Emma Stone was excited to be greeted by her given name during her ‘Kinds of Kindness’ press conference at Cannes
Emma Stone is proud to go by her birth name of Emily.
Stone, 35, excitedly was greeted with her real name when she spoke at the Saturday, May 18, Festival de Cannes press conference for her new movie Kinds of Kindness.
A reporter from Kazakhstan’s 98 Magazine addressed her as “Emily,” before the movie’s director, Yorgos Lanthimos, tried to correct the journalist and reveal that her moniker is “Emma.”
Stone, however, informed Lanthimos, 50, that the reporter had it right all along.
“My name is Emily, thank you,” the Oscar-winning actress said with a laugh. “Very nice.”
The reporter then resumed asking his question about Stone’s acting in Kinds of Kindness, which debuted at Cannes one day earlier on Friday, May 17.
