Emma Stone Sits Down with Wall Street Journal Magazine
Emma Stone sat down with Wall Street Journal Magazine for their June issue. In the issue, Emma talks her new film, Irrational Man, her panic attacks, her personal information getting released, working with Woody Allen, Ghostbusters, and so much more. Highlights can be found below.
On her personal information getting released during the Sony Hacks: “I was getting all these emails and texts from people I didn’t know—‘Hi, I’m Joe from the U.K. I like your movies’—and I was so overwhelmed that I went to my in-box and I deleted all my emails. In about a 30-second span, I hit ‘Select All’ and ‘Delete Forever,’ and thousands of emails, like six years of emails, are now gone forever. I was just so freaked out that someone was in there.”
On working with Woody Allen: “It’s terrifying. He doesn’t do table reads or any rehearsal. You can’t even ask questions about your character, because he’ll be like: ‘You know this is a movie, right?’ ” Says Allen: “I never talk to any of the actors in any of my movies about anything if I can avoid it.”
On passing on the female Ghostbusters: “The script was really funny. It just didn’t feel like the right time for me. A franchise is a big commitment—it’s a whole thing. I think maybe I need a minute before I dive back into that water.”
