Emma Stone and her husband, Dave McCary, endured a cascade of boos from New York Mets fans over the weekend, but they got the last laugh.
The “La La Land” actor and her husband were pictured on the scoreboard during the game on Oct. 7 wearing jackets and hats of the visiting San Diego Padres, provoking a round of boos from the fans of the home team at Citi Field in Queens.
McCary, 37, a San Diego native and diehard Padres fan, raised his beer and tipped his cap amid the boos, while Stone, 33, gave a shrug and a smile before taking a sip of her beer.
They certainly enjoyed themselves in the end considering the underdog Padres beat the Mets 7-1 in that game and then eliminated New York from the playoffs with a dominating 6-0 win on Sunday night.
They now enter a series that should have plenty of celebrity sightings on the scoreboard. The Padres face off against the rival Los Angeles Dodgers in the next round.
While they were getting booed in New York, Stone and McCary were being cheered in San Diego.
“Big fans of these fans,” the Padres team account tweeted alongside photos of the couple from the game. “Hi Dave and Emma!”
“Style, grace and good taste…Emma is always welcome @PetcoPark,” Padres CEO Erik Greupner tweeted.
Stone can also take solace that she isn’t the only celebrity hearing the boos out in public these days. Mila Kunis recently received a New York welcome during an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in Brooklyn.
The “That ’70s Show” star took it in stride when she earned multiple rounds of boos for her childhood stories about pizza in a city that is a pizza mecca.
Stone also wasn’t the only celebrity booed at a sporting event over the weekend.
Kim Kardashian was shown on the big screen at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles during the Dallas Cowboys-Los Angeles Rams game and heard jeers from the home crowd.
