Emma Stone may have won an Academy Award, a British Academy Film Award, and a Golden Globe Award playing a whole host of different characters, but none of them are quite like her newest role.
Born and raised in Scottsdale, Arizona, Emma quickly rose to fame, becoming one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people in the world in 2017.
And she’s making headlines again with her new movie Poor Things – and in particular its graphic sex scenes.

After starring in a string of highly-acclaimed teen comedy films, including Superbad, Zombieland and Easy A, she’s taken on something much more adult, playing one of the “horniest legends” in cinema history.
Emma, 34, plays the film’s lead character, Bella Baxter, who is brought back from the dead by planting her unborn child’s brain into her head, before she goes on to explore her new-found sexuality in plenty of unexpected ways.
Despite the racy role, the mum-of-one has not always been as comfortable with such scenes.
We take a deep dive into Emma’s weird movie sex history.
Real slaps

The director of Emma’s 2010 film Easy A, Will Gluck, once disclosed that she delivered a forceful slap to her co-star, Dan Byrd, while filming an intimate scene.
Will explained: “Emma smacked Dan many times, and initially, as I recall, Emma didn’t want to smack him hard.
“And Dan is just such a trouper, telling her, ‘You have to keep smacking me, you have to keep smacking me!’ “And if you watch the movie, those are real smacks.”

In a separate interview about Easy A for MTV News, Emma recalled experiencing hyperventilation during the filming of a simulated sex scene – and even needed the use of an oxygen tank to recover.
She said: “Oh, for the love, I can’t even simulate sex without dying!
“I had a little asthma attack, without any prior knowledge that I had asthma, during the scene where we had to jump up and down for hours and hours screaming and yelling on the bed.”

In 2013, Emma candidly discussed her intimate scenes with Ryan Gosling in an interview with Glamour UK.
The Hollywood star played the primary love interest opposite Ryan in Crazy, Stupid, Love back in 2011.
She said: “I can still remember the first time I auditioned with Ryan for Crazy, Stupid, Love.
“My friends took me to the airport that night and when they asked me what I’d been doing all day, and I said that I’d been writhing around all over Ryan Gosling’s bed, they were like, ‘Right! Get on that plane!’ I guess that is pretty weird to hear.”
‘Great chemistry’

Andrea Riseborough, who played the secret lover of then-closeted lesbian tennis legend Billie Jean King, played by Emma, in Battle of the Sexes, opened up about her sex scenes with the Oscar-winning actress.
In a 2017 interview with Metro, Andrea said: “Emma and I knew each other well enough to feel relieved and comfortable to be doing this with each other, which is not often something you find playing opposite someone romantically.
“What’s more difficult is when you don’t have great chemistry with someone – Emma and I have great chemistry. “
‘Awfully fun’

Oscar winner Olivia Colman and Emma also discussed their on-screen intimate scenes in The Favourite.
The hit film, which portrayed Emma as Baroness Masham and Rachel Weisz as the Duchess of Marlborough, depicted the rivalry between these two cousins vying for the affection of Olivia’s Queen Anne.
And as part of it, the pair got pretty close.
Speaking at the 2018 Venice Film Festival, Olivia told Reuters : “It was awfully fun having sex with Emma Stone.
To which Emma replied: “It was really fun having sex with you too.”
Stuffing a cucumber and no shame

In Yorgos Lanthimos’ eccentric science fiction movie Poor Things, set for a January 2024 release, 34-year-old Emma has turned plenty of critics’ heads.
Geoffrey Macnab from the Independent described a notably explicit moment, stating: “Once she’s first stuffed a cucumber inside what she calls her ‘hairy business’, a new world of adventure and tragedy opens up for her.”
Yorgos mentioned that Emma “had to have no shame about her body, nudity and engaging in those scenes”, and she had understood that “right away”.
