In Sharon Stone’s 2021 autobiography, she shared an uncomfortable situation.
Now she reveals the names of those involved.
– If I slept with Billy Baldwin, Billy Baldwin’s performance would be better, says the movie star in a podcast.
The movie star Sharon Stone64, believes that the producer Robert Evans – who died in 2019 – pressured her to have sex with her co-star Billy Baldwin61, while recording “Sliver” in 1993.

– He runs around his office in sunglasses and explains to me that he slept with me Ava Gardner and that I should sleep with Billy Baldwin, because if I slept with Billy Baldwin, Billy Baldwin’s performance would be better, and we needed that because that was the problem, she says in the podcast ”Louis Theroux”.

Would “save the movie”
She also says the producer thought it would give the pair better “on-screen chemistry”, which would “save the film”.
– The real problem with the film was me, because I was so tense and not like a real actress who could just fuck him and get things right again, she says.
Sharon Stone was frustrated that the filmmakers didn’t listen to her when she suggested the “Basic Instinct” star Michael Douglas as an opponent instead.
– I didn’t have to fuck Michael Douglas, she says.

Strikes back – with an attack
The situation was first raised in Stone’s autobiography “The beauty of living twice” from 2021 – but then she did not name those involved.
“He was pacing his office with balls falling out of the spout and rolling all over the hardwood floor while he explained to me why I should fuck my co-star so we could have chemistry on screen,” she wrote at the time.

Hours after the naming, Billy Baldwin comments on his former colleague’s statement on X (formerly Twitter) by attacking her:
“Not sure why Sharon Stone keeps talking about me after all these years? Is she still in love with me or is she still hurt after all these years because I rejected her?” he writes.
He continues:
“I have so much crap on her that it would make her giddy but I have kept quiet. The story of the meeting I had with Bob Evans where I begged him to choreograph the sex scene in the photo below so I wouldn’t have to kiss Sharon is absolutely legendary. Wonder if I should write a book and tell the many offensive, kinky and professional tales of Sharon? It could be fun”.
