Sharon Stone is one of the most recognized actresses and models in the world. Everything the interpreter of Basic Instinct and Irreconcilable Differences does is news, so it is not surprising that her latest interview has not gone unnoticed. In it, the superstar broke down in tears when talking about the people she admires so much that she would risk her life to walk with them.
In a new interview with Alex Salmond for Turkish Tea Talk, Stone, 66, couldn't help but get emotional when she explained how she loved the people she met in her role as a global humanitarian. Sharon cried during the talk when talking about being able to spend time with peacemakers she admired, like Betty Helena Williams, a Welsh Labor politician.
"These people are so brave... I suddenly felt like I was in the right fucking room, these are my people, I would stand on the street with these people, I would risk my life with these people," the star said through tears. "It took me 35 years, but I'm in the right room," she said of working with her heroes, a decision she's very proud of now.
It was in 1990 when Stone rose to fame with his first blockbuster film, Total Recall, with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Basic Instinct, another of her greatest successes as an actress, came out in 1992. "I never told people here in Los Angeles that I was going to get a Nobel Prize... I thought: How can I tell people in the movie business that I won a Nobel Prize?" he said, crying, remembering the award he received in 2013 for his work to benefit people living with HIV/AIDS.
On the other hand, in the interview, Sharon also addressed mental health and how so many people need help. "We're all trying to face our demons, including me," she said, noting that one in 10 people are suffering from mental health issues. The actress points out that the confinement due to covid-19 affected many people, who felt very alone.
The model also highlighted during the interview that being empathetic is very important, and gave Nelson Mandela as an example. For much of the interview she talked about her new career as a painter. Currently, she spends 17 hours a day painting in her Los Angeles mansion. Her first painting sold for $30,000. "I was really thinking about this the other day... I was thinking about how rarely women get to be what they want to be," the actress shared, about why she paints. "I loved painting when I was a little girl," she revealed.
"At 15, I was in an advanced studies program and I got a writing scholarship, and I loved writing and painting, and I didn't want to go home during summer vacation. I studied painting during the summers, I loved watercolors" , he continued explaining.
And how could it be otherwise, he also talked about Hollywood. The actress revealed which actor she always wanted to work with: Robert De Niro. When she was only 19 years old, she met him during her birthday party in New York. "He was my dream," she revealed. Some time later, Stone was cast as his wife in the film Casino (1995). About returning to Hollywood, she says the role would have to be "really good."
