Emma Stone Confirms One-Take On-Camera Head Shave for Bugonia
The actor confirms a one-take, practical on-camera shave timed with the film’s wide release.
Overview
- The haircut scene was filmed in a single take with four cameras and no CGI, with Stone’s real hair visible on the car seats.
- Co-star Aidan Delbis performed the shave during the sequence.
- Stone said she focused on staying perfectly still to avoid ruining the lone take.
- Director Yorgos Lanthimos said he wanted Stone to keep the buzz cut after filming, which she declined.
- Bugonia opens in wide release today after a U.S. limited run on October 24, with UK cinemas debuting the film and promotional events including a bald-only screening in Los Angeles.
