Oscar winner Emma Stone has transformed from one of Hollywood's most-loved actresses to a powerhouse movie mogul along with writer-husband Dave McCary, and RadarOnline.com can reveal the La La Land star fears their four-year marriage will collapse under the strain of conquering the film business.
The Easy A star, 36, and the former Saturday Night Live scribe, 39, launched Fruit Tree Productions in 2020, and have shared huge success, scoring a deal with Universal Pictures and producing eight TV shows and movies, including this year's film awards darling A Real Pain.
Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt's past business woes haunt Emma Stone as marriage pressures mount.
While The Amazing Spider-Man actress now wields incredible clout as a producer of films she also acts in, including the upcoming Cruella sequel – a friend fears that success is adding a slab of pressure to her marriage.
A source said: "Emma has wondered, even with their success, if it was a good idea to become business partners with Dave.
"These days, their conversations are more boardroom than bedroom, and that zaps the spice out of a marriage.
"And she knows what these film partnerships have done in other Hollywood couples."
