\n\tEmma Stone<\/a> stars in Yorgos Lanthimos\u2019s Bugonia<\/a> in a role where she had to shave her head.<\/p>\n

\n\tFilming the scene had to be done in one take, which made the Oscar-winning actress \u201cso afraid\u201d to mess it up.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cStay still. That was it. I was meditating on stay still, just stay still,\u201d Stone told Entertainment Weekly<\/a> about what she was thinking while filming that scene.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn Bugonia, Stone plays a high-powered CEO who is kidnapped by two men who suspect she\u2019s an alien. The kidnappers believe her hair could be a communication device and shaved her head so she remains contactless.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cBecause I am not awake there, I was like, play dead, basically, play dead,\u201d Stone said about filming the pivotal scene and being \u201cso afraid\u201d doing so.<\/p>\n

\n\tStone added, \u201cIt was one take and there were four cameras set up just to make sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tLanthimos said it was not difficult to convince Stone to shave her head, adding, \u201cI mean, it was in the script, so I didn\u2019t even have to tell her. She read it first, and she had the slightest hesitation just before, not hesitation to do it, but she had kind of a knot in her stomach. But it happened. Thankfully, we did it. We only had one shot to achieve it. And then she felt great. She saw herself and she really loved it, and she felt very free.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBugonia also stars Jesse Plemons, Aidan Delbis, Stavros Halkias, and Alicia Silverstone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Emma Stone stars in Yorgos Lanthimos\u2019s Bugonia in a role where she had to shave her head.
