Emma Stone<\/a> hasn’t always gone by the recognizable name fans know her as.<\/p>\n

The Oscar-winning actress actually went by a different name at the start of her career \u2014 but only for about six months. Stone revealed her short-lived name change during Wednesday’s appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.<\/a>“<\/p>\n

“I actually adopted a stage name for, I would say, like six months because the Screen Actors Guild, it\u2019s like the Business Bureau,” she told Colbert. “You can only have one person with that name.”<\/p>\n

“I was 16, and I decided I wanted to be Riley for like six months,” Stone added. “So I was Riley Stone.”<\/p>\n

EMMA STONE WANTS TO BE CALLED BY HER REAL NAME: ‘I CAN’T DO IT ANYMORE’<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Stone admitted she had a hard time adjusting to her new name and often didn’t realize people were talking to her on set.<\/p>\n

“I did an episode, like a guest part, on \u2018Malcolm in the Middle,\u2019 and they kept going like, \u2018Riley! Riley!\u2019 And I had no idea who they were talking to. Truly,” she explained. “And I was like, \u2018I cannot be Riley.\u2019”<\/p>\n

“It came out of nowhere. I was just like, \u2018Cool name. I\u2019ll just be Riley.\u2019 So I then changed it to Emma because it\u2019s close enough to Emily,” she explained.<\/p>\n

Stone previously revealed where she got the inspiration for the name Emma, which isn’t actually her first name.<\/p>\n

“So growing up, 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,” she said on an episode of “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Stone began acting in her teenage years, seeing a breakthrough with roles in “Superbad” and “Zombieland.”<\/a><\/p>\n

She later landed a leading role in the teen comedy “Easy A.”<\/p>\n

The actress continued to land roles in large films, including “The Help,” “The Amazing Spider-Man” and more.<\/p>\n

Throughout her career, Stone has firmly established herself as one of Hollywood\u2019s top actresses. She won the Academy Award<\/a> for best actress after starring in “La La Land” in 2016, alongside Ryan Gosling. Stone won the coveted award again in 2023 with her role in “Poor Things.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
