Emma Stone’s Unexpected Reaction to Reporter’s Heartfelt Moment Will Leave You Speechless
“Acting is therapy, especially as a kid, it was nice to have an outlet like that when I was really struggling with panic attacks,” she said to The Talks.
When asked how, she said it was all about connection.

“Performing helped me as a kid to channel my energy somewhere else, to put it out instead of turning it inward,” later adding, “Being on stage early on made me less afraid to try things that are challenging and scary.”
For the actress, acting was “a kind of suspension” of various things happening at once. As an example, she had a pinched nerve on her left side while filming La La Land and had pains shooting through her eyes every time she was ballroom dancing.
“But I still got to pour everything into it and not worry about being technically perfect,” Stone recalled.

Performing isn’t exactly the cure for anxiety, she said, but it’s a great way to change that panic-like “excess energy” into a new form. When she’s on stage, singing a song instead of reciting a monologue, the audience tends to melt away and it’s just her — transported back into her bedroom where no eyes are watching.
She reassured, “[Now], I’m not so hard on myself — a lot of it was the pressure that I would put on myself. I’ve learned that anxiety in its essence is fear.”
Her real name was met with warm reactions online
