Emma Stone was “a lunatic” while shooting her new movie Easy A. The actress, 21, admits she was nervous about making her debut as a Hollywood leading lady.

“I put a large amount of pressure on myself while we were shooting it,” she said.

“I was a lunatic. I broke out all over my face and turned into this crazy person. But I am so insanely grateful that this happened.”

Stone — who has landed the female lead in the Spider-Man reboot — recently revealed that she wants the tabloids to start writing stories about her life.

“I haven’t really heard any [rumors about me], but I keep encouraging people to please make some up,” she said.

“They are always so much better than the truth.”
