Sharon Stone reveals her 'unsettling' career-long fear of being shot by a fan following a chat with Sylvester Stallone

As a die-hard fan of Sharon Stone, I’m in awe of her remarkable journey through Hollywood and the raw vulnerability she continues to bring to her craft. Her recent revelation at the Cannes charity gala about her long-standing fear of being shot by a fan, sparked by her breakout role in “Basic Instinct,” is both unsettling and poignant.


Sharon Stone has shared her long-standing, unnerving concern about being fatally shot by a fan, after discussing this topic with Sylvester Stallone.

The actress, who is now 66 years old, became deeply apprehensive due to the intense experience of gaining instant fame following her groundbreaking performance in “Basic Instinct.”

At a charitable event in Cannes, The Sun recounts Sharon sharing this experience: “Sly unexpectedly told me that it’s like strolling down the street, unsure if people are reaching into their pockets for a pen or a weapon.”

‘That’s what becomes so unsettling, because everybody is doing that, but you don’t know why.

You find yourself persistently in a state of unease, needing to solve problems and make adjustments to prepare for what’s next.

In the past few days, Sharon recreated her iconic pose from the 1992 movie “Basic Instinct,” with her crossed legs and dressed in red lace linger, only to face criticism for being perceived as too old for such an alluring social media update.

The star responded to Daily Mail’s Richard Eden with: “We all age. It’s preposterous to expect perfection at the ripe age of twenty. What’s the point?” (Or) “The star retorted to Daily Mail’s Richard Eden, ‘Growing older is a natural process. Why should we be judged solely based on our appearance at twenty?'”

At the charitable event in Cannes, she remarked: “I was preparing to deliver remarks on the topic of giving back.”

I’ve had my fair share of unexpected photo shoots throughout my career, but none quite as unplanned as this one. Paris, my stylist, caught me off guard when she suggested we take a photograph while I was getting ready backstage. Wearing an outfit underneath my clothes that was far from glamorous, I hesitated for a moment before agreeing. It wasn’t the image I wanted to project, but sometimes life throws us curveballs that force us out of our comfort zones. And in retrospect, that impromptu shoot turned out to be one of my favorite moments in my career. So, although it may have been a surprise at the time, looking back, I’m grateful for that experience and the lesson it taught me about embracing the unexpected.

I’ve always found it fascinating how some actors and actresses can completely transform themselves for a role, leaving us in awe of their versatility. This particular actress, whose career spans over three decades, never fails to surprise me. A few weeks ago, she posted an image on Instagram that left many of her followers speechless. Dressed in bold red lace lingerie, she looked radiant and seductive, a far cry from the sexy killer Catherine Tramell she portrayed 32 years ago. It’s amazing to see how her beauty has aged gracefully, and her ability to embody various characters continues to captivate audiences. Her life experience shines through in every role she takes on, making each performance a unique and memorable one.

In the well-known scene from Basic Instinct, Sharon’s character Catherine was questioned intensely by law enforcement officials, among whom was Michael Douglas.

When I find myself surrounded by a barrage of inquiries, I subtly change the subject by readjusting my position and uncrossing then recrossing my legs. This simple action often leaves the questioners momentarily taken aback, especially if I happened to be sitting without underwear during the interruption.

At that point, the situation on set was deeply disputed and is now remembered as one of the most notorious moments in cinematic lore.

The actress happily displayed her stunning physique in seductive Bloomers Intimate lingerie, crossing one leg as she paid homage to the iconic pose.

Although becoming an instant celebrity following the pivotal moment, the Academy Award-nominated Sharon has previously expressed that she felt deceived into revealing herself to the cameras against her will.

In her memoir “The Beauty of Living Twice,” the 66-year-old woman recounted an incident where she became enraged during a preview of Paul Verhoeven’s erotic thriller and found himself deceiving her by assuring her that certain explicit scenes would be omitted. Discovering to her dismay that these scenes were indeed present, she angrily struck the director and left the screening, lamenting that the viewers could essentially see clear to Nebraska.

Verhoeven strongly refutes her assertion that she was unaware of the leg-crossing scene’s intentions.

An actress would be able to tell you what to expect if you ask her to remove her undergarments and indicate that spot with the camera.

But the Hollywood veteran has also been adamant she didn’t have any regrets about making the film.

I’ve always believed that regrets are similar to passing wind. Once they’re out in the open, they leave behind an unpleasant smell and are irretrievably gone.
