Emma Stone was reduced to floods of tears during a Q&A for her new movie Poor Things in London after an autistic fan told her about his ‘lonely’ school life.

The actress, 35, became tearful on Thursday as the man poured his heart out, revealing that her old Saturday Night Live sketches got him through school.

The Amazing Spider Man star then jumped off the stage to give him a hug.

Emma, who won two Golden Globes for her role in the new film, portrays Bella Baxter, a Frankenstein-style woman brought back to life by scientist Dr Godwin Baxter.

In a Q&A session at a screening in London’s Curzon Soho, the audience member said: ‘I have been watching your career for the last 12 years. I love Poor Things. I have watched it six times.

‘You always bring electricity to the screen in every single one of your performances and everything you create is always pure and honest.

‘I have really fell [sic] in love with your heart, your confidence, your wicked strength, your advocacy for mental health and awareness. Growing up as one of the very few autistic kids in school, I felt lonely and unable to make friends. During recess I would sneak inside a computer room to watch your old SNL sketches.

‘You mentioned on a few occasions that you felt insecure when you didn’t graduate high school and didn’t go to college, but I enjoyed the comfort and the safety that you brought me during those years,’

The audience then erupted in applause.

The audience member greeted her with a huge bouquet as they held one another, crying and unable to control their emotions.

Emma privately told the man ‘that was so cute’ as they shared another heartfelt hug.

As the teary actress returned to the stage, she asked if he had a question.

He replied: ‘What is your favourite message that you are going to take on for the rest of your life from this experience?’

Emma replied: ‘I think Bella too is someone who gets to experience life in a way that isn’t defined by social constructs and she is able to take in life experiences in a completely original way.

‘She sees the good and the bad in equal measure and she is fascinated by what life has to offer and she is not like anybody else and that is deeply inspiring and so I think that is the biggest thing that has touched me most deeply.’

For the star-studded event, Emma looked sensational in a long black leather skirt, black sheer tights and a thick black vest top.
