The gracious and always red-carpet illuminating, Emma Stone, while munching down on some yummy cotton candy as the latest cover girl of New York magazine’s July issue.
On her worst quality...“I project things onto situations that aren’t necessarily happening … I’ll think that someone is saying something or thinking something, and I’ll react emotionally as if that were the truth. Sometimes I think someone is whispering to someone else about me, and I get sad, and then I’m reacting like I’m sad for hours when it really isn’t happening.”
For creepy fandom, though, not much beats the YouTube video in which 49-year-old Jim Carrey leans into a home camera and sweatily proclaims his desire to provide her with “chubby, freckly babies”...“Ahahahahahahaha.” Stone shakes her head and laughs when I ask her if she’d thought about taking out a restraining order when she saw it. “Noooo,” she howls. “I was so flattered I can’t even tell you. Honest! I was really flattered, I really was!” She rests her hands over her heart. “It was actually the weirdest thing: Right before that video came out, we were at the MTV Movie Awards. Jason Sudeikis hosted—I’ve known him since I was 18, we were in The Rocker together—and we were all staying at the same hotel … There was like five of us, and we just went on this tangent of talking nice behind Jim Carrey’s back. Jason was talking about how great [Carrey] was when he went to Saturday Night Live and how he was just like a comedic genius. Everyone was kind of weighing in, like ‘He’s the best. He’s amazing.’ And so when that happened, we all kind of talked to each other like, Weird, that was the guy we were lauding for, like, 30 minutes.”
On her thoughts about Jim Carrey’s crush...“I’ve always had like weird connections with men in their forties and fifties. I mean, not in a creepy way. I’ve never been attracted to them. But I have always become, like, pals with guys in that age group.”
She was clearly ambitious—this is a kid who persuaded her parents by PowerPoint to let her move to Hollywood at age 15—but she was nervous about the scrutiny that would come with success... “I’m just trying really hard not to imagine what will happen,” she’d said last year, twisting her T-shirt nervously. “Because the way you picture things are never the way they turn out, really, ever.” On looks... “The pretty thing … It was never a value to me growing up. I always thought I was like the goofy, wonky one.”
