AS SHE SCOOPS BEST ACTRESS AT THE GLOBES EMMA STONE ON WHY SHE WAS SHOCKED TO WIN - AND WHY SHE'LL NEVER LOVE ANOTHER ROLE MORE

As Emma Stone adds one more glittering award to her already impressive collection – an Oscar, a Bafta and another Golden Globe, among others – the star can reflect happily on the film that reunited her with one of her favourite directors, as well as giving her one of her most rewarding roles.

Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, Poor Things tells the story of Bella Baxter, a dead Victorian woman who is brought back to life by a brilliant scientist, only to run away with a lawyer, played by Mark Ruffalo, on a voyage of self-discovery and sexual awakening.

Based on Alasdair Gray’s novel of the same name, the quirky, fantastical film with Frankensteinesque overtones is Emma’s second collaboration with the Greek director, with whom she worked on the Oscar-winning The Favourite.

ONE-OFF ROLE

“She’s hands-down my favourite character ever. I know that I will probably never get to play a character like her ever again, which is heartbreaking to me,” says Emma, 35, who was “shocked” to win the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy.

Her escapade with Ruffalo’s character, the debauched Duncan Wedderburn, is central to the film and includes some erotic scenes, which the stars took in their stride.
