Emma Stone’s Personal Experience
Earlier this year, Emma Stone candidly shared her experience of shaving her head for her role in Bugonia. In an interview with Vogue, she described the transformative experience as “like no better feeling in the world.” However, it was also emotional for her, as she recalled thinking of her mother, Krista Stone, who had previously shaved her head during breast cancer treatment.
