Sharon Stone didn't hold back when discussing Donald Trump‘s potential return to office during her Italy's Turin Film Festival appearance.
The Casino and Basic Instinct star shared her thoughts with Angelina Jolie during a panel discussion. Stone, who received the festival's prestigious Stella della Mole award, offered her perspective when asked about the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
“You know, Italy has seen fascism,” she said, according to The Guardian. “Italy has seen these things. You guys, you understand what happens. You have seen this before. My country is in adolescence. Adolescence is very arrogant. Adolescence thinks it knows everything. Adolescence is naïve and ignorant and arrogant. And we are in our ignorant, arrogant adolescence. So, Americans who don't travel, who 80 percent don't have a passport, who are uneducated, are in their extraordinary naïveté. What I would say is that the only way that we can help with these issues is to help each other.”
“I respect the results of the vote,” Stone added. “Even if I don't like the president, I respect his role. This is democracy. I don't know what will happen in the future, I'm not a fortune teller. I don't even know if there will be an authoritarian turn: There are 200 people in government who have to convince 200 million people in society. It won't all happen in an instant.”
Addressing the Democratic candidate Kamala Harris‘s defeat, Stone reflected: “Did we really get to know her, in just three months and with just one TV debate? Was she the right person? … I can't say.” When questioned about her own political aspirations, Stone responded with a firm “Me? Oh, Jesus, no!”
