In a remote meeting in which Who participated, the protagonist of 'Cruella' opened up about the disorder that she overcomes every time she enters a filming set.
Emma Stone gave an acting class in her most recent film - the best live action that Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures has released to date - Cruella, in which she plays the favorite villain, known in the animation The Night of Cold Noses ( 1961) and later brought to the flesh by another great one, Glenn Close (1996).
In a remote meeting with Emma, in which Who participated, she opened up and revealed the real reason why she decided to become an actress (one of the best of her generation; this is confirmed by the fact that she is the winner of the Oscar, the BAFTA, the SAG and the Golden Globe) and "the magic" that happens to her every time she enters a film set.
Does she feel nervous before "getting into character"? Does she have any rituals to avoid pressure? Stone, who in 2018 revealed that she has been dealing with panic attacks since she was seven years old, accepted in this talk that it is precisely "putting herself in someone else's shoes" and not thinking about anything else other than that, which helps her forget general anxiety.
"(The nerves) go away as I do it (become your role). The more in the present I can be, the more they go," Emma explained and then made her most honest confession about why she embraced this career: "That's why I wanted to be actress because I'm naturally very anxious.
According to Stone, as he gets closer to the woman he plays and "the more focused she is" when improvising, doing comedy or theater, "I don't have time to think about all the other things that worry me. So I have to be in the moment. The more present I can be, the more the nerves go away."
For Emma, acting is "a great gift" because through her work "I don't get rid of the nerves, I use her presence to move through them, I guess." In Cruella she achieved her goal very well, overlooking her pressure, for example, to have monologues that demanded of her perfecting a British accent.
Stone confirmed the widespread idea that on the screen "villains have more fun" and, for her, giving life to Cruella de Vil was "very fun", although the process to achieve it was longer than she could imagine: "No It was as simple as receiving a call to interpret it. It was six years ago (that he received the offer).
"I'm serious, it was long before we shot the movie. There was kind of a brainstorm. Disney has all these characters, and there was kind of a brainstorm. And, actually, it was about a four-year process of writers different and different things that were brought to the table," Emma explained.
At some point in this extensive work, both she and those in charge of developing the plot, "we really felt that we couldn't make the movie," this because the character, Stone considered, is "so funny and interesting, that we didn't know what to do." world we wanted to explore to make a good film.
Then came the decision to show it in the punk rock era of the 70s in the United Kingdom, in a rebellious environment, of dizzying changes in music and fashion, faithfully portrayed in the footage of Cruella, with intense and reliable photography. , as well as successful curation of the soundtrack.
"I think that taking it and putting it in the 70s, it's both Cruella from 101 Dalmatians and not, because they created this whole new story for this character, with fun. I think that once Craig Gillespie (director) and Tony McNamara (screenplay) came up on board, it really got very exciting; it was, 'Oh my God, we're doing Cruella. It's amazing,'" he added.
For Emma, in addition to the pleasure of embodying this woman who remains true to herself, despite everything (one of the maximum premises in the feature film), it also meant the opportunity to be part of a project inspired by animation that has always He liked it, The Night of Cold Noses.
"I loved the cartoon, especially that the dogs looked like their owners. I always thought that was very funny; I remember as a child trying to see if the dogs actually look like their owners and, many times, they do." , and ended with the certainty that I had always "thought Cruella was a very funny character."
Cruella can be seen, since yesterday, in movie theaters in the Mexican Republic and on Disney+, in the Premier Access mode. That the premiere was on May 28 was no coincidence, since it is the day on which Cameron Boyce, who gave life to the villain's son in Descendants and who died on July 6, 2019, would have turned 20 years old.
