Actress Sharon Stone tried to give veteran actress Meryl Streep a compliment, but it ended up sounding more like an insult. 

In an interview with Tatler magazine, Stone said Streep looks like an “unmade bed.” Her comments are posted in the excerpt below.

“I think that’s why Meryl Streep is working so much, because she looks like a woman we can all relate to.”  “I look at her and I think, ‘I’m chasing my kids, I’ve moved my parents in with me, I’m coping with food spills. That looks like me in real life’.  “Meryl looks like an unmade bed, and that’s what I look like. To me, that looks true.”

Again, I understand what Stone was trying to say, and I understand where she was going with this. But it sounds like it came out the wrong way.  She should have left out the “unmade bed” part.
