“His ego started to swell, a classic among these American actors”: Sharon Stone made this Italian director go through hell

It’s no disrespect to Sharon Stone’s talent to say that her career peaked more than 25 years ago with her fabulous role in Martin Scorsese’s Casino. Moreover, he himself stated this in an interview with a journalist guard In 2008: “Casino was my peak.”

Nevertheless, Sharon Stone continues to tour regularly, including in foreign performances. As in Italy in 2013, for example, directed by Pupi Avati, in the film entitled golden boyHis brother, Antonio Avati.

Sharon Stone’s arrival was a big prize for this low-budget film. The brothers were especially happy that the actor agreed to play in their film, especially since his role was written with him in mind. This is where things started to get complicated…

“By the way, we have electricity in Italy!”

is quoted The Hollywood ReporterThe brothers say to the rest: A correspondence began, thick enough to write a book, between his agents and our lawyers. It was a negotiation that bordered on ludicrous, embarrassing details as if Italy were a third world country. By the way, we have electricity Italy!”

So they chartered a full train especially for him (a very nice train, Italian) from Rome to Florence. There were 200 paparazzi from the first day of shooting. “That’s where his ego began to inflate; a classic among these American actors who are a little down.” They say, not without betrayal.

Surprised by a camera belonging to a TV crew on the set, the actor disappeared and demanded that the camera be removed or the shoot would not resume. Instead of contacting the film crew directly, the actor went through a lawyer in Los Angeles, who contacted the Avati brothers the same day to share the actor’s demands…

The film’s actress, Christiana Capotondi, also says that Sharon Stone asked to buy her character’s entire wardrobe, of course, with a production credit card. Stopping occasionally at big brands like Bulgari. Not really that brand Indie friendly In terms of budget…

Regarding these allegations, Sharon Stone’s lawyer, who contacted the Hollywood Reporter, responded sharply: “None of that is true. Ms. Stone is the consummate professional.”. Close the ban.
