Many actors<\/a> refuse to watch their own movies, not wanting to be confronted by the unyielding nature of their own performance, forever frozen in time and immortalised in celluloid.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It took a while for two-time Oscar winner Emma Stone to watch her own movies, but I guess when you\u2019ve racked up so much success, you get pretty confident in your abilities, no longer feeling the need to hide your head in shame, especially if you can say you\u2019ve been in acclaimed movies like La La Land, Poor Things<\/a>, The Favourite, and Bugonia.<\/p>\n

Stone had her sights set on being a star from a young age, making her film debut in the beloved 2007 classic Superbad, subsequently honing her comedic prowess by often starring in romantic slices of humour, like Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, Easy A<\/a>, and Friends with Benefits, which helped to put her on the map.<\/p>\n

However, she wasn\u2019t able to sit down and watch any of them for a while, especially 2010\u2019s Crazy, Stupid, Love, which marked one of Stone\u2019s final turns in a rom-com before she lent herself to some larger projects, like the Spider-Man series, period drama The Help, and Birdman, which earned the actor her first Oscar nomination.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, the movie was one of several collaborations between her and Ryan Gosling that was pretty well-received, yet Stone wanted it to be perfect, so much so, she believes she just put too much \u201cpressure\u201d on herself, and now she refuses to glance at it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Starring alongside a pretty stacked cast of actors like Steve Carell, Julianne Moore, Kevin Bacon, and Marisa Tomei, she was in safe hands but still unsure that she knew exactly what she was doing. \u201cI was really in love with that script, but I put so much pressure on myself. I was 20, and while we were shooting it, I was just going nuts and was like, this whole thing could fail,\u201d she explained to Variety.<\/p>\n

The film was written by Dan Fogelman, who had previously penned hits like Cars and Tangled, so she didn\u2019t need to worry, though at the end of the day, Stone was young and she didn\u2019t have as much confidence in her abilities as she does now, notwithstanding that she\u2019d led Easy A just a year before.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt felt like it had to be well-calibrated throughout, and it was the first time that I ever had to rely on myself to be able to carry all of that,\u201d the actor said, but when asked by Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet about how she felt after actually watching the movie, she replied, \u201cI haven\u2019t seen it.\u201d<\/p>\n

This led her to ask, \u201cCan you watch your stuff?\u201d revealing that she \u201ccan now\u201d, so perhaps one day she\u2019ll sit down and watch Crazy, Stupid, Love and realise that she had nothing to worry about, even if she did soon go onto projects that were much more impressive.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(Credits: Far Out \/ YouTube Still) Sat 14 February 2026 3:00, UK Many actors refuse to watch their…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":589257,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[568,185,83398,171,53,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-589256","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-actors","9":"tag-celebrities","10":"tag-emma-stone","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-movies","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116068622647619579","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/589256","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=589256"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/589256\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/589257"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=589256"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=589256"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=589256"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
