Emma Stone Says She Believes Aliens Exist

Emma Stone expressed admiration for astronomer Carl Sagan and connected her belief in extraterrestrials to his philosophy during the press event for her sci-fi film Bugonia.

  • During a Venice Film Festival press conference, Stone said she believes in extraterrestrial life on Aug. 28, drawing laughter and curiosity from attendees.
  • Ahead of its theatrical bow Oct. 24, Bugonia centers on a CEO abducted by two conspiracy-obsessed men who believe she is an alien intent on destroying Earth, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos.
  • Citing Carl Sagan, astronomer and science communicator, Emma Stone explained that assuming we're alone is "a pretty narcissistic thing to think," and joked about possibly being an alien herself.
  • Following the premiere, observers said Bugonia received a six-minute standing ovation after its Thursday night premiere, and Stone's candid admission adds a playful twist that could boost audience interest.
  • Stone told Extra that `Honestly, I loved the script, but the biggest draw for me was Ari` as Bugonia reunites her with director Yorgos Lanthimos for their fifth collaboration.
