    Emma Stone is "too afraid" of her "own mental health" to launch an Instagram account

    The 37-year-old actress much prefers being a "lurker" and looking at other people's content rather than creating a profile on the photo-sharing site in her name.


    Asked if she would ever start a lifestyle website, she told Rolling Stone magazine: "One hundred percent no.

    "That's why I don't even have Instagram. I'm too afraid of my own mental health to be engaged in that way, and that's why I'm such a lurker and love following other people's stuff."

    The Bugonia star is to feature in a brand-new commercial for Squarespace, in which the company helps her to acquire her own website domain name.

    A 30-second version of Emma's Squarespace ad will air between the first and second quarters of Super Bowl LX on Sunday (08.02.26).

    Filming the commercial led to Emma wondering why she hadn't bought her own website name beforehand, and the star admitted it was a "lack of foresight" on her part.

    She said: "I don't know what I never actually did that. Squarespace kind of had to deal with my lack of foresight.

    "So I'm very grateful they did or else the commercial really would not have worked.

    "It would have been weird if you went to EmmaStone.com and it was ... I don't even know what might have been going on over there."

    Emma is looking forward to tuning into the Super Bowl on Sunday, which will see the Seattle Seahawks take on the New England Patriots, and she is also "really excited" to see Bad Bunny headline the Halftime Show.

    She added: "I'm definitely going to watch the Super Bowl - I am very invested in it.

    "My brother was a high school quarterback, so I will be watching with him, and that'll be fun.

    "But I'm really excited for Bad Bunny, obviously."
