Emotional gesture from Emma Stone along with her mother to raise awareness for breast cancer

Emotional gesture from Emma Stone along with her mother to raise awareness for breast cancer

Four years ago, she watched her 48-year-old mother suffer through 25 ‘terrifying’ weeks of chemotherapy. And in a recently-released image, Emma Stone and her triple-negative breast cancer survivor mother Krista lovingly embrace in Revlon’s first public service
campaign, Your Lips Can Save Lives.

‘It was so wonderful and special,’ Stone told USA Today of the shoot with fashion photographer Steven Klein. ‘She still has surgeries to go, and that time period is always kind of present still. So doing that [photo shoot] was just — she’s here. We’re here
together as mother and daughter.

The 23-year-old starlet continued, ‘It was hugely emotional, and I think everyone on set knew that and was hugely supportive of that.’ In the touching black-and-white portrait, which will run in the October and November issues of national women’s magazines,
Emma’s mother is seen embracing her famous daughter from behind.

Revlon Global Brand Ambassador Halle Berry will also appear in the campaign spots, directed by Darren Aronofsky, and she even co-hosted the 15th annual EIF Revlon Run in New York that Stone and her mother walked in last May. ‘We came together to spread a
message,’ Berry said in the Revlon press release.

‘We sort of did a play on how we can use our lips, while wearing lipstick, to laugh, to flirt and to spread the word about cancer and encourage other women to do the same. I hope that our message will be well received, because early detection is really one
of the best ways to fight cancer.’

Early detection saved Krista’s life as Emma pointed out, ‘because a year before at her [mother’s] mammogram she didn’t have the tumour.’ After the ‘really difficult, terrifying time’ Krista was treated, the mother-daughter duo decided to get matching blackbird
tattoos on their wrists, designed by none other than Paul McCartney.

‘We got blackbird feet,’ the Easy A star said. ‘It’s from that (Beatles) song Blackbird: "Take these broken wings and learn to fly." It seemed appropriate for the occasion.’ The Zombieland star will begin shooting Deep Tiki with filmmaker Cameron Crowe in
the spring for Sony Pictures.

‘Other than SNL, working with him has been my dream for as long as I can remember,’ the funnywoman said. ‘So it’s pretty crazy to hear that out loud.’ The romantic comedy, said to resemble Joe Versus the Volcano, focuses on a military weapons consultant
deployed to a dormant base in Hawaii to supervise the launch of a spy satellite who realizes the relationships he left behind.

But with Stone in the lead, the character will be rewritten as female. Stone will also appear in next January’s star-studded ensemble comedy Movie 43, and the animated comedy The Croods coming out next April. The Superbad star and her boyfriend Andrew Garfield
– who met on the set of The Amazing Spider-Man last year – were last seen dining at In-N-Out Burger late last month.
