A NEPO baby has denied that he’s used his Hollywood A-list mum’s name to get into movies.
The Oscar-nominated actress is the mother of three adopted sons, and resides with them in West Hollywood, California.

She adopted Roan Joseph Bronstein at the end of May 2000, with her second ex-husband, journalist Phil Bronstein.
And her son Roan has now spoken in an interview about his desire to carve his own path in life, saying his mother’s fame only “put him in the right rooms.”
It’s actress Sharon Stone’s son, and he shared: “I’m still Sharon Stone’s son, but as life progresses, I’ve managed to carve out a career where I’m known for my business, not my connection to her.”
“I’m very proud of my family and my family’s legacy and the name I carry. I’m carving out a path, with the help of others, in an industry where I have no name. It helps to know the right people – those golden gates, in a way, are already open.”

Roan is the chief executive of the production company Cahuenga Media Group and spoke about his mother Sharon’s influence.
He’s also behind a company named Sweat N Shadow Management, which offers the likes of high-end photography and A-list creative direction.
“When I got into the business side, there’s some experience on her end, but I learnt a lot of things and we would teach each other,” he continued to share with Hello!
Adding that she “taught him everything she knows” about acting.
He also said he’d sometimes find himself working 22-hour days with just two hours sleep.
Roan goes along with Sharon to red carpet appearances, despite admitting to not really enjoying them, and recently accompanied her to the LA premiere of her movie Nobody 2, with his two brothers.
Sharon is a prominent figure in Hollywood, and her breakthrough role came about in 1992 with neo-noir thriller Basic Instinct.
She’s since starred in the likes of Total Recall, Casino, The Quick and the Dead, Irreconcilable Differences and The Laundromat.
Sharon has previously confessed that she was made to feel a “sense of failure” after suffering nine miscarriages over the years.
Commenting on People magazine’s post a few years back, Sharon wrote: “We, as females, don’t have a forum to discuss the depth of this loss.
“I lost nine children by miscarriage.
“It is no small thing, physically nor emotionally yet we are made to feel it is something to bear alone and secretly with some kind of sense of failure.
“Instead of receiving the much needed compassion and empathy and healing which we so need.”
Sharon added: “Female health and wellness left to the care of the male ideology has become lax at best, ignorant in fact, and violently oppressive in effort.”
In an article for British Vogue Sharon previously opened up about getting the call from an adoption agency to say she was becoming a parent – the day after suffering a miscarriage.
She wrote: “I found out I was going to be a parent the day after I lost my child. It was 2000, and my then husband and I had had a series of devastating late-term miscarriages.
“On our final attempt to have a baby naturally, I had to go through painful surgery – and 36 hours of labour – to deliver a stillborn.
“It was on our way home afterwards, one of the darkest moments of my life, that I got a call from an adoption lawyer: he had a client with a baby boy due in a few weeks. Would I be his mother?”
