Yep, seventy three questions to help you with your English. Super nice Emma Stone answers in this fun video. And you’re gonna practice your listening with her american accent, aren’t ya?
Let’s visit her house, shall we?
But first, would you like to know a little bit more about her?
The physically stunning actress Emma Stone first made her mark among American audiences as an ingenue, via her involvement in the massively successful comedy Superbad (2007).
The actress’s combination of deadpan comic timing and undeniable beauty made her an instant hot property in Hollywood, and she was soon appearing in comic fare like The House Bunny and Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, as well as the hugely successful horror comedy Zombieland (2009).
By 2010, Stone had earned top billing status, and was starring in her own comedy — a hilarious modern take on the Scarlet Letter called Easy A. The following year found Stone’s star rising even further in the realm of comedy with roles in Friends with Benefits and Crazy, Stupid, Love, but it also proved to be the year in which the young actress branched more full force into drama, starring in the much anticipated adaptation of the Kathryn Stockett novel The Help.
She became part of a superhero franchise when she took over the part of Gwen Stacy in 2012’s The Amazing Spider-Man, and she took a part in the period crime film Gangster Squad that same year.
Stone enjoyed a very busy 2014 that involved her returning to the part of Gwen Stacy in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and being tapped to star in Woody Allen’s period comedy Magic in the Moonlight. However, her turn as the self-destructive daughter of a middle-age actor trying to make a comeback on the stage in Birdman earned her the first Oscar nomination of her career, getting a nod in the Best Supporting Actress category.
