 Emma Stone
Interview By: Rocco Passafuime One's fortunes in show business can be changed instantly after acting in the right role. Emma Stone is one young actress to have now benefited from such a performance. Stone made her start as the winner of the VH1 reality show In Search of the Partridge Family. When the prospects of that went belly-up, Stone appeared on TV series such as Malcolm In The Middle, Lucky Louie, Drive, and Medium. However, her breakout came on the big screen with a role as Jules, the crush of the vulgar, poofy-haired, portly Seth in the hit comedy Superbad. Now Stone hopes to continue her momentum in the new comedy The House Bunny, in which she plays nerdy sorority sister Natalie. “Natalie over there, she’s incredibly loyal, loves her friends so much, is completely comfortable around them, and no one else at all,” the 19-year-old Stone says, “and loves to study and loves working hard. That’s what makes her happy. “Even if she’s socially inept, I think she’s pretty comfortable, actually, with who she is,” she adds. “Most of her wanting to change in a sense is really more to save the charter of the house than to really change who she is at her core. She kind of maintains her whole personality a lot throughout the movie.” The change Stone refers to in particular involves getting made over, along with her sorority sisters, by Playboy-bunny-turned-house mother Shelley, played by star Anna Faris. We asked her whether she prefers her character pre- or post-makeover. “Pre-makeover,” Stone says. “My character changes just in the sense that she gains a little more confidence, but just in the uncomfortableness of just every cell of Natalie in the beginning...I loved playing that. I would play that forever. It was so much fun.” We asked Stone to share what she found different about playing a sorority sister in this film versus having played a high school senior in Superbad. “Our sorority is very atypical in the fact that it only has seven members,” Stone says. “We are unable to really relate to anyone and are never able to get any pledges. So the whole catalyst of the movie is that we’re not your typical college situation." She laughs. "Also, a Playboy bunny plays our house mother, so that’s a little different, too.” Stone wasn't able to draw on any of her own experiences in playing a college student, though. “I’m 19. I should be in college,” she says. “I did not go to college at all. I left [high] school my freshman year and finished through home school, so I’m by no means credibly educated. But I try to make up for it in sense of humor or something.” However, Stone believes her chosen path was well worth it because of her passion for acting. “Ever since I can remember, acting is what has made me feel free, entirely,” Stone says. “It really makes me emotional, but it’s really where I’m happy hands down. Between ‘action’ and ‘cut’ ... |
