Emma Stone is “scared s***less” of starring on Broadway.

She said: “I’m scared s**tless! But I’ve wanted to play that part since I was, strangely, nine years old, which is way too young.”

The ‘Birdman’ star - who is in a long-term relationship with Andrew Garfield - has been “singing and dancing eight times a week” in preparation for the role, which she admits is “terrifying but fun".

While the actress admits she enjoys doing challenging work, she would also love to take some time out and start a family at some point.

Asked what kind of life she would like to have in 10 years, she told PEOPLE magazine: “Family, peace, a home and challenging work.”

Should the 'Amazing Spider-Man' star go on to have kids then she will be able to teach them all about astrology as she has admitted being fascinated by the subject.

She said: “I know way too much about it, and it’s ridiculous. I know it’s not real… but it could be. We don’t know.”
