Who doesn't adore that Dirty Dancing scene in Crazy, Stupid, Love with Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling?
Apparently, Emma didn't.
During The Graham Norton Show, Emma gave her backstory as to why they had to use a stunt double for the romantic comedy.
The La La Land actress explained that she was taking gymnastics as a 7-year-old, when this "internalized phobia" developed.
"I was on these parallel bars that are about six feet off the ground," said Emma. "I was standing on top of the bars and the teacher was holding me by the ankles. And somehow or other, she let go."
Emma broke both her arms.
"Years later, we do Crazy, Stupid, Love. I know that we're going to do the Dirty Dancing lift," she said.
When she ran over to be lifted by Ryan, what did she do, according to her co-star?

"I never had this happen, but I imagine if a possum fell out of a tree and tried to scratch your eyes out, it would be something similar," Ryan told audiences.
Not only did Emma have "a full meltdown," she retreated to watch Labyrinth.
Ryan chimed in, "You crawled in bed and watched Labyrinth. We were in the house, and she was like, 'I have to go watch Labyrinth.'"
