Acting saved Emma Stone from a complex problem: Her inspiring story
Although she has learned to handle it, the award-winning actress is still suffering from the inconvenience that brought her to the stage.
What to do with a six-year-old girl suffering from panic
attacks and anxiety? Let him develop and dedicate himself to acting. The
recipe seems unorthodox, but it was what worked for Emma Stone's
parents.
The very protagonist of the long-awaited Disney film "Cruella"
revealed the real reason why she dedicated herself to being an actress. When
Emma was six years old, she began to suffer from severe panic attacks. The
first one took place when she was visiting a friend's house, she began to
think that she was on fire, and she really suffered as if that really
happened.
This problem became more acute, preventing such common
activities as visiting and playing with little friends. So, within the
therapy - which also included having a drawing book to leave her fears there
- the specialists recommended that the little girl take theater classes. She
so she did it, and at 14 years old she decided that she wanted to dedicate
herself completely to it.
She then went to Los Angeles, lived with other hopefuls and
went through all the hardships of girls looking for an opportunity in the
movie mecca. She went hand in hand with director Judd Apatow, who suggested
she dye herself copper, so as not to be one of the blondes who took part in
the casting. Thus Emma became part of the cast of Supersalidos (2007).
And from there until filming with Woody Allen, little happened.
The legendary film director has said of her: “She is charming, beautiful,
she projects her intelligence, she maintains her youth. She is perfect.
Great. She has it all. She sings, she dances, she is sexy, dramatic and
funny. In short, she adorable”.
However, despite her success, her panic attacks and
anguish still accompany her. For example, she says that when she walked on
stage in 2016 to receive the Oscar for best actress for “La La Land”, she
did so trembling and sweating profusely, as if something bad was going to
happen. This despite the fact that every day she has more tools to cope with
her problem.
Emma Stone has learned to deal with her disorder through
meditation and therapy, and she finds dialogue in this area very helpful.
"If I can do something to say 'Hey, I understand you and I'm with you and
you can go out on the street and chase your dreams and have great
relationships with other people,' I hope I can do it," she assured
international media.
