Emma Stone Frequently Mistaken for Emma Watson
Emma Stone, the Academy Award-winning actress, recently shared her experiences of being mistaken for Harry Potter star Emma Watson. During her appearance on the podcast Happy.Sad.Confused hosted by Josh Horowitz, Stone was accompanied by her co-star Jesse Plemons to discuss celebrity mix-ups.
Frequent Confusion with Emma Watson
Stone revealed that the identity mix-up with Watson is a common occurrence. She laughed while acknowledging, “It’s always Emma Watson.” This admission highlights the public’s tendency to confuse two prominent actresses with similar first names.
A Funny Mistake with Debra Messing
Stone also recounted a humorous incident that occurred shortly after her 28th birthday. Attending a performance by Alan Cumming at Carnegie Hall, Stone was approached by a fan. The fan asked to take a picture with her, thinking she was actually Debra Messing, who is nearly two decades older. Stone said:
- “I was like, ‘Oh, sorry, we’re trying to find our seats.’”
- The fan was not pleased and responded, “Well, I loved you on Will and Grace.”
Stone continued to laugh at the confusion, recalling how her friend Noah still humorously refers to her as “Debra Messing” nearly ten years later.
Plemons’ Similar Experiences
During the podcast, Jesse Plemons shared his own experiences with mistaken identities. He mentioned often being confused with various actors who have red hair. While he acknowledged the comparison to Matt Damon, he noted that people typically don’t actually believe he is Damon.
Other Celebrity Mix-Ups
Interesting comparisons in celebrity identities extend beyond Stone and Plemons. Earlier this year, Nicolas Cage revealed that he is frequently mistaken for musician Nick Cave. Such mix-ups reflect the challenges many public figures face as they navigate their fame.
Upcoming Projects
Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons are set to star in the upcoming film Bugonia, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos. This movie is a remake of the 2003 South Korean sci-fi comedy Save the Green Planet. The plot centers around two conspiracy enthusiasts who kidnap a CEO, believing she is an alien poised to threaten Earth.
