Overview

• Stone’s head is legitimately shaved on camera during a Bugonia scene in which her pharmaceutical CEO character is kidnapped and forced to lose her hair
• The actress broke down before filming as the shave reminded her of her mother Krista’s hair loss during breast cancer treatment
• Stone called the experience liberating, saying there was “no better feeling” than her first shower after shaving her head
• Jennifer Lawrence initially resisted the haircut but later conceded that Stone “looked beautiful” and successfully pulled off the transformation
• Bugonia will premiere at Venice and open in U.S. theaters in late October, with reports varying between Oct. 24 and Oct. 31
