The 'Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps' director makes sure he didn't contract Covid-19 that could derail his latest project by getting himself four vaccinations.

AceShowbiz - Director Oliver Stone is so determined to ensure he doesn't contract Covid-19 that he's had four vaccinations against the virus.
In an interview with Britain's The Independent newspaper, the filmmaker revealed he has had two of Russia's Sputnik V injections - due to working in the country filming a documentary about climate change - and two Pfizer jabs in his native America.
"I am a pin cushion for American-Russian peace relations… I had four f**king vaccines: two Sputniks and two Pfizers," he told the publication.
The medics behind Sputnik V claim their shot has an efficacy rate of 91.6 per cent while the Pfizer jab demonstrated 95 per cent efficacy in phase III trials, and apparently has a 100 per cent rate of preventing hospitalisation and death.
Elsewhere in the interview, the "Platoon" director opened up about "cancel culture" and admitted he would have undoubtedly become a victim had he started out in Hollywood today.
"I despise it," the 74-year-old said. "I am sure I've been cancelled by some people for all the comments I've made... it's like a witch hunt. It's terrible. American censorship in general, because it is a declining, defensive, empire, it (America) has become very sensitive to any criticism."
Oliver Stone's last feature film directorial project was 2016's Edward Snowden movie "Snowden" starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the infamous whistleblower.
He recently directed John F. Kennedy documentary "JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass"
