Kieran Culkin discusses about great camaraderie with Emma Stone

Kieran Culkin has recently discussed about his great camaraderie with Emma Stone.

In a new interview with The Rolling Stone, the Succession actor, who dated Emma from 2010 to 2011 while filming Paper Man movie, said, “It's funny to even say ex,” with reference to the Poor Things actress.

“To me, she’s just a really good friend of mine and my wife’s. She’s lovely and great,” remarked the 41-year-old.

Kieran gushed over Emma’s acting career, recalling, “I was right at the beginning of the huge launch; I got to watch all that firsthand.”

“And I remember at the time that I was a little more aware of the direction she was going than she was. She would be like, ‘Oh my god! I just got this opportunity…’ And I'd be like, ‘Yeah, but of course you did! Everyone loves you and you're great.’”

Kieran revealed when Emma was asked to host Saturday Night Live for the first time, which led her to “letting out a blood-curdling scream on the phone”.

“I came running over thinking somebody had died, and she’s weeping, and I’m rubbing her back thinking I have to get a Scotch ready for her or something, and she was like, 'I’ve just been asked to host SNL!’ And I gave her the biggest hug’,” explained the actor.

Kieran added, “It was so great to be a part of that moment because that was her life goal, to host SNL, and she achieved it at 21. She didn’t think she was in that field and I was like, ‘Of course you are!’”

Meanwhile, Emma served as a producer on Kieran’s new movie, A Real Pain, which was reportedly premiere at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival.
