"Being a star is very expensive." Sharon Stone talks about the downside of popularity

"Being a star is very expensive." Sharon Stone talks about the downside of popularity

65-year-old actress Sharon Stone spoke in a new interview with InStyle about the unpleasant consequences of fame. She notes that popularity imposes new obligations on a person. The actress also starred in a photo shoot for the magazine.

As a celebrity, Stone said she can no longer fly on regular flights and must hire staff to ensure her safety and "go out in style," including security, makeup artists, stylists and publicists. "Now at least people understand that Jennifer Lawrence can't just get on a regular plane. Nicole Kidman can't jump into a Delta. Sharon Stone can't do it either, no matter how many movies she makes." "They even know me in the Amazon rainforest. What they know is tampons, Q-tips and Sharon Stone," she said. [/img]

In addition, she will be the one who gets the bill if she is dining with a group. "Being famous is very expensive. You go to dinner and there are 15 people at the table, and who gets the bill? Every time you get a dinner bill for three thousand dollars."

Stone previously spoke about her experience of searching for the ideal man on websites. She really wants to find love and meets men in different ways, including through dating apps, but not all meetings go as planned: she comes across either married men who need consolation, or drug addicts and inadequate ones.

Last fall, Sharon Stone also talked about how filming Basic Instinct revealed her “dark sides.”
