Sharon Stone: A Single Mom’s Journey on the Red Carpet with Her Sons
SHARON STONE: MOTHER, ACTRESS, AND VOICE FOR THE VOICELESS
In a glamorous display of family bonding and cinematic excellence, Sharon Stone stepped onto the red carpet with her three adorable adoptive sons by her side at the Los Angeles premiere of her latest film, Nobody 2. The stunning 67-year-old actress, who has been a household name for decades, radiated confidence and poise as she made her way to the TCL Chinese Theatre.
Stone's latest outing is a dark comedy from Universal Pictures, where she plays the captivating role of Lendina opposite Christopher Lloyd, Bob Odenkirk, Connie Nielsen, and Colin Hanks. The movie follows the story of "suburban dad" Hutch Mansell (Lloyd), a former lethal assassin who finds himself pulled back into his violent past after thwarting a home invasion.
But what's even more fascinating is Stone's journey as a mother to her three sons, Roan (25), Laird (20), and Quinn (19). When she appeared on Late Night With Seth Meyers earlier this week, the Oscar-nominated actress opened up about the values that have guided her parenting style. "I wouldn't have survived [without these values]," she confessed. "I wouldn't be a sober, healthy, working mom who was able to take three adopted kids – which is just different, let's just say – and do it by myself with the help of wonderful nannies if I didn't come from grounded, moral values."
However, Stone acknowledges that motherhood has not been without its challenges. "My kids were off school during COVID. We all went through this," she shared. "Our kids are online and then they're confused about their value systems. It's been a complicated period to raise children." The actress candidly discussed the difficulties of parenting during a global pandemic, where children struggled to navigate the complexities of life.
But on Monday night, as Stone walked the red carpet with her sons, it was clear that she couldn't be prouder of their growth and individuality. "I called them all last night, and we were all talking about it," she shared. "And I just [told] each one of them how proud I was of them because I looked at them as individuals in that picture. Grounded, centered, handsome, organized." The actress's sentiment was echoed by her youngest son, who texted her a heartfelt message: "'Mom, we're a family that weathered the storm.'"
Stone has long been an advocate for women's rights and reproductive health. In 2022, she bravely spoke about her own experience with miscarriage on Instagram, sharing a deeply personal account of losing nine children. "We, as females don't have a forum to discuss the profundity of this loss," she wrote. "I lost nine children by miscarriage." Stone's comments shed light on the often-overlooked issue of reproductive health and the need for women to be supported in their journeys.
With her latest film releasing on August 15, Nobody 2 is set to take audiences on a thrilling ride with its gripping storyline and star-studded cast. But beyond the glamour of Hollywood, Stone's story serves as a powerful reminder that motherhood is a journey worth celebrating – one that requires courage, love, and unwavering dedication.
