« Bugonia » star Emma Stone temporarily changed her stage name to Riley Stone at age 16 before landing on a different name from her original Emily Stone moniker.
Emma Stone hasn’t always gone by the recognizable name fans know her as.
The Oscar-winning actress actually went by a different name at the start of her career — but only for about six months. Stone revealed her short-lived name change during Wednesday’s appearance on « The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. »
« I actually adopted a stage name for, I would say, like six months because the Screen Actors Guild, it’s like the Business Bureau », she told Colbert. « You can only have one person with that name. »
« I was 16, and I decided I wanted to be Riley for like six months », Stone added.
