Oliver Stone has taken the coronavirus vaccine.
The 74-yaer-old Platoon filmmaker revealed he received the Russian version of the COVID-19 vaccine while filming in the country during an interview with AP.
“I got a vaccine shot. I don’t know if it’s going to work, I got it a few days ago. I’ve heard good things about the Russian vaccine. I have to get a second shot in 45 days. But I’m hopeful. It’s a very good vaccine, I don’t understand why it’s being ignored in the West,” he explained.
Russia began vaccination last week according to Newsweek with high-risk health and education workers from ages 18 to 60.
The FDA recently approved the coronavirus vaccine by Pfizer in the United States.
A celebrity recently made headlines for saying he won’t be taking the vaccine in the United States.
Oliver Stone is opening up about cancel culture and how he probably would be among the ones canceled if he were just starting out in Hollywood right now.
The 73-year-old Oscar-winning filmmaker is known for writing movies like Scarface and Midnight Express, as well as directing films like Platoon, Born on the Fourth of July, JFK, and Wall Street, among others.
In a new interview with the SiriusXM radio show Jim Norton & Sam Roberts, Stone was asked about “modern Hollywood.”
“I’m really out of touch. I can tell you that if I made any of my films, I don’t think I’d last. I’d be vilified. I’d be attacked. Shamed,” he said. “Whatever you want to call that… culture, cancel f—ing culture. I mean it’s just impossible.”
“I would have had to step on so many sensitivities,” he added. “You have to have some freedom to make a movie, unfortunately. You have to be rude. You can be bad. And you’re going to have to do these things like step on toes. Holy cow. Do you think I could have made any one of those films?”
Stone was accused of sexual misconduct by actresses Patricia Arquette and Melissa Gilbert back in 2017.
Oliver Stone is not rushing to condemn producer Harvey Weinstein, who is facing many allegations of sexual harassment and assault.
The three-time Oscar-winning filmmaker was asked to comment on the scandal while attending an event at the Busan International Film Festival on Friday (October 13).
“I’m a believer that you wait until this thing gets to trial,” Stone said (via THR). “I believe a man shouldn’t be condemned by a vigilante system. It’s not easy what he’s going through either. He was a rival and I never did business with him. I’ve heard horror stories on everyone in the business. So, I’m not going to comment on that. I’ll wait and see, which is the right thing to do.”
Several prominent women in the entertainment industry, including actresses Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow, Rose McGowan, Cara Delevingne, and more have come forward with their experiences with Weinstein.
UPDATE: The following statement was just released on Stone‘s Facebook page.
Shailene Woodley and Joseph Gordon-Levitt hit the red carpet for the premiere of Snowden during the 2016 Zurich Film Festival on Saturday (September 24) in Zurich, Switzerland.
The two co-stars met up with their director Oliver Stone at press conference earlier in the day.
“When you go on the street, half the people have very strong opinions that [Snowden] is a traitor, while the other half think he’s a hero. Everyone has all these very strong opinions about a man that we actually know nothing about,” Shailene shared in a recent interview.
“The thing that I fell in love with about the script is that for me, as someone who did a lot of research on the information that was disclosed, I didn’t know that Ed Snowden was a conservative before he was more liberal. I didn’t know that he wanted to be part of the military before he had any interest in joining the NSA or CIA. [Being an agent] wasn’t on his radar. It was sort of a Plan B,” she continued.
Shai added, “We are so quick to judge in our society but so often we are only being fed one narrative, and with Ed Snowden, we’ve only been fed the narrative of mainstream media and independent journalists.”
FYI: Shailene wore Isabel Marant for the press conference and a Valentino dress for the premiere.

“Our lives afford us the opportunity to come together and get involved in a peaceful and unifying manner,” Shailene said in a statement. “We must show up to see change come to fruition. We must stand in solidarity and acknowledge our responsibility for not only those alive now, but for all generations to come. Protecting our Earth and its creatures is protecting humanity and its children. This EMA Futures Award shows me that there are millions of us who have been and ARE ready to stand up in the face of adversity and honor the home that has offered us the lives we know. Without nature, there is no human.”
