Sharon Stone's injury raises concerns over 'LensCrafters' ambassadorship

The timing of her injury could potentially impact her role as a brand ambassador for LensCrafters. However, Sharon will undoubtedly fit right into her role as the main antagonist in the upcoming action sequel 'Nobody 2,' set to hit theaters in August 2025.

She will star alongside Bob Odenkirk in this highly-anticipated follow-up to the 2021 hit 'Nobody,' directed by Timo Tjahjanto.

Sharon and Bob previously worked together in James Franco's 2017 biographical comedy 'The Disaster Artist.' Sharon, who first gained fame for her villainous roles in 'Total Recall' and 'Basic Instinct,' continues to captivate audiences with her versatile talent.

She is also set to appear in the 11th season of 'Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates, Jr,' airing early next year on PBS.

"I just found out that I'm French royalty," the 'Catwoman' star proudly shared with THR on July 9. "I just did that show on PBS, Finding Your Roots, and it turns out I'm related to Charlemagne. I am from a long line of royalty in France!" 

Sharon Stone's journey as mother and resilient survivor

Sharon Stone is a devoted mother to her three adopted sons—Roan Joseph Stone (formerly Bronstein), 24; Laird Vonne Stone, 19; and Quinn Kelly Stone, 18. Stone first embraced motherhood in 2000 when she and her then-husband, Phil Bronstein, adopted their first child, Roan.

In 2005, she expanded her family by adopting her second son, Laird, and welcomed her third son, Quinn, a year later. Throughout her life, Stone has been open about the tragedies she's faced, both before and after becoming a mother, including multiple miscarriages.

"We, as females don't have a forum to discuss the profundity of this loss. I lost nine children by miscarriage," the actress penned in a PEOPLE Instagram post in 2022. "It is no small thing, physically nor emotionally yet we are made to feel it is something to bear alone and secretly with some kind of sense of failure."  

Despite these hardships, Sharon views her life experiences as lessons. "I've survived everything—sexual harassment, miscarriages, a brain bleed, divorce, a lightning strike," she shared in an interview with AARP.

"I don't have time to fool around. I'm here to be a healthy and present parent, a good daughter, and an engaged citizen. Everything else is just a distraction."
