Expensive to be famous, says veteran Hollywood actress Sharon Stone

Actress Sharon Stone claims that being famous is a drag, as she had to keep picking up $3,000 dinner tabs! Sharon said she regularly paid huge dinner cheques when she was out: “You go out to dinner, and there are 15 people at the table, and who gets the cheque? You get the $3,000 dinner check every single time.” She also said it was ‘very expensive to be famous’. But she said she was far from stingy.

In her 2021 memoir The Beauty of Living Twice, Sharon said she handed a huge chunk of her pay cheque for 1995 Western The Quick and the Dead to Leonardo DiCaprio, 49, so he could also feature in the movie.

She told about giving the actor the cash after seeing him in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, “He was a superstar. I wanted to be in a great movie, not a stupid movie, so I got the best people to surround me that I possibly could.”
