Did Emma Stone Break Her Shoulder At A Spice Girls Concert?
Emma Stone is embracing all the buzz behind her 2021 live-action Disney movie "Cruella," which chronicles the dark backstory behind Cruella de Vil. "I thought that this was a really exciting and interesting reimagining of a character that we feel like we know on a surface level," the actor told Variety. "It was fun to go deeper into what makes her tick and what makes her so evil."
While the "Cruella" movie reveals the life of Cruella de Vil pre-dalmations, Stone herself is revealing the back story behind the one injury that interfered with filming.
In a June 2 appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," Stone confirmed rumors she broke her shoulder just months before hopping on set as Cruella de Vil. "I broke my shoulder in June of 2019, and we were supposed to start filming 'Cruella' like August, or maybe even July, of 2019," said the actor. "And I broke my shoulder in two places."
Stone continued, revealing rumors about her accident. "The story became that I broke my shoulder at the Spice Girls concert — that I was on somebody's shoulders and fell and broke my own shoulder." So was the rumor true?
Emma Stone is one huge Spice Girls fan
Although Emma Stone is a notorious Spice Girls fan, the actor is now admitting the rumor she broke her shoulder at their concert is just too good to be true. "It's not true!" Stone told Ellen DeGeneres. "I wasn't on anybody's shoulders! I'd already broken my shoulder. I couldn't get on anyone else's."
As the real story goes, the "Easy A" star broke her shoulder the day before a Spice Girls concert in London. But don't fret: Stone still made it to the concert, before even finding out if her shoulder was actually broken.
"I was supposed to go to the Spice Girls concert in London, and I did go, but the night before someone had a little house party nearby," said Stone. "And this was 2019, pre-COVID, so people could all be together and mingle. And I was on, it was like a waxed floor in this house, and I slipped, and my arm went back behind me and I broke my shoulder. And then I went to the Spice Girls concert the next day, wore one of those little cuffs."
It wasn't until after Stone got her necessary dose of "Wannabe" that the celeb finally went back to the doctor to deal with her broken shoulder.
