Italian filmmakers recently claimed that Sharon Stone was a "diva" on the sets of 'Golden Boy' movie as she made many outrageous demands while shooting, it ha been reported.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the film, Golden Boy, comes from celebrated director Pupi Avati and his producer-brother Antonio Avati and casting the 56-year-old actress for the low-budget film was a big win for the duo.

However, the 75-year-old director said that everyday on the set he used to make her realize that she was an "iconic actress" today because of the day when she crossed her legs.

Casting Stone was a negotiation that bordered on ridiculousness, concerning embarrassing details, as if Italy was a third world country, he further added.

But despite the alleged difficulties, the director also mentioned that he would not necessarily turn down another opportunity to collaborate with the 'Basic Instinct' actress.
