Emma Stone has admitted that eating a ton of Portugese tarts on her film Poor Things made her “want to puke”.
The 35-year old actress, who stars as resurrected woman Bella Baxter in the 2023 flick, explained that gorging on as many as “60 Portuguese tarts” at a time understandably left her feeling queasy. But the pastries might have paid off as Emma is up for the Best Actress Oscar at next month’s 96th Academy Awards.
Speaking as part of a panel at Saturday’s Celebration of the Nominees for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures in Los Angeles, Emma 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.”

She continued: “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.”

Indeed, Emma previously revealed she was “naked all the time” on set to “honour” her horny character. And from “stuffing” apples and cucumbers in her “hairy business” to bonking fellas as a prostitute, it’s safe to say sex plays a central role in the film, which was released to widespread critical acclaim last month.
It follows Bella who has her unborn children’s brain implanted in her head after she dies – on her road to rediscovery. The movie hasn’t come without controversy, meanwhile, with one sex scene leading to the British Board of Film Classification deciding it needed to be in order for it to be legally shown in the UK.

Emma went on to add, however, that the sexual scenes were a walk in the park compared to the unsavoury aspects of the role. “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,” she said.
“In some ways, that was the easiest part because that was choreographed. Those were quick. We knew exactly what we were doing.”

In contrast, co-star Mark Ruffalo recently revealed he was worried he was “too old” to star in sex scenes alongside Emma. Avengers star Mark, 56, plays wayward lawyer Duncan Wedderburn, who seduces Bella away from her life in London to tour the world with him. In graphic scenes, the pair are seen enjoying themselves in various positions around a hotel room, fully naked.
But despite earning his acting chops long ago, Mark was worried about the new role. He confessed to Perfect magazine: “I didn’t know if I could pull this off. I’ve never done anything like this before. So, like, the sex scenes… Am I too old to be doing that kind of stuff? Does anyone want to see that?”
