Sharon Stone left a date after learning he was a heroin addict
Sharon Stone doesn't 'pretend' who she is on dating apps, but that still doesn't make it easy to find love.
Stone, 65, recalls a particularly bad first date where she ended up with a “heroin addict” at the Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles. She said The times in an interview published on Friday, January 26, that the man was “clearly 20,000 heroin injections later than the photo he sent me.”
After realizing he was a drug addict, Stone said she simply told him it wouldn't work. “I say to the waiter, 'I want a glass of water.' He had a cocktail: absinthe or something. And I said, 'I'm sorry, I can't stay,'” she explained.
Stone revealed that another of her dates left her feeling “almost like a therapist” after the man opened up about his recent divorce from his wife. “He was having a hard time coming to terms with it,” Stone told the outlet, noting that a third man she dated had just split from his girlfriend and looked to Stone for advice.
“[My date’s ex] had gotten pregnant and instead of getting married, she had an abortion… He was still very much in love with her, and I helped him deal with it,” Stone recalled. “It was really enriching for both of us. I don't know how to explain it.”
Although her online dating success rate isn't high, Stone was adamant: “This is the year I want to fall in love — 100 percent,” noting that she's now on Tinder.
The Basic instinct Star's statement is completely consistent with an interview she did Drew Barrymore three years ago when she said she was “done with dating.”
“I'm done dating,” Stone said during an October 2020 appearance The Drew Barrymore Show, in which I explained, “I just find people disingenuous and not worth my time. I enjoy my alone time more and time with my children and my friends.
She joked: 'I don't need another child. I don't want insincerity, nonsense and playing games.”
Steen has been married twice. The Oscar nominee was married to a writer and producer Michael Greenburg from 1984 to 1987. She tied the knot for the second time Phil Bronstein in 1998. The couple adopted their son Roan, now 23, in 2000. Stone and Bronstein, 73, separated four years later.
Stone subsequently adopted two more sons, Laird, 18, and Quinn, 17, in 2005 and 2006, respectively.
Now that Stone is back on the dating scene, she revealed that she doesn't have a list of things she wants in a suitor. “I'm not looking for anything. I never looked for anything. Because I don't think that's what's happening,” she said The times, while in real life you note, “You're standing somewhere, someone comes up to you and starts talking to you and you turn around and think, 'What?' And before you know it, two years have passed.
Stone concluded, “You don't look for a list and then your list comes along. That's what people who aren't in a relationship do. So they can comfort themselves with the fact that they are not in a relationship and feel like they are actively making an effort to make that happen in their lives.”
