Emma Stone: She could have been on 'Heroes'
29 Jun 2011, 9:59 pm

Emma Stone confesses to Vanity Fair in a new interview that she hit a "rock bottom" moment in Hollywood a few years ago. And when was that moment? When she realized she would not be cast as cheerleader Claire Bennet in the NBC series "Heroes."

Stone — appearing in three movies this summer, not to mention the upcoming "The Amazing Spider-Man" — tells the magazine that she very quickly realized she had no shot at becoming the subject of the catch phrase "Save the cheerleader, save the world."

"I could hear that, in the other room, a girl had just gone in and they were saying, 'You are our pick … On a scale of 1 to 10 you're an 11,'" Stone says. Hayden Panettiere eventually exited said room.
