Emma Stone recently shared insights into her family life, revealing that her 4-year-old daughter Louise has developed an intense fascination with the soundtrack of the children’s movie KPop Demon Hunters. The actress, speaking to Rolling Stone, explained that this soundtrack repeatedly plays throughout their house, becoming a central part of their daily routine.
Stone, who is married to Dave McCary, highlighted how this obsession has captivated both her daughter and the entire family, reflecting the strong influence of the soundtrack on their household playlist.
Daily Life Filled with Nonstop KPop Demon Hunters Soundtrack
When asked about what music fills her home, Emma Stone described the constant presence of the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack. She stated,
“To be quite honest with you, the thing that we’ve been listening to day-in and day-out, non-stop around the clock, because I have an almost 5-year-old, is the entire soundtrack of KPop Demon Hunters,”
Stone said.
“It’s all we listen to from 7 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.”
This musical dedication has become a defining feature of their day-to-day life.
The Film’s Impact on Family Imagination and Play
Stone also admitted that the film itself, beyond the music, has enchanted their family to an extraordinary degree. She reflected on how deeply involved they have become, sharing,
“It’s out of control. It’s all we do,”
she said.
“It’s the entire lifeblood of this family. I also would be doing this, with or without having a 5-year-old. It has completely captured the imagination in a way that almost reminds me of, like, when I was growing up with the Spice Girls.”
The actress drew parallels between children today mimicking characters from KPop Demon Hunters and her own childhood experience identifying with Spice Girls personas.
“It’s like all we could think about, and all these kids now definitely are like, ‘I’m Rumi, and you’re Mira,’ and it’s the same way that we were like, ‘I’m Baby Spice, and you’re Ginger,’ y’know?”
she explained.
Emma Stone’s Perspective on Motherhood and Career Choices

“There’s nothing I feel luckier about,”
and added,
“She’s the greatest gift of my life, for sure.”
The experience of motherhood has also influenced how Stone approaches her acting roles. She shared that having a child has made her reconsider the impact of travel and time away from home on her family life. She remarked, “It’s streamlined everything,” going on to say,
“It’s a clichéd thing to say, but it changes everything. And simplifies everything.”
Regarding the effect of parenting on her emotional depth as an actress, Stone commented,
“I do think it unlocks different things.”
She added,
“I don’t know if it’s specifically that, but I feel everything I could possibly feel, because everything has exploded,”
indicating a broader emotional range motivated by motherhood.
Dedication at the 2024 Academy Awards
In 2024, when Emma Stone won her second Academy Award for her role as Bella Baxter in Poor Things, she took a moment to honor her family, especially her daughter Louise. After accepting the Best Actress award, Stone said,
“I really just want to thank my family. My mom, my brother Spencer, my dad, my husband Dave, I love you so much,”
before turning her focus to Louise with,
“And, most importantly, my daughter, who’s gonna be 3 in three days and has turned our lives technicolor.”
She concluded by referencing the words of her friend Taylor Swift, quoting a lyric from Swift’s song Bigger Than the Whole Sky:
“I love you bigger than the whole sky, my girl,”
expressing a deep, heartfelt love for her daughter.
