Emma Stone, 31 years old, actress

Emma Stone is a well-known American actress who played numerous roles in successful movies. For instance, playing the role of Gwen Stacy in The Amazing Spider-Man movie.

She was born in Scottsdale, Arizona and her real name is Emily Jean Stone, but she felt more comfortable with “Emma”.

The actress said that she is always struggling with persistent anxiety, which manifests through panic attacks. 

“The first time I had a panic attack I was sitting in my friend’s house, and I thought the house was burning down. I called my mom and she brought me home, and for the next three years, it just would not stop. I would ask my mom to tell me exactly how the day was going to be, then ask again 30 seconds later. I just needed to know that no one was going to die and nothing was going to change,” said Emma.
