The 50-year-old star of Basic Instinct attended last year’s festival as the image ambassador for the French cosmetic giant Christian Dior which has since pulled advertisements featuring Stone from stores across China. In Stone’s initial remarks made on the red carpet at the Cannes film festival she called the Dalai Lama the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism – whom China reviles as a traitor – a “good friend”. After mentioning the Tibet unrest she said: “And then all this earthquake and all this stuff happened and I thought is that karma – when you’re not nice that the bad things happen to you?” Stone later apologised.
