Emma Stone's Solidarity Shave for Bugonia

In a unique pact for the film 'Bugonia,' Emma Stone agreed to shave her head only if director Yorgos Lanthimos joined her. This solidarity gesture became a significant element of the science-fiction thriller. Stone herself wielded the clippers for Lanthimos's haircut, though she found less satisfaction due to his shorter hair.

The 'Bugonia' plot centers on conspiracy theorists, portrayed by Jesse Plemons and Aidan Delbis, who believe Stone's character is an extraterrestrial. They shave her head, thinking her hair is a communication tool for her alien people, a premise deliberately crafted for the film's absurdity.

Following its theatrical debut this fall, 'Bugonia' is now accessible for digital rental or purchase. Fans can also look forward to the physical media release, including 4K UHD and Blu-ray, scheduled for December 23, offering a chance to experience the year's acclaimed performances.
