Emma Stone, one of the most successful actors in the industry began her acting career when she was very young and mainly participated in theatre during her early childhood and established a solid reputation for herself. She made her Hollywood debut with the television series In Search of the New Partridge Family while she was in her teens. One of her most significant roles in the industry was her portrayal of Gwen Stacy in The Amazing Spider-Man franchise alongside Andrew Garfield.

During their time in Hollywood, actors and actresses encounter many strange and unexpected circumstances, but the situation surrounding Emma Stone in the movie The Favourite was unquestionably the strangest of the lot. She convinced the director that she was willing to perform a n*de scene even though she hated the concept of n*dity. While this may come as a shock to many, she was willing to do it herself.

“I had the sheet up around me. And as we were shooting it and we did a few takes, I said, ‘Can I please just be n*ked?’ I think it’s going to give Sarah something to look at when she sees that I’m not just under the sheet covered up.

Olivia was like, ‘No, don’t do it!’ Yorgos was like, ‘Are you sure that’s what you want to do?’ And I was like, ‘Absolutely.’ I chose to do it. I was like, this makes sense to me. It’s an absolute Stone flips the bird to Sarah,

I’ve been around Brits long enough the shock has worn off, but hearing the word ‘c*nt’ a bunch, I was like, ‘Oh my God.’ It’s the most offensive word.”

During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Aloha actress Emma Stone shared that in the movie The Favourite, there was a scene where she had to be on the bed with sheets around her. Although it was a scene that was meant to have Stone’s character seem naked in the movie, she was not.
