At 61: This is how Sharon Stone recreated her hottest scene from 'Basic Instinct'
The American actress appeared at the 'GQ Men' awards in Berlin and left all the attendees dumbfounded
Who said that being 61 years old is a limit to show sensuality and teach how to succeed in Hollywood?
The American actress Sharon Stone did not put up any barriers and left those attending the 'GQ Men' awards gala speechless by recreating the most sensual leg crossing in cinema history.
The interpreter participated in the gala of the GQ magazine awards, which took place in Berlin, to receive the Woman of the Year award. Sitting on stage in front of the audience, wearing a short, low-cut dress, the star repeated the iconic scene from the film that brought her to fame and insinuated that director Paul Verhoeven cheated on her during the filming of the mythical scene.
Stone attended the gala with her son Roan Bronstein, 19, who was in the audience, and explained that that scene from 'Bajos Instintos' ('Basic Instinct' in Spain) (1992) changed her life for forever.
During the ceremony, the actress recalled how the scene in question had come about. "A few years ago, I was sitting on set and my director was like, 'Can you hand me your panties, because they show on the scene and you shouldn't be wearing them, but [don't worry] we won't see anything,'" Stone recalled. "I told him sure, but I didn't know that moment was going to change my life," she said before making history again and asking viewers to follow her movements.
“The time has come for them to decide who they are. It is time to decide what you are going to do with the most tender, important, beautiful, wild, passionate and important part of yourself. What are you going to do with her? "Asked the actress to those present.
She then encouraged everyone to reenact the scene, before thanking everyone for the award, adding, "There was a time when I was a joke."

The star looked sensational in a plunging sequin look, which she wore with black tights and black high heels.
In the year of its release, the thriller starring Stone and Michael Douglas became the fourth highest-grossing film in the United States. As for the scene of the interrogation of Catherine Tramell, it is considered one of the most leisurely moments in the history of cinema.
A couple of years ago, Sharon posted on her Twitter account a minute into her audition. We see her in the foreground, disheveled, her, her voice, the mischievous smile, a drink and a cigarette.
After that minute it was impossible not to give her the part.
In 1992, the year that Bass Instinct was released, Sharon Stone was 34 years old and had spent a decade trying to make herself known in Hollywood. She had participated in a dozen films but without starring. She took advantage of her opportunity when she got a good role in The Avenger of the Future by Paul Verhoeven who would also direct Low Instincts.
The moment that would lead her to become a s-x symbol was not in her script. Verhoeven asked him to remove her panties because they reflected light from her as he uncrossed her legs and promised that nothing of her was visible.
Years ago, her laugh at the question of whether she had experienced situations of harassment went viral on social networks. “Can you imagine what it was like when I came here 40 years ago? With my looks? Coming from nowhere, Pennsylvania. I arrived without any protection. I've seen it all," she told the actress.
