
4. She would have liked to be a journalist (if she hadn't been an actress)
When she was younger, Emma Stone had created a newsletter, called Neptune, in which she wrote articles and tips for her readers. So if she hadn't managed to be an actress, she would have been a journalist. "It's the same kind of job," she explained on the Ellen De Generes show. "You watch people, you analyze how they work to understand how they work" Which she does every time she has to step into the shoes of a character.
5. She has a tattoo on her wrist designed by Paul McCartney
Two bird paws, this is the tattoo not only Emma Stone has but also her mother on the wrist. A reference to the Beatles song "Blackbird". And the tattoo was drawn by Paul McCartney himself. The actress met the singer while filming "Welcome to Zombieland" and convinced him to sketch the design that she then inscribed on her wrist to signify her mother's victory over breast cancer.
