Famous American actress Emma Stone, who recently received her first Oscar for her role in La Lounge, admitted that in fact her name was different. This 28-year-old actress told in an interview with W, becoming the heroine of the April issue.
Emma Stone for a long time could not choose a nickname
The future owner of the most prestigious statuette among the actors from the very childhood knew that she would be filming. At the age of 16, Emma began to attend castings for the first time and to receive the first episodic roles in the films. It was then that one of the producers, with whom the beginning actress had to cooperate, said that she needs to change her name, because Emily Stone does not sound very memorable. Here's how the actress recalls the path that Emily and Emma passed:
"I knew that in Hollywood it's customary to change names, if you want to become a real actor, but did not think it would affect me. When they told me to come up with a sonorous name, I wanted to be called Riley. It seemed to me that Riley Stone sounds very interesting. So I imagined everyone at work for 6 months, until I was embarrassed. One day on one of the filming days I heard: "Riley, on the platform! Riley, where are you? Riley, why do not you answer? ", I realized that this is not my name. After that, I began many months of doubt about the pseudonym. I "tried on" the name Jay. I thought that it would be very cool to sound - Emily J. Stone, but then I realized that Jay was not about me. After that there was still a lot of options until I ran into Emma's name. I liked it and my relatives too. By the way, they have long been calling me Em, so Emma was very close to them. "
