Emma Stone made her on-screen debut in 2005 and after a few minor television roles, the actor made her movie debut in 2007 starring alongside Jonah Hill and Michael Cera in the teen comedy Superbad. The actor has been unstoppable ever since claiming several credits and accolades to her name.
The desire to be an actor has been embedded in Stone since her childhood. The La La Land actor has auditioned for the Nickelodeon comedy sketch show All That. Certainly, the actor later became one of the most sought-after actors in the industry but her audition for the tryout role holds an interesting story.
Emma Stone Auditioned For All That
At the tender age of 12, Emma Stone showed a desire for acting as she went on to audition for All That. In fact, the actor has auditioned preparing three original characters for the show which includes a demonically-possessed babysitter and a cheerleader who couldn’t spell what she was cheering. Appearing on a The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon episode, the actor revealed the story of her audition for the show. “When I was, um, 12, I auditioned for All That,” Stone told Jimmy Fallon. “I went to an open call for All That. We drove out from Arizona and I auditioned for all that when I was 12 years old,” she added. However, Stone was unaware that she had to come up with three characters on her own.
“I thought they were going to give us sketches. And then five minutes before I went in the room they said, ‘You need to have three characters when you come in the room.’ So I was like, ‘Okay,’ and then I made up a couple of characters.”
Stone developed three characters on the spot and performed it. “It was a pretty special experience,” she said. But she couldn’t get in the show.
Emma Stone Developed Weird Characters For The Audition
It was not going in her direction when she found out that the participants had to develop three characters. But Stone did not skip the audition instead she developed three characters on the spot in an attempt to debut in the show. “I remember that one was a cheerleader that couldn’t spell what she was cheering,” Stone told Fallon.
“And then there was another one that was actually pretty nuts that was a babysitter who is possessed. So as she’s reading books to the kids, she’s like, ‘and then Goldilocks and the (demon voice) three bears,’ and she catches her head, and is like, ‘Sorry about that. Sorry about that.’ And then would keep reading.”
Stone’s original characters did not work out and failed to get into the show that launched Nick Cannon, Kenan Thompson, and Amanda Bynes. Although she could not make it to the beloved Nickelodeon show, she’d later forge a splendid career becoming Hollywood’s A-lister as well as winning an Oscar.
Stone is set to appear in Yorgos Lanthimos’ steampunk black comedy fantasy Poor Things, scheduled for theatrical release on December 8, 2023.
