Emma Stone Says It Would Be Nice If People Would Just Call Me By Her Real Name

Emma Stone would like everyone to finally address her as Emmanuella Gertrude Stonebreaker III, already.

Just kidding! That is by no means her real name but neither is Emma.

During a joint interview for The Hollywood Reporter  with her The Curse co-star Nathan Fielder published Wednesday, Fielder told the outlet he was going to refer to Stone as Emily instead of Emma. 

Stone has explained in the past  that although her birth name is Emily Stone, she had to change it while earning her Screen Actors Guild card because there was already an actor named Emily Stone in the union. 

After Fielder declared hed be using Stones real name throughout the interview, the outlet asked if anyone else in the industry calls her by her real name.

When I get to know them, people that I work with do. Its just because my name was taken [by another actor in SAG]. Then I freaked out a couple of years ago. For some reason, I was like, I cant do it anymore. Just call me Emily, she said, noting that Fielder also calls her Em.

When THR asked whether shed like it if a fan called her Emily, the Poor Things star gave a resounding yes.

That would be so nice. I would like to be Emily, Stone said.

Stone isnt alone in being somewhat irked by the overuse of their stage name.

Anne Hathaway was born Anne Hathaway, but prefers to be referred to as her nickname, which is Annie.

The Idea of You star explained to Jimmy Fallon in 2021  that she filmed a commercial when she was 14 and needed a SAG card.

They asked me, What do you want your name to be? And Im like, Well, it should be my name. My names Anne Hathaway, she said. And so that seemed like the right choice, but it never occurred to me that for the rest of my life people would call me Anne.

She added that everyone in her life calls her Annie except for her mom, who only uses Anne when shes angry with her.

Every time I step out in public and someone calls my name, I think theyre gonna yell at me, she said.
