Back in April,Emma Stonesharedher wish to go by her real name instead of a stage name.
The actor was born Emily, but as shetoldthe Hollywood Reporter, she had to change her name because someone else in the industry was already named Emily Stone.
She’s gone by Emma ever since, until recently when she decided to reclaim her birth name. “For some reason, I was like, ‘I can’t do it anymore. Just call me Emily,'” she told THR. She also said people at work even call her Emily once she “get[s] to know them.”
So, fast-forward totoday, Emma was at aCannes Film Festivalpress conference for her upcoming filmKinds of Kindnesswhen a reporter called her by her first name.
Emma lit up when the reporter said it. Director Yorgos Lanthimos, who was sitting next to her, tried to correct the interviewer, thinking they’d confused her name, but Emma assured Yorgos the reporter had gotten it correct. “My name is Emily. Thank you,” she said, smiling. “Very nice.”
People online thought it was the sweetest, most adorable thing, with one fanwritingon Reddit, “Well, that’s just wholesome!”
“That’s actually adorable though,” another agreed, while someone else said, “She’s ‘Emily’ to me from here on out.”
