In order to have good chemistry in front of the camera, Sharon Stone was supposed to sleep with her “Sliver” colleague William Baldwin in 1993. The actress claims that a film producer asked her to do this at the time. Now she says his name and antagonizes Baldwin.
In 2021, Sharon Stone had already written in her memoir “The Beauty Of Living Twice” that she was forced to have sex with her then co-star William Baldwin while filming the erotic thriller “Sliver”. An influential Hollywood producer is said to have coerced her into doing this so that Baldwin’s “acting performance would improve.” However, the 66-year-old did not give his name. Until now. Because Stone has now unpacked in Louis Theroux’s podcast.
Robert Evans, a Hollywood mogul who died in 2019, is said to have been the one who tried to force the actress to have sex with Baldwin. “Evans is running around his office in sunglasses and explaining that he slept with Ava Gardner and I should sleep with Billy Baldwin because his performance would be better,” Stone describes the scene in the podcast. “If I slept with Billy, we would have good chemistry on screen and it would save the movie,” Evans reportedly told her. But it gets even worse, because the film producer is said to have accused the “Basic Insinct” star of saying that Stone was the real problem. “I’m too uptight and not a real actress to portray him (Baldwin, editor’s note) “just fuck and make things right,” the 66-year-old quotes Evans in an interview with Theroux.
“I felt like they could have just hired a co-star with talent, someone who could act a scene and memorize his lines. I also thought they should please fuck him themselves and leave me out of it.” , Stone writes retrospectively in her biography.
Baldwin rages back
Evans, who died in 2019, can no longer comment on the allegations. Stone’s former “Sliver” co-star William Baldwin speaks out about this on X. “I don’t know why Sharon Stone is still talking about me all these years later? Is she still in love with me or is she still hurt after all these years because I rejected her advances?” the 61-year-old writes in his tweet. Baldwin claims that after a screen test with him, Stone told her friend, actress Janice Dickinson, that she wanted to make him so in love with her that he would “feel dizzy.” However, Dickinson cannot remember this statement from Stone, as she confirmed when asked by the Daily Mail.
It is well known in Hollywood that he “begged” Robert Evans to be allowed to choreograph the final sex scene himself so that he “just didn’t have to kiss Stone” in it, said Baldwin. “I wonder if I should write a book and tell the many, many disturbing, perverted and unprofessional stories about Sharon?” he threatens in conclusion.
