In the movie industry, Emma Stone needs no introduction. Since playing Gwen Stacy in the Spider-Man films, the talented actress has become a household name. Her acting in films such as La La Land, The Help, and The Favourite has made her a fan favorite and garnered numerous award nominations.
Despite her obvious success, Emma Stone has revealed that she struggles with feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt, particularly regarding the entertainment industry’s cutthroat nature.
When Emma Stone Was Jealous of Jennifer Lawrence
She said that Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence had become very good friends who cared deeply about each other. After meeting through a mutual friend, actor Woody Harrelson, Hollywood’s leading women, have since shared a deep friendship beyond their professional affiliations.
For an entire year, they exchanged daily texts and helped each other through the highs and lows of the Hollywood industry. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Emma Stone recently discussed her struggles with jealousy and self-doubt during her career.

The actress admitted she was jealous of Jennifer Lawrence and worried she would never be as successful or talented as Lawrence. Emma Stone said in the interview that Jennifer Lawrence was “so great and vibrant and talented” and was envious of Lawrence’s success.
“She may not even know this, but there was definitely a time early on when I was like, ‘Oh hey my ego is going nuts, she’s so great and vibrant and talented, I’m screwed, I’ll never work again, goodbye yellow brick road.’
One can appreciate Emma Stone’s possible sentiments. Jennifer Lawrence was already well-known as one of Hollywood’s best and busiest actresses. She was an Oscar winner with a resume including roles in successful franchises like The Hunger Games and X-Men. Meanwhile, Emma Stone was still trying to establish herself professionally.
To some extent, fans may find Emma Stone’s concerns reasonable. With an Oscar and a string of hits under her belt, Jennifer Lawrence was already well-established as a Hollywood powerhouse. Stone continued to build her career and establish herself in the field as time passed.
Emma Stone may have started envious, but she’s learned that there’s plenty of room at the top for everyone. After some soul-searching, she realized that she and Lawrence are “completely different” and that each has room to flourish.
“Then I chilled the f**k out—and remembered we’re completely different and there is room for everyone, even if it’s an industry that doesn’t really seem to support that idea up front.”
Celebrities rarely come clean about their struggles with self-doubt and jealousy. So, Emma Stone’s openness and familiarity with her own feelings of jealousy are endearing. Fans of Hollywood celebs can certainly gain a better perspective from the honesty of this kind. If nothing, it definitely serves well for a good headline.
