Sean Stone, son of Oliver, seems like a chip off the old block.

Fresh off the plane from Tehran, the famous filmmaker's son defended Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in an interview this weekend and supported Iran’s right to a nuclear program as a defense against threats from Israel.

The 26-year-old is a documentary filmmaker met exclusively with TheWrap at the Toronto Film Festival, offering some unconventional views.

Criticizing the Iranian government is “like someone coming to your house and saying the father shouldn’t hit the kids,” he said. “Who are we to tell them how to rule their country?”

“Iran is ruled by law,” he said. “People don’t like Ahmadinejad, but that doesn’t warrant a war or an uprising.”

It is also being reported that Sean Stone is converting to islam.

Good. He can volunteer to be the one vaporized in an attack. He has no right, however, to volunteer us in the bargain.

[American Quilter]

What an idiot.

It is true that talent can skip a generation. Stupid on the other hand is passed on rather consistently.

[LottieDah]

Sean Stone does know that Ahmadinejad wants to nuke him too or does he?

[Winstons Julia]

“Stone said he wants to make films in Iran, “because they’re the biggest filmmakers in the Middle East, I’m very international-minded” and the opportunity arose through some personal connections.”

So ... then, it’s about MONEY and making propaganda.

[Tax-chick]

He sounds like a total idiot, but he’s right, in a way. No country has more “right” to nuclear weapons than any other. “Who can, may ...,” so it’s up to those who prefer a world without a nuclear-armed Iran to forget about “rights” and simply make sure they “can’t.”

Wow.

What a mess of a family.

The documentary is reportedly about Persian poet Rumi

OMG! Another Hollywood ilk with an opinion. Would have believed it? and who the h*ll cares what a Hollywood, 26 year old, who got where he is because of his father’s money and connections, thinks about anything? It’s like paying attention to that McCain bimbet.

[nuconvert]

He has swallowed the regime’s bs, hook, line & sinker

[ClearCase_guy]

“Who are we to tell them how to rule their country?”

If you need nuclear weapons to rule your own country, then I'd have to say that you are doing it wrong.

pong

[SMARTY]

Hmmm and what policy studies program did HE graduate from... or is he just the latest and stupidest Hollywierd nutso fishing for attention with the lame old ‘I hate America’ spiel??

[nuconvert]

The documentary is reportedly about Persian poet Rumi.

Oliver Stone talked in the past about making a documentary about Ahmadinjead, so who knows.

[csense]

When driving around Tehran, Stone said he saw graffiti that read, ‘Death to America,’ but said it was not meant literally.

Late night comedy gold right there....

[nuconvert]

Yeah, “Death to America,”....”I don’t mean that in a bad way...”

[BenLurkin]

bttt

[Shimmer1]

Not that there’s anything wrong with that....
