Emma Stone, star of Bugonia, revealed during an interview at the Venice Film Festival that she believes in aliens. Her character in the sci-fi comedy is an alien CEO, which inspired the conversation.
Stone cited astronomer Carl Sagan as a major influence, praising his brilliance and his idea that believing Earth is the only inhabited planet is “narcissistic.”
She explained, “This vast universe likely holds other life forms,” aligning with Sagan’s philosophy.
When asked if being famous makes her feel alien, she humorously replied, “How do you know I’m not an alien?” before discussing how she manages her public image versus her private self.
Her thoughtful answers mixed humor and honesty about identity and belief in the unknown.
