Emma Stone and director Yorgos Lanthimos embraced a unique pact of solidarity for their latest film, 'Bugonia.' Stone agreed to shave her head for the role, but only if Lanthimos would do the same. This agreement led to a shared, dramatic haircut experience between the frequent collaborators.
Footage from behind the scenes shows Stone personally buzzing Lanthimos's hair. While Stone noted her own shave felt more dramatic due to her longer hair, the act symbolized their shared commitment to the project. The film's plot involves Stone portraying a CEO whose hair is shaved as part of a conspiracy.
The hair and makeup team had to maintain Stone's buzz cut every few days for continuity throughout filming. Lanthimos revealed at a Q&A that Stone briefly experienced "cold feet" just before filming the significant scene. 'Bugonia' is set for digital release on November 25, 2025, followed by a Blu-ray and DVD release on December 23, 2025.
