At the Venice Film Festival, actress Emma Stone expressed her belief in extraterrestrial life while promoting her latest film Bugonia. During a press conference, Stone revealed she was influenced by the late scientist and philosopher Carl Sagan, stating, “The idea that we are alone in this vast expanse of the universe — truly not that we’re being watched but that we’re alone out here — is a pretty narcissistic thing to think.” The Oscar-winning actress then directly declared, “Yes, I’m coming out with it. I believe in aliens.” Stone’s comments came as she discussed her role in Bugonia, where she plays a CEO kidnapped by conspiracy theorists who believe she is an alien. The film was directed by Stone’s frequent collaborator, Yorgos Lanthimos, who also made Poor Things and The Favourite.
