If you scroll through Instagram, most of the photos you see probably look perfect, almost too perfect. Many celebrities and influencers use photoshop and filters to make sure any photos they post are flawless.
If you scroll through Instagram and see photos of celebrities at the pool or beach, their bodies probably look almost impossibly perfect. Celebrities rarely post bikini or swimsuit pictures unless they think they look flawless.
Sharon Stone is different. The 64-year-old actress is happy to be alive and to be as perfect as she is, but she isn’t trying to hide any imperfections. In fact, she bravely posted what she herself is calling an “imperfect” bikini photo.
In the picture, Stone is wearing bikini bottoms, and she has a towel draped over her shoulders. Her head is tilted back while she laughs, glasses on her face. She does not believe that her body looks perfect, but she doesn’t care. She captioned the photo, “Gratefully Imperfect on a Perfect Day.”
Stone’s followers are loving post. One person wrote, “Embracing our aging bodies is difficult. Thank you for showing us that we are beautiful no matter our age or what life has done to our bodies. We are still beautiful and amazing.”
Another one of Stone’s followers commented, “I don’t see one single imperfection, Queen!”

Stone has gone through a lot in her life including a near death experience. She didn’t want to talk about her health struggle at first because she was worried it might hurt her career, but now, she is completely open and honest about the time she almost died and how hard the next few years were for her.
Stone described a brain hemorrhage that went undiagnosed for several days until she ended up in the emergency room. She had surgery and managed to make a full recovery, but it took a long time. She had to relearn basic things like how to walk and write. During this recovery period, her husband left her for his girlfriend and tried to take her son away from her. Watch the video below to hear more about her near death experience and amazing recovery.
Have you ever had a near death experience? If so, did it change your view of life and change your priorities? Do you think Stone looks perfect of “imperfect” in her latest bikini post?
