American actress Sharon Stone, 61, left those attending the GQ Men awards gala speechless by recreating the most sensual crossing of legs in film history.
The interpreter participated in the GQ magazine awards gala, 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 movie that brought her fame and hinted 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 Low Instincts (1992) changed her life forever.
During the ceremony, the actress recalled how the scene in question had arisen. “A few years ago, I was sitting on set and my director said to me: ‘Can you pass me your panties, because they are in the scene and you shouldn't be wearing them, but [calm down] we won't see anything,'” Stone recalled. “I said sure, but I didn't know that that moment was going to change my life,” she said Stone 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?" the actress asked those present.
She then encouraged everyone to recreate 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 Catherine Tramell's interrogation scene, it is considered one of the slowest moments in film history.
A couple of years ago, Sharon uploaded to her Twitter account a minute into her audition. We see her, in the foreground with, a disheveled,, voice, a mischievous smile, a drink, and a cigarette. After that minute it was impossible not to give her the role.
In 1992, the year of the release of Bass Instincts, Sharon Stone was 34 years old and had been trying to make herself known in Hollywood for a decade. She had participated in a dozen films but without actually starring in them. She jumped at her chance when she played him a good part in Paul Verhoeven's Future Avenger, who would also direct Low Instincts.
The moment that would lead her to become an S- symbol was not like that in the script. Verhoeven asked her to take off her panties because they reflected the light from her when she uncrossed her legs and promised that nothing of her could be seen.
Years ago, her laughter, when asked if she had experienced bullying situations, went viral on social networks. “Can you imagine what it was like when I came here 40 years ago? With my appearance? Coming from nowhere, Pennsylvania. I arrived without any protection. I've seen it all," said the actress.
