Emma Stone Left Marvel Star Willem Dafoe Redfaced, Slapped Him Over 2 Dozen Times During Filming This Movie To Make it Look Authentic: “There’s this instinct to perform”

Acting is a craft that requires a great deal of dedication and commitment, and for some actors, that commitment means going to great lengths to ensure their performances feel as authentic as possible. Emma Stone is one such actor, known for her dedication to her craft and willingness to push herself to the limits to achieve the best possible results. In a recent project, the actor left Marvel star Willem Dafoe red-faced and slapped him over two dozen times during off-screen scenes to make it look more realistic.

Willem Dafoe is an American actor. He has appeared in numerous films, stage productions, and television shows throughout his career.

While off-screen, Emma Stone allegedly slapped co-star Willem Dafoe over two dozen times to make a scene look more real. The American actor has brushed it off as part of the job, but the incident raises important questions about the price of authenticity in method acting.

Recently, the actors and director Yorgos Lanthimos discussed the procedure in a profile for The New York Times. The Times claims that the actor, who portrays Dafoe’s daughter in the motion picture, had to slap Willem Dafoe in the face during a scene. The American actor urged Emma Stone to slap him to make the action seem more realistic.

During the scene, the actress ended up slapping him about 20 times. According to Emma Stone, who spoke to The Times, “There’s this instinct to perform that many performers have—the ‘Look at me, look at me!’ kind of performer.” He stands in opposition to that.
