Emma Stone went through a difficult acting challenge, portraying a minor character in a gay porn film, in the “Saturday Night Live” sketch “The Actress.”

Stone, who hosted the episode, portrayed Grace, an actress who is challenged with the task of playing a woman whose husband cheats on her with her godson. The role of the husband is played by MEN.com performer Ty Mitchell.

Grace takes the role very seriously and names her character Deirdre. While the director says the character doesn’t have a backstory and exists only to be cheated on, Grace digs deep in the moment when she catches her husband and godson in the act.

“I saw the rich and beautiful backstory of this woman: her childhood, her first job, the night she met Jared, the promises she was told, her godson’s 18th birthday, and all the other times she was blindsided by life. I felt the bruises and scars of her past; I saw what led her here, and I saw her in the present, walking in on the love of her life with her godson. And then Deirdre took over and said, ‘Jared, I forgive you,’” Grace says in the voice-over.
