Jennifer Aniston’s surprise appearance in Emma Stone’s ‘Bugonia’ revealed

Jennifer Aniston has recently made a surprise appearance in Emma Stone’s fourth movie, Bugonia.

The Easy A actress revealed that the director Yorgos Lanthimos was behind Jennifer’s masks.

Emma, who had a viral interaction with Murder Mystery actress, told PEOPLE, “He’s a huge Friends fan… really is!”

Jesse Plemons, who is also a part of new thriller movie, spoke to the outlet that it took him “a little while to come around to the idea of wearing a mask on her face on it while performing the harrowing sequence, and filming a scene where he and his co-conspirator burn the masks”.

“Now I can't imagine anything else… Watching the Jennifer mask, watching her face burn in the fire in that sequence over and over and over again,” explained Jesse.

When asked how Jennifer got permission to use her likeness in the movie, Emma disclosed that all it took was an email.

“Yorgos and I emailed her to ask permission to make sure she knew what was going to be happening, and she's amazing,” remarked the 36-year-old.

Horrible Bosses actress mentioned, “She was like, 'Go for it. Yes,' so supportive. But I don't think she's seen it yet, so hopefully she still feels that way.”

Meanwhile, Emma added that Jennifer “is half Greek,” as the actress’ late father John Aniston, was born in Crete, Greece.

“I mean, she gets it,” added Poor Things actress.
