Emma Stone recently shared insights into the challenges she faced while filming the much-discussed sex scenes in the upcoming movie 'Poor Things.' In the film, Stone portrays Bella Baxter, a character who undergoes a unique transformation after a scientist brings her back to life by transplanting her unborn baby's brain into her head. This unconventional premise leads to Bella developing a childlike perspective on life, which evolves as she experiences various aspects of adulthood.
Despite the attention surrounding the film's nudity and sexual content, Stone revealed that other scenes presented greater difficulties during filming. She highlighted a particular moment where Bella indulges in 60 Portuguese custard tarts, describing the experience as more challenging than the intimate scenes. Stone humorously noted that while the first bite of the tarts was enjoyable, consuming all 60 left her feeling queasy.
During a recent panel discussion, Stone emphasized that the planned nature of the sex scenes made them relatively straightforward to film. She explained that the choreographed nature of those sequences allowed the cast to execute them efficiently, knowing exactly what was required.
Stone's comments shed light on her commitment to portraying Bella authentically, despite the character's explicit storyline. She emphasized that while she isn't inclined to be nude on screen frequently, she approached the role with a dedication to staying true to the narrative.
'Poor Things' promises to offer audiences a unique and thought-provoking viewing experience, blending elements of fantasy, drama, and adult themes. Stone's portrayal of Bella Baxter is set to showcase her versatility as an actress, navigating complex emotions and character development throughout the film.
