Emma Stone didn’t mind shaving her head for Yorgos Lanthimos’ upcoming film Bugonia, but the experience did make her quite emotional.
After debuting a first look at the project at CinemaCon earlier this year, a clip from the teaser showcased the two-time Oscar winner with the haircut. In her Monday cover story with Vogue, the actress opened up about the mixed experience of shaving her head for the role.
“No better feeling in the world,” she said when describing what it felt like to chop off her hair. “The first shower when you’ve shaved your head? Oh my God, it’s amazing.”
However, Stone revealed that before they executed the cut mid-shot for Bugonia, she “burst into tears in her trailer” when remembering her mother, Krista Stone, who previously shaved her head during breast cancer treatment.
“She actually did something brave,” Stone recalled thinking to herself at the time. “I’m just shaving my head.”
The logline for Lanthimos’ Bugonia reads, “Two conspiracy-obsessed young men (Jesse Plemons and Aidan Delbis) kidnap the high-powered CEO of a major company (Stone), convinced that she is an alien intent on destroying planet Earth.”
After the Poor Things star debuted her new haircut, her mother was “jealous.” She added, “My mom was like, ‘I’m so jealous. I want to shave my head again.’”
Still, not everyone in Stone’s life was keen on the haircut. Her dear friend and fellow Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence was admittedly against the cosmetic shift.
“I really didn’t want her to shave her head,” Lawrence told the outlet. “I had already lived through the Billie Jean King haircut,” she said in reference to Stone’s starring role in 2017’s Battle of the Sexes.
