Sharon Stone is celebrating a major milestone in her son Laird's life - his high school graduation.
The 'Basic Instinct' star, 66, was seen cheering on her 19-year-old son at the event and shared a series of joyful photos from the day on her Instagram account. She posted a set of snaps, showing Laird donning a maroon cap and gown.
"LAIRD VONNE STONE GRADUATION!" The actress also included a photo of Laird after he received his diploma, where he can be seen smiling under a mask while making a rock-on sign with his hand.

She shared the sweet update on her social media (Sharonstone/Instagram)Sharon adopted Laird in 2005 and her youngest son, Quinn, now 17, in 2006. She also has a son, Roan, 24, with her ex-husband Phil Bronstein. Sharon tied the knot with the journalist, 73, in 1998 and they adopted Roan in 2000 but their marriage ended in 2003 and their divorce was finalised in 2004.

At the time, the Oscar nominee requested primary custody of Roan, who was then eight, but was denied by a judge who believed Phil could provide a more stable environment. In 2008, the actress lost an appeal to gain primary custody of Roan and last year claimed the judge's decision was due to her sexy role in Basic Instinct.
She revealed on the Table for Two with Bruce Bozzi podcast: "When the judge asked my child my tiny little boy, 'Do you know your mother makes sex movies?' This kind of abuse by the system, that it was considered what kind of parent I was because I made that movie.

Sharon has maintained a close bond with Roan, to the extent that he even filed paperwork in 2019 to adopt her surname.
In recent times she expressed feeling as though she lost her acting career after nearly dying from a brain haemorrhage in 2001. Moreover, she feels the roles offered to her have reduced as she has aged.
She shared with The Times, "People would like to say, 'You're too old or you can't do this or you can't do that.' It's a little bit hard to cast me as the grandmother. It'd be easier to cast me as the lawyer or the judge or the cop so they're not really sure what to do with somebody like me."
"I still don't have my acting career back. I would really like to work again as an actor so much not just a weak, supporting, bulls*** part. I'd like to really have the parts that I have earned and can do. I would really like to have my own real career back. I would really like to have my life back." The brain hemorrhage Sharon endured more than two decades ago resulted in a brain bleed lasting nine days.
