Emma Stone is known forbeing utterly hilarious and fiercely private about her personal life so whenshe sat down for a recent interview it was no surprise that her answers toquestions about her relationship with Andrew Garfield were both funny and defensive.
"See, I never talk about this stuff for thisexact reason — because it's all so speculative and baseless," she tells the WSJ. Magazine in response to breakup rumors of her three-year-longrelationship. "Once you start responding — once you're like, 'No, that'snot true' — then they're like, 'Well, if we push enough, we'll get a comment,so let's see what else we can make up.'"

The 26-year-old continues: "I understand theinterest in it completely, because I've had it, too. But it's so special to methat it never feels good to talk about, so I just continually don't talk aboutit."
Hercomments come after she was photographed carrying a bag with Andrew's name onit, something the starlet was aware of. "When I picked up the bag, I waslike, 'This is kind of funny if there are any [paparazzi] out there,'" sheconfesses. "There’sprobably some rebelliousness that comes out in me after all these stories andpeople texting you for weeks about something that, for the most part, is nottrue. But even when it’s false, I would rather just let it be false.”

Again admitting to beingoverly protective, the Aloha actress said she deleted her entire inbox when heremail address and cellphone number were published on WikiLeaks after the Sony hacking debacle. “I was gettingall these emails and texts from people I didn’t know — ‘Hi, I’m Joe from the U.K.I like your movies ’— and I was so overwhelmed that I went to my inbox, and Ideleted all my emails," says Emma. "In about a 30-second span, I hit ‘Select All’ and‘Delete Forever,’ and thousands of emails, like six years of emails, are nowgone forever. I was just so freaked out that someone was in there."
She adds: “It was horrible. I cried forlike an hour. Most of the emails I’m mourning I can still talk to the personand get them back. But there’s others where the person is actually gone. Itreally sucks.”
When asked exactlyhow many unknown messages she had received, Emma shyly admits, "It was probably five emails and five texts. Ijust went there.”
She also went there when revealing who she would choose: Ryan Gosling or Bradley Cooper. Watch the video to find out her answer:
