“I was super blonde, and my real name is Emily, but I wanted to be called Emma because of Baby Spice and guess what, now I am,” Stone told the talk show host in 2018. “So, that’s pretty messed up. It wasn’t necessarily because of her,” Stone clarified. “But yes, in second grade, did I go up to the teacher and ask her to call me Emma? Yes, I did.
