Emma Stone, the Oscar-winning actress, is once again recalling an embarrassing, but hilarious, moment involving her mother and Hollywood royalty Angelina Jolie. The story, which took place at the 2011 Golden Globes, has resurfaced after Stone, now 36, shared the cringeworthy anecdote on Vogue’s “Life in Looks” video series.

The incident occurred when Stone’s mom, Krista Stone, and Jolie, a mother of six, were seated next to each other at the awards ceremony. In an attempt at small talk, Krista asked the well-known humanitarian and actress, “Do you have any kids?” The question, which stunned Stone, was met with kindness from Jolie, who, along with her then-husband Brad Pitt, was raising six children.
“That was a really, really fun night because I brought my mom, and we sat next to Angelina Jolie, and she asked Angelina Jolie if she had any kids,” Stone explained in the video. She continued, “She completely knew! But she was like making small talk about the kids.”
The story has since become a fan-favorite, with Stone having shared it in other interviews over the years. The actress also poked fun at her own appearance from the night, noting that her spray tan made her look like “one solid thumb” and joking about her decision to match her skin tone to her peach-colored Calvin Klein dress. The anecdote, however, serves as a relatable reminder of the unexpected, and often awkward, moments that can happen when family and fame collide.
