Sharon Stone shares name of producer who 'pressured her' to have sex with co-star

Sharon Stone opened up to Louis Theroux about the ordeal

Three years after alluding to a famous producer pressuring her to have sex with a co-star, Sharon Stone named both him and the fellow actor she was urged to sleep with.

Stone has starred in a series of hit films over the course of her career, but took a seven-year hiatus in the early 00s after suffering a stroke.

One of her biggest movies to date was Basic Instinct, which she starred in alongside Michael Douglas.

While the pair's on-screen chemistry was undeniable, Stone said she was never 'comfortable' around her co-star.

Speaking shortly after the film's release in 1992, Stone shared: "I had met him on two or three occasions in social situations before I tested with him for this movie.

"I really felt that he and I could have a certain strange, dynamic energy together.

"I was never comfortable around him, and I don’t think he was comfortable around me."

Another person she struggled to work with was Billy Baldwin on Silver.

Hot on the heels of Basic Instinct's success, Stone was cast in another raunchy drama.

Because of the racy nature of Silver, apparently Stone was urged to have sex with Baldwin in real life.

The person who said this was actor-turned-producer Robert Evans, Stone alleged earlier this year.

Speaking to Louis Theroux on his podcast, the actress said: "He called me to his office. He had these very low seventies, eighties couches, so I'm essentially sitting on the floor, when I should have been on set."

Stone went on to claim that Evans encouraged her to sleep with Baldwin to help improve his performance on screen.

She said: "He's running around his office in sunglasses explaining to me that he slept with Ava Gardner and I should sleep with Billy Baldwin, because if I slept with Billy Baldwin, Billy Baldwin's performance would get better.

"And we needed Billy to get better in the movie because that was the problem."

Baldwin has since angrily refuted her claims, however.

Taking to Twitter, the actor said in a scathing post: "Not sure why Sharon Stone keep talking about me all these years later? Does she still have a crush on me or is she still hurt after all these years because I shunned her advances?

"Did she say to her gal pal Janice Dickinson the day after I screen tested and ran into them on our MGM Grand flight back to New York… 'I'm gonna make him fall so hard for me, it's gonna make his head spin.???'

"I have so much dirt on her it would make her head spin but I've kept quiet."

Things are thought to have since simmered down between the pair and Baldwin has kept the alleged 'dirt' he has on Stone to himself.
