Shocked: Sharon Stone was pressured to sleep with a co-star
Sharon Stone spilled even more tea in The Beauty of Living Twice when she detailed some absolutely vile treatment by an unnamed producer on one of her movies. That producer, she claimed in an excerpt published in the New York Post, "explained to me why I should f**k my co-star so that we could have on-screen chemistry."
According to Stone, her contract afforded her the right to approve her co-stars — although producers typically ignored that and would instead "cast who they wanted. To my dismay, sometimes."
This was the case when an actor — also not named — was hired and "couldn't get one whole scene out" during the screen test, which led to the producer's advice. "Now you think if I f**k him, he will become a fine actor?" she mused. "Nobody's that good in bed. I felt they could have just hired a co-star with talent, someone who could deliver a scene and remember his lines. I also felt they could f**k him themselves and leave me out of it. It was my job to act and I said so."
