Emma Stone is done.
When the Oscar winner became an actress for the first time and had to choose an official name for SAG-AFTRA (Actors Guild), there was no Emily Stone, so she chose the name Emma, which she loved from childhood.
“That’s because my name was stolen. [by another actress in SAG]” she said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published Wednesday.
But after a few years, she revealed that she started missing that identity.

The topic came up after Fielder told the paper in a joint interview: “Before we continue, I just want to say something. Her name is Emily, but professionally she’s called Emma. So when someone doesn’t know her, I say, “I’ll call her Emma, but from now on, I’ll call her Emily.” ”
“You can call me Emma. You can say anything,” Stone told a reporter, adding that she wouldn’t correct her if a fan approached her and called her Emily.
