When you’re a global celebrity, there are certain things you can’t do without a fair bit of faff and planning.
And while it’s obvious the dating lives of celebrities might be a wee bit different to our own, spare a thought for Basic Instinct star Sharon Stone, who ran into a spot of bother trying her hand at online dating.
The stunning actress, who’s been single since divorcing newspaper executive Phil Bronstein in 2004, signed up for Bumble, an app-based dating service that allows users to swipe yes or no to other users’ profiles.
However, it seems no-one could fathom it was actually the real Sharon Stone, and the star was blocked from the app.
“I went on the Bumble dating site and they closed my account,” she posted to her social media.
“Some users reported that it couldn’t possibly be me! Hey Bumble… don’t shut me out of the hive!”
At 61, Sharon has never looked, or felt, better. After a career of stupendous highs and devastating lows − most notably her 2001 stroke which left her “at the back of the line” of her previously booming career − she truly, genuinely doesn’t give a damn about anyone else’s opinions.
