In the star-studded galaxy of Hollywood, where names sparkle like sequins, one star, known to us as Emma Stone, is polishing her own shimmering title back to its original form—Emily. Yes, the charming personality gracing countless films, from zany comedies to gripping dramas, prefers “Emily,” her birth name, over her famous alias.
Emily Stone, not far from her teen years, stumbled upon a conundrum that many rising actors face—a namesake doppelgänger who had already claimed “Emily Stone” in the acting registry. Briefly flirting with the name “Riley,” Emily finally embraced “Emma” after fondly being nicknamed by her mother and inspired by her obsession, Emma Bunton from the Spice Girls. Her love for Baby Spice was so profound that she convinced her second-grade teacher to address her as “Emma,” a name that unexpectedly stuck with her throughout her climb in Hollywood.
Emma Stone Faces an Identity Dilemma
From her humble beginning, credited as Emma Stone in a 2006 episode of Malcolm in the Middle, the name has undoubtedly served her well. However, a decade and a half, along with two Oscars later, at age 35, the star is ready to reclaim “Emily”.
During a recent revelation in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, stoked by a conversation with Nathan Fielder, her co-star in Curse, Emily expressed her desire to revert to her real name. Nathan, already referring to her as Emily or “Em,” set a precedent, underlining, “From now on, I’m going to say Emily.”
Emily Stone appreciates the growing acceptance of her first name among her colleagues and suggests it would be nice for fans and the wider public to join this personal rebrand: “I would like to be Emily. That would be nice.”
So, let us honor her wish. Next time you spot this gifted actress on the big screen or shimmering on a red carpet, remember, that’s Emily enchanting you with her stellar performances.
