Emma Stone recently shared her thoughts on wanting to be referred to by her real name, Emily. In a candid interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the actress expressed her desire to go by Emily, revealing that those close to her often use that name once they feel comfortable.
Initially, Emma chose to adopt the name Emma as her stage alias due to another actress already using the name Emily. However, she admitted to having a moment of doubt a few years ago, where she contemplated reverting to her birth name.
During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Emma disclosed her childhood fascination with the name Emma, inspired by Spice Girls member Emma Bunton, also known as Baby Spice. She reminisced about her blonde hair and resemblance to the pop star, leading her to request to be called Emma in second grade.
Aside from her name preference, Emma Stone made headlines for clarifying rumors about calling Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel a derogatory term. Following a joke about intimate scenes in her film, Stone addressed the misunderstanding and denied making any offensive remarks towards Kimmel.
Setting the record straight in her interview, Emma emphasized that she holds no ill feelings towards Kimmel and is not easily offended by misunderstandings or false accusations.
