Actor Billy Baldwin hit back at Sharon Stone after she claimed a legendary Hollywood studio executive suggested they have sex in real life to promote on-screen chemistry.
Stone made the remarks during a recent appearance on “The Louis Theroux Podcast.” The “Total Recall” star said former Paramount Pictures head Robert Evans, who died in 2019, made the suggestion while filming the thriller “Sliver” (1993).
“[Evans is] running around his office in sunglasses explaining that he slept with Ava Gardner and I should sleep with Billy Baldwin, because [then] his performance would get better,” Stone said.
She continued, “If I could sleep with Billy, then we’d have chemistry on screen and save the movie. The real problem was me because I was so uptight, and not like a real actress who could just f*** him and get things back on track. The real problem was I was such a tightarse.”
Stone went on to compare the situation to her chemistry with her “Basic Instinct” co-star.
“I didn’t have to f*** Michael Douglas. Michael could come to work and know how to hit those marks, and do that line, and rehearse and show up,” she continued. “Now all of a sudden I’m in the ‘I have to f*** people’ business.”
Stone had mentioned the story previously in her memoir but didn’t specify who she was talking about.
Baldwin, the younger brother of actor Alec Baldwin, clapped back on X, saying he had secrets about Stone.

“Did she say to her gal pal Janice Dickinson the day after I screen tested and ran into them on our MGM Grand flight back to New York… ‘I’m gonna make him fall so hard for me, it’s gonna make his head spin.’ ???”
Baldwin wrote, “I have so much dirt on her it would make her head spin but I’ve kept quiet.”
The actor said he asked to choreograph the final sex scene in “Sliver” so he wouldn’t have to kiss his co-star.
“Wonder if I should write a book and tell the many, many disturbing, kinky and unprofessional tales about Sharon? That might be fun,” Baldwin concluded.
