Well known for her body and the intim-te scenes she did, the actress said she was "fed up with nudity". To get around, Stallone gave him vodka.
When you think of Sharon Stone, now 61, it's inevitable to recall the most erotic or provocative scenes she's ever done on film. One of the big culprits is the famous crossing of the legs in "Fatal Instinct".
But these scenes were not always done willingly or well received by the actress. It was the case of the s-x scene that she had to star with the actor Silvester Stallone, in the movie "The Specialist", of 1994. Sharon Stone refused to record this scene with the justification that "she was fed up with nudity".
Pressured by the production, and with the help of Stallone, the actress accepted to do the scene. The help was limited to a few glasses of vodka. "We got to the set and she decided she didn't want to take her clothes off. The director asked most of the crew to leave the room, but she kept refusing to take them off. If I had already promised I wouldn't cross the line with her, what was the problem? She said she was sick of nudity and I told her to be sick of nudity in someone else's movie. Since she wasn't convinced, I went to my dressing room to get a Black Death vodka that Michael Douglas had given me. a few glasses, we were pure horny", told the actor to the website "Ain't it Cool".
This difficulty in convincing Sharon Stone to record resulted in a s-x scene lasting about three minutes, which critics found very weak.
"The scene is so produced that s-x has never looked so vulgar and so uns-xy. A monument to the anticlimax. It's two people disconnected because they're too focused on themselves", was the description of "Entertainment Weekly". The Independent described the scene as: "The strange way in which Stallone caresses Stone's head, with his arm stretched out behind him, moving his hair with the palm of his hand, while looking ahead distractedly, is the way like a man caresses his cat, while he thinks of other more important things."
The film directed by Luis Llosa, who also directed "Anaconda", has a score of 5.5 out of 10 on iMDB, and has received a number of awards, all negative. This was the case with the Worst Actress, Worst Actor and Worst Couple on the Scene trophies.
