LOADING ERROR LOADING Hey, even if it was a mistake, Emma Stone will take it. The Oscar-winning actor was answering questions during a press conference for her upcoming film “Kinds of Kindness” at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival Saturday when a reporter from Kazakhstan stood up and addressed Stone in a way that made her visibly delighted. “My questions go to Emily Stone and Yorgos Lanthimos, so Emily.
..” the reporter asked Stone and the film’s director, Yorgos Lanthimos.
Advertisement Thinking that the journalist had made a mistake with Stone’s name, Lanthimos quickly corrected the reporter by saying “Emma” — but Stone jumped in and said: “My name is Emily, thank you. Very nice.” Although it’s unclear if the reporter knew Stone’s real first name, or inadvertently used a similar-sounding name, Emily is in fact the “Poor Things” star’s actual name — and the reporter’s timing in addressing her as “Emily” was exquisite.
Only a month ago, Stone made headlines after Nathan Fielder referred to her as “Emily” instead of “Emma” during a joint interview for the Hollywood Reporter to promote their Showtime series, “The Curse.” Advertisement When the outlet asked if Stone would like it if more people referred to by her real first name, the “La La Land” star gave a resounding yes. “That would be so nice.
I would like to be Emily,” Stone said. Emma Stone attends the "Kinds Of Kindness" press conference ahead of the 77th annual Canne.
