Seems
like
'Basic
Instinct'
star
Sharon
Stone
is
throwing
starry
tantrums
these
days.
Italian
director
Pupi
Avati,
who
was
happy
to
team
up
with
Sharon
Stone
in
his
low-budget
movie
"Golden
Boy",
says
the
actress
was
a
demanding
diva
on
the
set
and
gave
him
a
hard
time.
Avati
was
thrilled
that
Stone
agreed
to
act
in
the
film,
until
her
representative
reached
out
with
a
lengthy
list
of
demands,
reports
hollywoodreporter.com.
"It
was
a
negotiation
that
bordered
on
ridiculousness,
concerning
embarrassing
details,
as
if
Italy
was
a
third
world
country.
By
the
way,
we
do
have
electricity
in
Italy," said
the
director
whose
brother
Antonio
Avati
has
produced
the
movie.
Apart
from
the
other
things,
Stone's
refusal
to
shoot
an
intimate
scene
in
front
of
a
television
crew
annoyed
the
director.
When
she
saw
a
television
crew
and
photographers
filming
a
scene,
she
allegedly
left
the
set
unannounced.
"Then
my
brother
received
a
phone
call
from
Los
Angeles
from
her
manager.
She
wouldn't
come
back
on
the
set
until
the
photographers
and
especially
that
damned
TV
cameramen
had
gone
away.
Obviously
we
did
so
and
she,
like
nothing
happened,
shot
the
scene.
"The
thing
that
I
found
most
absurd
is
that
she
had
to
call
to
the
States
and
to
close
herself
in
a
car,
instead
of
coming
to
ask
us
directly,"
Avati
said.
However,
Stone's
representative
denied
the
allegation.
"None
of
this
is
true,"
a
representative
for
Stone
told
HuffPost
Entertainment
in
an
email.
"Ms.
Stone
is
the
consummate
professional."
Meanwhile,
this
isn't
the
first
time
someone
has
alluded
to
Stone
being
difficult
to
work
with.
