Emma Stone Speaks About Her Disappointment and Depression After Losing a Role in Heroes to Hayden Panettiere

Emma Stone revealed her disappointment and depression after failing to secure a role in NBC’s hit series “Heroes,” which ultimately went to Hayden Panettiere.

Oscar-winning actress Emma Stone recently shared her experience auditioning for a role in NBC’s popular series “Heroes.” She revealed that at the time, she was very excited and believed she had a strong chance of securing the role of Claire Bennet. However, the role ultimately went to Hayden Panettiere.

Stone stated, “It was one of the biggest disappointments of my career back then. I felt really sad and a bit depressed.” Instead of letting it affect her negatively, she decided to keep pushing forward and seek other opportunities in the film industry.

Over time, Emma Stone’s career continued to flourish with major roles in films such as “Easy A,” “La La Land,” and “The Favourite.” Meanwhile, although “Heroes” was a hit during its time, Hayden Panettiere’s career did not reach the same heights as Stone’s in later years.
