'Golden Boy' director criticises Sharon Stone

Italian director Pupi Avati says actress Sharon Stone was demanding and overbearing on the sets of their latest film 'Golden Boy'.
Avati said he was initially very happy to have Stone, 56, on board for the movie but got a shock when she threw tantrums, said the Huffington Post.
"It was a negotiation that bordered on ridiculousness, concerning embarrassing details, as if Italy was a third world country. By the way, we do have electricity in Italy," he said.
The director said Stone's antics didn't end there, either. According to Avati, when Stone saw a television crew and photographers filming a scene, she allegedly left the set unannounced.

"Then my brother (Antonio Avati) received a phone call from Los Angeles from her manager. She wouldn't come back on the set until the photographers and especially that damned TV cameramen had gone away.
"Obviously we did so and she, like nothing happened, shot the scene. The thing that I found most absurd is that she had to call to the States and to close herself in a car, instead of coming to ask us directly," Avati said.
"None of this is true. Ms Stone is the consummate professional," her representative said in an email.
