Now we understand why it was one of the least se*sual and most uncomfortable scenes in cinema. She did not want.
Although many have considered Sharon Stone a s*x symbol after her most iconic leg crossing in history in the film "Basic Instincts", 12 years before that filming she had already made her film debut, although without achieving fame. world.
Is that as at the time the requirements of the industry were of a bold type for women and she did not feel that way, she decided to pose semi-clear body for Playboy and then decided to sell a s*xy image to become known and have a good job.
But she didn't play too much in his favor...
After her first filming as a "s*xy" girl in 1992, Stone was already seen as a s*x symbol in Hollywood and most of her expected her to shoot such scenes.
That is why when it became known that she would be part of The Specialist, a film that tells the story of a woman (Sharon Stone) who seeks revenge on the mobsters who killed her parents by hiring an explosives expert (Sylvester Stallone)– many waited with looking forward to the premiere.
But the scene they recorded ended up being one of the least sensual and most uncomfortable scenes in Hollywood cinema...
And there is an explanation: the female lead of it did not want to do it.
According to an interview with Stallone in the Sunday Mirror newspaper, he believed that Sharon dominated that type of film so he assumed that it was the right choice, however, when it came time to record, she refused.
And her denial - unfortunately - was nothing more than an anecdote at the time.
Moreover, its producers and the actor himself told the situation to the media without much importance. “At first she didn't want to do that love 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 Ain't It Cool, that more details were known. According to his words, they arrived at the shoot 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 I wouldn't go too far with her, what was the problem then? "I'm tired of getting n*ked," she said. I asked her to get fed up with stripping in someone else's movie," Sylvester said.
But since she kept refusing, she had a plan.
“She wasn't seeing reason, so I went to my dressing room and got out a bottle of Black Death vodka that Michael Douglas had given me. After half a dozen drinks we were soaking ourselves wildly, ”she said on the occasion, according to the newspaper El País.
As a result... the scene was recorded, but the actress's discomfort crossed the screen and was noted by specialized critics, who considered that passion and complicity between the actors were lacking.
Lisa Schwarzbaum, a columnist for Entertainment Weekly, called the scene "a monument to anticlimax." "They are two people disconnected from each other, because they are too focused on themselves," she specified.
Meanwhile, Hal Hinson of the Washington Post claimed 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 Stallone caresses Stone's head, his arm stretched out behind him, his palm ruffling his hair as he gazes forward absently, is the way a man would caress a stone. your cat while you think about other more important things.
This is how the 1994 film, directed by Luis Llosa, managed to achieve a long s*xual scene with no chemistry. And of course, if Stone did not want to record the sequence of him.
