Quick Pickup:
- Actress Sharon Stone recounts in her memoir, which will be published soon.
- She was pressured to get intimate with her co-stars “for the sake of on-screen chemistry.”
The well-known actress Sharon Stone will soon publish her memoirs, entitled ‘The Beauty of Living Twice’, in which she narrates, among other things, how she was tricked into filming the famous scene of crossing her legs in ‘Basic Instinct’, directed by Paul Verhoeven, which we already tell you about here.
Also, and according to Variety, the interpreter narrates the pressures she suffered from several producers, who asked her to have sex with her male co-stars to increase the chemistry on screen and make the performance more credible
Although Stone does not give names, she reveals that her refusal to do something like that was considered “difficult”. These are his words: “I felt like they could just have hired talented partners, someone who could act out a scene and remember their lines. I also thought they could fuck them themselves and leave me alone. My job was to act and I said so. That was not a popular response. That is why I was considered difficult. “
Sharon Stone remembers thinking at that time: “You insist on this actor who has not even been able to do a whole scene in the test … Do you think that if I sleep with him he will become a good actor? Nobody is that good at the bed”.
The actress adds, again without revealing the identity of the aforementioned producer, that “he explained to me why I should sleep with my co-star so that we could have on-screen chemistry. Why, in his day, he made love to Ava Gardner and went sensational! Only creepy thought of him in the same room as Ava Gardner made me think. I realized then that she also had to take it and pretend that he was interested in some way.”
