She refreshed his memories of filming ‘Poor Things’ and opened up about some of the interesting challenges he faced. Emma plays Bella Baxter in Poor Things.
As per people.com reports, Last week on Saturday, Emma took part in a panel at the Nominees Celebration for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures in Los Angeles, and during the conversation, she described her experience while filming Poor Things. She also faced dietary difficulties.
When Emma was asked about her sexual character in the film, she said:-
“The sexuality of Bella was another part of that, and the way that that was going to be shot and how we were going to do it and our incredible intimacy coordinator and our closed sets and all of that. In some ways, that was the easiest part because that was choreographed,”
“Those were quick. We knew exactly what we were doing.”
Stone Shared that the biggest challenge for her was realistically portraying the emotions and quirks of Bella Baxter’s character, one of which was her eating habits.
Continuing her talk, the actress said:-
“Figuring out how to walk or eat 60 Portuguese tarts, which the first bite is delicious, but by the end you really want to puke,”
“Or her seeing death and decay for the first time, much more challenging than the nudity, which is the only thing people want to seem to ask me about.”
Emma Stone’s new film Poor Things is scheduled to be released tomorrow, February 27, 2024, by Searchlight Pictures, and is also available to watch on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Hotstar…
Poor Things Update (2026)
Updated August 2026. Emma Stone’s dedication paid off — she won the Best Actress Oscar for Poor Things at the 2024 Academy Awards, an upset win over presumed frontrunner Lily Gladstone (Killers of the Flower Moon) that gave Stone her second Best Actress trophy after La La Land. The film also earned Stone a Best Picture nomination as a producer, bringing her total Oscar nominations to five. During her acceptance speech, Stone joked about a wardrobe malfunction with her gown, jokingly blaming it on Ryan Gosling’s “I’m Just Ken” performance earlier in the ceremony. The award capped a strenuous production process for Stone, whose commitment to Yorgos Lanthimos’s demanding vision — including the diet regimen referenced in this original post — helped cement Poor Things as one of 2024’s most acclaimed films.
