Although many have considered Sharon Stone as a s*-e*-x symbol after her most iconic crossing of legs in history in the film "Low instincts", 12 years before that shoot she had already made her debut in the cinema, although without achieving fame world.
Is that since at the time the requirements of the industry were of a daring type for women and she did not feel that way, she decided to pose in a semi nude for Playboy and then decided to sell a sexy image to become known and have a good job.
But she didn't play too much for him ...
After the first filming of her as a "sexy" girl in 1992, Stone was already seen as a sex symbol in Hollywood and most of her expected her to shoot such scenes.
That's why when it became known that it would be part of The Specialist, a film that tells the story of a woman (Sharon Stone) who seeks revenge on the gangsters who killed her parents by hiring an explosives expert (Sylvester Stallone) - many waited with you look forward to the premiere.
But the scene they filmed ended up being one of the least sensual and most uncomfortable scenes in Hollywood cinema ...
And there's an explanation: her female lead didn't want to do it.
According to an interview with Stallone in the Sunday Mirror newspaper, he believed that Sharon dominated these types of films so he assumed it was the right choice, however, when it came time to shoot, she refused.
And her denial - unfortunately - was nothing more than an anecdote at that time.
What's more, its producers and the actor himself told the media about the situation without much importance. “At first she didn't want to do that sex scene. So I thought the best thing would be to get her drunk. Sharon had a couple of drinks and said, "Okay, I'll do it!"
And it was only in 2006, when Stallone participated in an online interview for the site A Ain’t It Cool, that more details became known. According to his words, they arrived at the set and she did not want to take off her robe. “The director asked most of the workers to leave the room, but she still refused to undress. If I had promised her that I would not go too far with her, what was the problem then? "I'm sick of undressing," she said. I asked her to get sick of getting naked in someone else's movie, ”Sylvester said.
But as she continued to refuse, she had a plan.
“She wasn't seeing reason, so I went to my dressing room and took out a bottle of Black Death vodka that Michael Douglas had given me. After half a dozen drinks we were soaking in a wild plan, "she said at the time, according to the newspaper El País.
As a result ... the scene was recorded, but the actress' discomfort went beyond the screen and was noticed by the specialized critics, who considered that there was a lack of passion and complicity between the actors.
Lisa Schwarzbaum, a columnist for Entertainment Weekly, called the scene "a monument to anti-climax." "They are two people disconnected from each other, because they are too focused on themselves," she specified.
Meanwhile, Hal Hinson of the Washington Post assured that "it looks like an exercise video: the stars offer their bodies to the camera as if they were in a bodybuilding competition." And Quentin Curtis of The Independent noted: “The strange way in which Stallone strokes Stone's head, his arm stretched back, ruffling his hair with his palm as he gazes distractedly ahead, is the way a man would caress Stone. your cat while thinking of other more important things.
This is how the 1994 film, directed by Luis Llosa, managed to achieve a long sexual scene with no chemistry. And of course, if Stone did not want to record the sequence of him.
