Emma Stoneâs life may seem perfect from the outside, but the actress admits in a new interview that itâs notâand, she points out, neither is yours.
Thatâs why the La La Land star says she canât stand looking at the flawless pictures people regularly post on Instagram. âIt makes me so crazy to look at social media,â she tells . âWhen you see people like, 'This is the best life ever! I couldn't be happier,' you're like, 'Shut up, that is not true.'â

âNot everything comes together in the best way ever, every day. It just doesn't,â she says. âEven when your dream you set out for comes true, it's not always perfect... That's not the reality of life."
Case in point: Even though sheâs a successful actress, Emma admits that she still grapples with the awkwardness that artists often feel. "I had that like yesterday at 4:30," she says. "I think that might be the life of a creative person, the ups and downs and security and insecurity. That's the lot in life when you're pushing yourself and always hoping to keep growing and expanding. It's emotionally tricky."
