The BEST of Emma Stone On The Graham Norton Show

Since we last saw you, Emma Stone, on the

show

, you went and won an Oscar, well done, and you know, often people on your special, you know, I never dreamed of this moment, but you did more than dream of this moment, I mean, you planned it. This wasn't so specific for that movie to be fair, no, I mean what you mean, like in terms of my childhood, yeah, when you dreamed, when you presented your proposal to your parents, yeah, this is the story that will never die well. but I know how old you are when you did it because it was amazing I was 14 I was almost 15 and I made a powerpoint presentation for my parents but this was so you wanted to move to Los Angeles and they didn't want you to go, they weren't going to let you move , it's just that well, no, they did it, they hadn't even heard the idea yet, it was like I realized, if I'm going to do it, you know, we lived about a six-hour drive from the in Phoenix, Arizona, and I I realized that I couldn't just come home my first year of high school, which is ninth grade, ninth grade, yeah, okay, and I realized that I couldn't just walk in and leave like I was moving. 14 and here I go, so I decided to make a PowerPoint presentation about why it would be a good idea for me to move to Los Angeles and follow my big dreams, but you made it like it had music and everything, yeah, it had this song. hollywood by mcdonald Were you wearing sensible pants?

I should have been in a sensible camp too. I think he was in my high school. I went to an all-girls Catholic high school, so I think I wore a plaid skirt and a collar. shirt and so so madonna playing madonna is playing and then what you just had a series of reasons why you should go a series of reasons why this would be a good idea not just at any time but now um and for some reason finally It worked and I would punish my son if he had done that but they believed in me those monsters but it's true that the presentation ended with "let me go" oh it didn't end with "um" you probably remember more of that than I did well Jessica doesn't finish, it ends with you putting up the photo and then he says

actress better it was better no no didn't he tell you that first of all my name is emily so there's no way

emma

is okay and then no?

You didn't say you were going to win an Oscar. Why are we telling this story? Why do we tell this story? What is the point of this story? That's what I do. I thought the point of this is crazy. Don't know. Pretty crazy anyway, but that would have made it like she absolutely goes somewhere and isn't there because everyone loves them together in la la land, but this isn't the first time they've worked together, they worked in a squad of gangsters and then they went crazy, but Amor, we have even seen them dance together before an interesting pose for me.

I noticed you're shirtless, so it's a double whammy, but now, what happened because the dance didn't go as planned? In a crazy and stupid love. uh no, oh yeah, give me the dirty dance lift that's what I mean yeah well we were meant to do that and then what happened oh don't you remember that well I remember but I'd like to hear you do your version listen when I was seven years old quick story when I was about seven years old I was in gym class and I was on these parallel bars that are about six feet off the ground and I was standing on top of the bars and the teacher was holding me by the ankles and somehow she let me go and I was standing on this bar and I felt like I was starting to lean forward and I stuck my arms in like that and I fell six feet to the ground and I broke both my arms at the same time, wow and Yeah, and then, then, you know, I spent a whole summer , I lived in Arizona, which is like 120 degrees, which I don't know what that is in degrees Celsius, so I had a cast and everything, you know, it was just miserable. um, it was the day before the last day of school anyway, I had internalized this again, that's really important, I really know how to tell a story anyway, years later we make crazy, stupid love, I know what we're going to do Dirty dancing lifting, I don't do it.

However, I don't know that I have an internalized phobia of being lifted over someone's head at a height of about six feet, so I run to make the left and Ryan lifts me above his head and I, what? Did I, Ryan? If this had happened, but I imagine if a possum fell out of a tree instead of trying to scratch your eyes, it would be something similar, it was a lot and then it was like a total meltdown, I mean I had a real meltdown, yeah, you had to do it. See, you crawled into bed and saw this is so stupid and then Ryan came in.

I was like, yeah, sure, and then the directors came in and we were like, yeah, sure, let's use the devil and I was like, by the way, cool. jennifer connolly has a revelation on this when you talk about camming it sounds like a litany of disasters that's what it's like to do camming um no it was just that I was sick because I would say most of the race and then I was isn't there something strange with your contact lenses? What happened? Oh, both of them, so, um, I also have the worst eyesight of anyone I've ever met, not to brag too badly, and I've only lost one contact lens at a time, but on one particular night singing, such this time I blinked and they both came out at the same time and I literally can't see so in the blackout I was just yelling Bill who was our mutual partner? star, it was like the bail bill, he had to drag me in the dark because I just didn't know how to get off stage.

Has anyone ever tried to take it? Have you worked? Oh, yeah, right, yeah, yeah, um, we've done a lot. of course, at work, yes, actually, he has an extensive training course in many corset roles, yes, yes, quite a few, yes, the first guy to make a corset. I did a production of Twelfth Night with Mark Rylance and I was playing viola and Mark was there. playing olivia and the guy who made the corsets was called luca and he was amazing and he made these corsets that were like they were made of whale bone from the 16th century and he squeezed me into them and he had worn corsets his whole life and basically his body went in in these kinds of extraordinary things.

I don't know the answer to that question, but there was a horrible moment when he, when he was, I thought, oh, I'm not going to eat much when I put on my bush and he left, I never eat, so I've felt some sympathy for the actresses, no, you understand, it was, um, can you see, can you see, I'm supposed to ask you if you were the lead. He had no inclination. board, but I would like I would just like a couch like this, I would because you can't sit down, you really can't and honestly, women existed on that for so long, which gives you a lot of sympathy for that time period. what you were going through, but for the first month I couldn't breathe, so I just smelled and Sandy Powell is the costume designer, she's fantastic, the costumes are beautiful, there's only one part that's historically accurate, but I couldn't, I would. it smelled like menthol and it kind of made me think I was in an open space so I just smelled a little bit of menthol and I was in an open space for 30 seconds and then I went back to not breathing but then about a month um my organs They changed oh my god because they have to like what you're saying the shape of their entire body changed and it was only temporary but um it was disgusting it was disgusting do you feel like they're back, are they gone? back okay they're back sure you said that like we know what happens when you hear it oh basically it's like oh that sounds like you're crackling then there's a pop and that's the bottom half of my stomach, whatever, I'm not a doctor, whatever was in there, it fell like that and then I guess it was just my ribs that stayed up.

Wow, so anyway, don't do it if yes, if you don't have to, don't do it, but I. I was grateful grateful I just want like I love doing this my lungs in my arms they just stay here's the thing uh emma for you what is the control that the Spice Girls have over you is that real yeah it's real and I feel like I've He I've been talking more about the Spice Girls on this press tour than about the movie I made in Australia. I know I cried. Did you really cry? I really did, but now, which one was I talking to you about, Melby?

And was he really talking to you? Was it a message no, was it a video message on an iPad and that made you cry yes, were you jet lagged? yeah, but you don't understand it either, I mean you understand it because we're in the UK, yeah, it was, it was a demon, it was. I'm obsessed with the Spice Girls and they taught me about girl power and I love them, I think they're fantastic and I'm what the song is, there's so many, Jamie, there's so many, hey, there's so many, and they're so fantastic, and today on the radio um mel c talked to me on skype oh oh so it's really very exciting okay who would you say is your favorite spice girl emma bunton baby Spice she's your favorite she's my favorite who's next to that just one question the other four so emma bunton well emma buntin was the one with blonde hair and bangs and my name is obviously emma now my name was emily but they took it when I became an actor um and now it's emma and uh yeah, I just love it , so give me this, so one gave you a video message and one spoke to you on skype yeah, what are you telling me?
