Emma Stone first worked with Woody Allen in 2014’s Magic in the Moonlight, and she teamed up with the director a second time in Irrational Man, which hits theaters next Friday. In Irrational Man, Joaquin Phoenix plays a philosophy professor who suffers an existential crisis and begins an affair with a student, who is played by Stone. The actress said in an interview, “I’m hesitant to give away the movie because the trailer makes it look like a lighthearted romp, but I don’t think it is a lighthearted romp!” The actress also discussed one certain scene where she plays piano for Phoenix’s character. Stone explained, “I brought my mom to watch the movie and she burst out laughing through the whole scene. She was just hysterically laughing. She was like, ‘You play the piano? Yeah, right! What are you doing? How does anyone believe you?'”
