A Private Emma Stone Goes 'Outward Bound' In WSJ Interview, Lensed By Angelo Pennetta
/Actor Emma Stone talks about her fierce protection of her privacy in a major interview with Josh Eells in the July/August issue of WSJ Magazine.Stone is styled in cool weather casuals by Francesca Burns, with images by Angelo Pennetta.
Eells writes:
Last summer she shot a Woody Allen movie— Irrational Man, which opens this July—and then went straight into rehea rsals for a three-month stint on Broadway, starring as a coked-up Sally Bowles in Cabaret. Then came Academy Awards season, which she experienced for the first time as a nominee, and then Saturday Night Live’s 40th anniversary special, on which the longtime comedy nerd got to fulfill a childhood fantasy by playing Roseanne Roseannadanna, a character originated by one of her heroes, Gilda Radner. (“It wasn’t great,” Stone says of her performance, “but it was fun.”) When her run on Cabaret ended in February, Stone high-tailed it to California, where she had reshoots on Aloha,a Cameron Crowe movie that opened in May, in which she plays an Air Force F-22 fighter pilot and Bradley Cooper’s love interest. (Crowe calls her “the soul of the movie.”) Now she finally has a couple of months off, which she’s using to relax and ponder the little questions, like what to do with the rest of her career.
Much of the interview is devoted to very specific details about lunch. It is the theme that holds the interview together. But Stone opens up about the Sony Hack — she’s made nine movies with the studio. Recently her own email address and cellphone number were published on WikiLeaks, causing her to delete her entire email account representing over six years of messages.
‘I was just so freaked out that someone was in there,’ Stone explains. Read on at WSJ Magazine.
