Emma Stone joined Druski during his opening monologue on Saturday Night Live, joking about his mistaken belief that they played love interests in their upcoming film, The Catch.
The 38-year-old actress, who has hosted the programme five times, appeared on stage as Druski spoke about making his first film alongside her on Saturday night.
“I am living proof you can bet on yourself and make your dreams come true,” Druski said. “I just finished filming my first-ever movie with Emma Stone and she is right now.”
When Stone joined him, Druski said: “I’m actually playing her love interest in the new movie that we just did.”
Stone replied: “I think you might have misread that in those scenes, because we weren’t love interests in the film. But now it is starting to make more sense why you kept looking at me like that for all those scenes.”
“That’s probably why we ain’t kiss either,” Druski added, prompting Stone to respond: “Yeah.”
He then joked: “If there’s a part two, we’ll get it done.” Druski also said he loved Stone in Bugonia, before adding, “No, I just wanted to be the first Black guy to say it,” when she asked whether he was serious.
What is The Catch about?
The Catch is being directed by Stone’s husband, Dave McCary. Plot details are being kept under wraps, but the film is said to be a baseball romantic comedy in the vein of Bull Durham and Notting Hill.
Stone plays “the most hated woman in baseball”, while Druski is set to portray her security guard. Chris Pine also stars, alongside Saturday Night Live’s Ashley Padilla, who plays Stone’s sister.
