basic instinct sharon ston leg cross scene

The star has said she was not told beforehand that her genitals would be exposed in that scene and felt misled. Sharon Stone has claimed the director of Basic Instinct, Paul Verhoeven, told her to hand him her underpants before filming the famous leg-crossing scene in the 1992 film. The film’s plot is centered on a police detective, played by Douglas, who becomes involved in a torrid affair with Stone’s character who is a suspect in a murder he’s investigating.Ī scene featuring Stone suggestively crossing and uncrossing her legs during a police interrogation garnered much attention and has even been spoofed in more than a few projects. “No one asked me how I felt about it, I can tell you that.”

“People in general feel about it,” she said. Note that Stone has never been terribly shy about doing nude scenes - the part in Basic Instinct was offered. Stone said that, in the wake of the #MeToo movement, she thinks “there’s a certain tone-deafness, when it comes to this type of behavior, that people just want to continue to push forward, and ignore the thoughts and feelings of how women in general feel about this.” Stone does admit that, in the end, she wasn't angry that the scene stayed in, only that Verhoeven didn't tell her and show her the scene in private first rather, she only found out while watching the final cut with others in the room. Sharon Stone says she was misled about explicit interrogation scene Sharon Stone played murder suspect Catherine Tramell in 1992 erotic thriller 'Basic Instinct'.
