Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone's First Meeting Was Nearly Intercepted by a 'Stalker'
Well, this won’t convince you to see an orchestra anytime soon, that’s for damn sure.
Appearing in a new video for W magazine, Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone fondly reminisced about the time they both believed they might’ve not been texting with each other in the early stages of their friendship, but rather a peculiar “stalker” who attempted to charm them with his musical capabilities. Allow us to explain.
“We both had the same stalker. His name was John the Orchestra Guy. He would ‘accidentally’ text us,” Lawrence recalled in the video with a laugh. “He wasn’t really a stalker. He was this guy who had a lot of people’s numbers. He must’ve worked at a studio or as an agent’s assistant or something,” Stone clarified. “He texted me and said, Hey, Alex—making up a name. I’m running late on my way to the sound stage. Can you warm up the orchestra for me? Make sure the orchestra’s warmed up for me. It was always about the orchestra. Can you text me back and let me know you get this? John.“
Both Stone and Lawrence were unaware at the time that this industry “stalker” was simultaneously texting both of them—again, they were only in a text-based friendship at that point—but it came to light when the duo finally decided to meet and hang out in-person. “We had been texting every day for a year, but we’d never talked on the phone and we’d never met,” Lawrence recounted. “Then we were finally going to meet and she sent me her address and I’m driving over, and on the way over, I’m like, Oh my god, what if this is John the Orchestra Guy? She thought when I was on the way over, Oh my god, what if this is John the Orchestra Guy? So then I called you and we were like…hello? That’s the first thing we had in common. We’ve all been there, right?”
Can’t say we’ve all been there—but these two are just the absolute best that we don’t even care. Check out the full video, below.
