Emma Stone

Emma Stone is really pushing the envelope with her role in Poor Things. Defending her involvement in a movie that blurs some pretty bold lines is a bold move. Tackling an ‘adult scene’ is one thing, but endorsing a story where a character, depicted as an infant, is romantically entangled with a 55-year-old man?

It’s a bizarre and frankly uncomfortable twist, even for someone as talented as Stone. While she’s known for choosing roles that challenge the norm, this particular choice might be a wild swing in the dark. It’s the kind of weird that makes you question not just the movie but the direction Hollywood is headed.
