SHARON STONE has divided fans by suggesting in a viral interview that Meryl Streep is overrated, as the Basic Instinct actress claimed, “I’m a much better villain than Meryl and I’m sure she’d say so”.
GMB: Sharon Stone avoids questioning on Basic Instinct
Sharon Stone, 63, has sparked a frenzy online after she claimed that there are many actresses who are equally talented as Oscar-winner Meryl Streep, 72, but they have never matched her fame or critical acclaim. The Basic Instinct star’s suggestions that Meryl is overrated as an actor went viral after she made the comments in an interview with Everything Zoomer last month.
However, others rushed to defend Mamma Mia! star Meryl’s achievements in Hollywood in light of Sharon’s remarks.
Sharon’s comments about Meryl came after interviewer Johanna Schneller referenced the star’s memoir The Beauty Of Living Twice and mentioned a line about how Hollywood forces women to compete for a more limited number of roles.
“It was put to us that there could be room for only one,” Sharon wrote in her book.
