Emma Stone is revealing which of her former costars she believes is out of this world.**

No, literally. In the spirit of her new film *Bugonia*, which sees her character kidnapped by two men who suspect that she’s an alien, the Oscar-winning actress was asked during Wednesday’s episode of* The Late Show* to identify the celebrity she thinks is most likely to be an alien secretly posing as a human. **

“Willem Dafoe,” Stone replied without hesitation. “Hundred percent.”

Her speedy response caught host Stephen Colbert’s attention. “You did not have to think about that very long,” he noted, to which Stone fired back, “It’s so simple. I mean, don’t you — of course.” **

She continued, “If it was like, Willem Dafoe’s actually an alien everyone would be like, ‘Yeah! Obviously. And a great one!’” She said. “Like, if they’re all like Willem, bring ‘em on! Land upon Earth, please!”

Colbert could get on board with that idea. “He’s an alien in a very well-fitted man suit,” he said. Stone added, “My favorite alien.” **

Stone and Dafoe have previously worked together on two Yorgos Lanthimos-directed films: 2023’s* Poor Things*, for which Stone won an Oscar, and 2024’s *Kinds of Kindness*. They also both share a connection to the Spider-Man universe, with Stone starring as Gwen Stacy — the late love interest of Andrew Garfield’s version of Peter Parker — and Dafoe playing Norman Osborne/the Green Goblin in the Tobey Maguire-led films.

As part of her *Bugonia* role, Stone shaved her head and began wearing wigs to events to conceal her new look. However, as she admitted to Colbert, she may not have done the best job at convincing everyone that her hair was real. **

“I’m so unsubtle and just generally stupid that I was like… the wig looked good, but the whole night I was like, ‘Can you tell it’s a wig?’” she said, making a show of pretending to move her hairline. “To everyone! And they were like, ‘We’re pretty sure she’s wearing a wig, since she moved it around a lot.’”

However, Stone is a big proponent of having a shaved head.

"It felt so good. Taking a shower with a shaved head is unbelievable," she confessed. "And every time you’re thinking, you really run your hand over your head. I miss it!”
