Sharon Stone admits he offered her panties to the director of “Basic Instinct” before the cult scene

Dutch director Paul Verhoeven returned in an interview with the Journal de Montreal, on the set of the legendary stage of Basic Instinct with Sharon Stone. According to him, the actress was very aware of what she was doing, proof: it would have made him a present full of humor just before turning this famous scene.

He loves controversy more than anything. Dutch director Paul Verhoeven, now aged 78, returned on the set of her movie Basic Instinct , released in 1992 with Sharon Stone in the lead role. The film is almost instantly became cult. One scene in particular has allowed him to enter posterity: one where the actress reveals a scientist uncrossing legs of some of its intimacy.
In an interview with Journal de Montreal , Saturday, Dec. 10, the director assured that he had not betrayed the trust of the actress to shoot this scene, contrary to what she said recently. ” When I suggested to Sharon Stone to shoot this scene during a dinner, I saw a kind of glimmer in her eyes, and she immediately said yes without hesitation ,” he has said.
For him, there was never any ambiguity. ” When we shot the scene, I asked everyone to leave, including Michael Douglas [the policeman who asks Sharon Stone in the scene, note]. There was that me and Jan de Bont, who was then my director of photography. She knew very well what we were doing , “he said. He added: ” She said she was not aware that I had filmed her vagina, but this is wrong. In addition, just before turning the stage, she offered me her little gift panties! That she always forgets to tell. ”
Yet the story of Sharon Stone diverges. Last summer, the mother of two boys, she adopted one, had told Paul Verhoeven had ” trapped ” by asking him to remove her white panties, saying it was ” too obvious ” for the stage but had promised him not to film his crotch.
For director on the other hand, the actress had indeed agreed, but seeing the end result would have been frightened and would ultimately be withdrawn on the advice of his agents. Who is right? In this case, as often it is word against word. What further fuel the bad reputation of the Dutch, whose latest film She , with Isabelle Huppert , also a lot about him. A new subversive opus, which tells a rape, and plays with the codes of thriller. The film is already tipped for the Oscars.
