Emma Stone Had a Meltdown During the Remake of an Iconic Scene

During the interview, the actress explained that she had developed a phobia as a kid, as she fell from 6 feet, breaking both of her arms at the same time, and left her traumatized.
“When I was about seven years old. I was in gymnastics class, and i was on these parallel bars that were about 6 feet off the ground. And I was standing on top of these bars, and the teacher was holding me by the ankles, and somehow or other she let go. And I was standing on this bar and I felt myself beginning to tip forward and I put my arms like this, and fell six feet to the ground.”

The actress then asked Ryan Gosling what happened when they first tried the iconic lift, and he shared his experience in an extremely amusing manner.
