Emma Stone wasn’t the least bit upset by the Oscars host Jimmy Kimmelis show joke about her film Poor things.
“Did he upset me?” Stone, 35, said The Hollywood Reporter in a profile published on Wednesday, April 24 about her reaction to the ceremony gag. “NO! I didn’t call him an idiot. …What did I say? I didn’t call him an idiot. I wasn’t mad at him at all. I’ll have to look that up.”
During the Oscars broadcast in March, Kimmel, 56, introduced footage of the Best Picture nominee Poor things. After showing a handful of scenes, the Jimmy Kimmel Live! The host quipped: “That was all the parts of Poor things We get to show on TV.”
Poor things, a sexually explicit dramedy starring Stone and Mark Ruffalo. After Kimmel’s joke about the awards show, the camera switches to Stone. Social media users claimed that the actress looked upset by the joke and speculated that she had used the word “idiot” to her husband. Dave McCary. (Stone took home the trophy for Best Actress for her role as Bella Baxter in Poor things.)
Not only does Stone deny that Kimmel’s comments offended her, but she also denies that she was offended The curse Costar Nathan Fielder doesn’t think she’s even capable of being mean or petty.
“I’m just going to say this about Emily. It’s unbelievable: Emily is always up for a joke,” said Fielder, 40 THR, using Stone’s official first name. “[She is] Almost inoffensive and that’s something you would think someone working at her level would ask, ‘Do I want to put myself in that situation?'” Do I want to do that?'”
Fielder added: “When she hears something funny, she immediately says ‘yes.’ She doesn’t consult. She doesn’t analyze. She knows what makes sense for her. I think about things; I overanalyze things and she’ll confidently say, ‘Yeah, that sounds weird.'” Let’s do that.'”
Stone and Fielder play a couple on Showtime The curse, which ended in January. Fielder co-created and co-authored the 10-part series Benny Safdie. After reading an early script, Stone was eager to enroll in the program.
“For me, gut feeling is the only way I can ever really decide anything at work,” she said THR. “In the beginning you’re just trying to work as an actor, so you take jobs and other things. Now I just feel drawn to something. It’s impossible to describe it. I just want to do it. And then when I want to do something, I can’t think of anything else. So there’s no real rhyme or reason to it.”
