Is three-time Oscar winner Meryl Streep overrated? According to Donald Trump, Sharon Stone seems to share this view.
Even if actress Sharon Stone (63) doesn’t like to hear it, there is one thing that she apparently shares with former US President Donald Trump (75). Because like the ex-twitterer, she has now also indicated that she cannot understand the hype surrounding actress Meryl Streep (72). That the three-time Oscar winner is overvalued, although not as directly as Trump launched. But she did paraphrase this thought – and not only made friends with it on social networks.
A question from interviewer Johanna Schneller got the ball rolling. When Stone wanted to know what it felt like to have worked with Streep for the first time for Steven Soderbergh’s (58) Netflix film “The Money Laundering”, Stone replied: “I like the way you put it. That I finally did with Meryl Streep. They didn’t say, ‘Meryl could finally work with Sharon Stone. Or we could finally work together.’ ”
“Everyone throws himself on the ground”
In her opinion, this is Hollywood’s big problem. Too few role offers for women who then have to compete with the glorified Streep for the rare parts – and inevitably lose out. “In my opinion, to be honest, there are other actresses who are just as talented as Meryl Streep.” Viola Davis is such an example. “Emma Thompson. Judy Davis. Olivia Colman. Kate Winslet, damn it. But you say Meryl and everyone throws themselves on the floor.”
And Stone also brings himself into the running in this regard, at least when it comes to shady characters. “I’m a much better villain than Meryl and I’m sure she would say that too,” she says confidently. “Meryl wouldn’t have been good at Basic Instinct or Casino. I was better. And I know it. And she knows it.”
Your statements are making waves on Twitter
Although many people in the social networks agree with Sharon Stone in the core, the majority criticize her for her statements, but sometimes violently. Many Stones are particularly annoyed with the latent accusation that Streep is to blame for the fact that other actresses are not offered good roles. One user wrote: “I hate the disgusting narrative that Meryl works too hard and steals roles.” Streep’s immense success did not come at the expense of other “overlooked” actresses.
: “Streep is now ending her fourth decade of ‘she’s not that great!'” And he has one more piece of advice for Sharon Stone: “A good way to celebrate other actresses is to celebrate other actresses. And not over to moan one. ”
