Sharon Stone, 67, goes TOPLESS and writhes around with co-star Halle Berry's ex in raciest shoot ever
Sharon Stone channeled her Basic Instinct bombshell character Catherine Trammell as she stripped off her raciest shoot ever this week. The actress, 67, went topless beneath a sheer dress as she was worshipped by a plethora of hunky male models - including her former Catwoman co-star Halle Berry 's ex Gabriel Aubry. The star exuded confidence as she flashed her bust while striking a sultry pose for the camera - before writhing around with Aubry, 48, who shares a daughter with Berry. The star also channeled femme fatale Trammell's power suit look as she sported a blazer with nothing underneath - as well as a coiffed hairdo. A further risque snap saw the star in apparent ecstasy lying across Aubrey's lap with her legs slung over his shoulder and leaning in for an embrace with him. Aubry was in a relationship with Berry, 58, from 2005-2010 and they share Nahla, 16. 'She is, and will forever be, one of the most special and beautiful people that I have ever known, and I am certain that we will continue to have only love and respect for one another,' Aubry gushed after the breakup. They insisted they would 'remain friends and committed parents', but soon became embroiled in legal proceedings instead after Berry tried to relocate to France with Nahla to live with her now ex-husband Olivier Martinez. During one custodial hand-over on the driveway of Halle's home Martinez and Aubry were involved in a bust-up and were both treated for injuries. She also tried to bar Aubry from having any contact with Nahla in 2012 after cops investigated him for allegedly shoving his nanny through a door while she was holding the then-two-year-old girl. The worker claimed she was left 'psychologically traumatized' but a judge denied her request for a restraining order and Aubry was never charged over the spat. Last year Stone shocked as she said her iconic and controversial Basic Instinct interrogation scene now seems 'very ordinary' compared to raunchy present-day films. Aubry was certainly getting up close and personal with Stone The famed scene sees the prime suspect quizzed by police, including Michael Douglas. Amid the bombardment of questions, Catherine distracts them when she uncrosses then recrosses her legs, leaving the men flustered seeing as she was underwear-free at the time. Appearing at the Taormina Film Festival, the star said - per Deadline -that while the scene was considered X-rated at the time, nowadays it would have lost its shock factor. She said:'[at the time] it seemed like a scandal, and now it seems very, very ordinary. 'I think that now that women are writing, directing, producing, filming and more and more a part of filmmaking, films are less about men writing films about their fantasies of the way women are 'And actresses are less asked to portray the male fantasy, and then critics are less asked to tell us if we fulfilled the male fantasy or not. It's more, are we fulfilling the human condition?' Reflecting on how cinema had changed in the past 30 years, she said: 'Studio systems have changed dramatically. 'They've changed from making a variety of movies to making these gigantic $100 and $200 million films. 'Thirty years ago we had choices of what kind of films we could see. 'Streamers are taking over our business, and I don't think that's a terrible thing. I think we're coming back to making smaller films and a variety of films, and I think that's a good thing.' Despite the moment turning Sharon into an overnight sensation, the Academy Award nominee has maintained in the past that she was 'tricked' into exposing herself for the cameras. In her memoir The Beauty of Living Twice, Sharon described how she slapped her director Paul Verhoeven in fury and walked out of a preview of the erotic thriller after discovering his assurances that it wouldn't show up on screen had been a lie and that the audience could — as she put it — 'see all the way to Nebraska'. For his part, Verhoeven has vehemently dismissed her claims that she was taken by surprise in the leg-crossing scene. He said: 'Any actress knows what she's going to see if you ask her to take off her underwear and point there with the camera.' But the Hollywood veteran has also been adamant she didn't have any regrets about making the film.

Truth about Sharon Stone's iconic Basic Instinct scene revealed
Don't miss out on the headlines from Movies. Followed categories will be added to My News. Sharon Stone is no Hollywood Karen. Never afraid to speak her mind or seek fair compensation for her work, Stone, 67, has been in the headlines for her criticism of Hollywood's pay gap. In a resurfaced 2023 interview with Deadline, Stone revealed how she is still offered far less money than her male co-stars, despite being a world-famous star. 'Thirty years ago, when I did Basic Instinct, Michael Douglas made $14 million and I made $500,000,' she told Deadline. 'Last year, there was a $100 million film being made by a studio, and the actor, who was new, was going to be paid something like $8 million or $9 million – someone we don't really know – and the studio offered me again $500,000 to be the female lead. 'And I thought, 30 years later this is still happening. So, I don't think it has changed much.' Sharon Stone has been working in Hollywood for decades. Picture: Getty Making Basic Instinct wasn't an ego-boosting experience for Stone. In her autobiography, The Beauty Of Living Twice, she described the humiliation of the producer constantly calling her 'Karen' and being reminded she was the 'thirteenth choice' for the role of Catherine Tramell. Plus, Stone was duped into filming the movie's infamous leg-crossing scene, only discovering she had exposed herself at a screening. 'That was how I saw my vagina-shot for the first time, long after I'd been told: 'We can't see anything – I just need you to remove your panties, as the white is reflecting the light, so we know you have panties on,'' she wrote. 'Yes, there have been many points of view on this topic, but since I'm the one with the vagina in question, let me say: The other points of view are bullsh*t … It was me and my parts up there.' Describing herself as the 'the last of the sex symbols' in an interview with the BBC, Stone explained how her Basic Instinct fame has been a double-edged sword. On one hand it put her on the map in Hollywood and gave her a platform to raise money for AIDS charities, but it also came at a huge personal cost. Appearing on Bruce Bozzi's Table For Two podcast, Stone said her groundbreaking performance was weaponised against her during a custody battle with her ex-husband Phil Bronstein. 'The judge asked my child – my tiny little boy, 'Do you know your mother makes sex movies?' Like, this kind of abuse by the system – that I was considered what kind of parent I was, because I made that movie,' she reflected on losing custody of her eldest adopted son Roan. Michael Douglas with Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct . Picture: Supplied. Throughout her 30+ years in the spotlight, Stone has struggled with her femme fatale image. Far from being a sex siren, before Basic Instinct Stone insists she was 'still shy and introverted', and had to be coaxed into embracing a more sexually confident persona. 'Chuck, my manager at the time, had told me that no one would hire me because everyone said I wasn't sexy,' she wrote. 'I wasn't, as they liked to say in Hollywood at the time, 'f**kable'.' All that changed after Basic Instinct, and the line between Stone herself and her character became blurred for many in the industry. On Louis Theroux's podcast, Stone divulged that producer Robert Evans had asked her to have sex with her Sliver co-star Billy Baldwin to save the film from being a flop. '[Evans is] running around his office in his sunglasses, explaining to me that he slept with Ava Gardner and I should sleep with Billy Baldwin, because if I slept with Billy Baldwin, Billy Baldwin's performance would get better,' Stone remembered. 'And we needed Billy to get better in the movie, because that was the problem.' Stone refused. And was painted as the villain of the Sliver set by Evans, who told everyone she had the charm of a barracuda. It all became part of the enduring narrative that Stone is demanding. There was talk she'd pulled a gun on a Basic Instinct cameraman to warn: 'If I see one ounce of cellulite on the screen, you're a dead man.' Then she was painted as greedy for taking producers of the sequel to court. And in his gossip-laden autobiography, Red Carpets And Other Banana Skins, Rupert Everett moaned how Stone had kept cast and crew waiting on the set of their 2004 film A Different Loyalty. Stone has claimed that she didn't realise how explicit the iconic scene was until she saw the film at its premiere. Picture: Supplied. While unapologetic about being a strong woman in Hollywood, surviving a catastrophic stroke has given Stone fresh perspective. In a candid speech at the Women's Brain Health Initiative panel in 2017, she described how the life-threatening brain injury – which, she was told, only had a 1 per cent survival rate – made her re-evaluate a lot of things. 'I had lost my marriage, lost custody of my child, lost my place in line in the business, lost all my money because I was paying so many different things,' she detailed. '[I was] scraping by. I know what it's like to go through a situation where you are the top, top, top of your field, to [be] absolutely wiped out.' Celebrate Stone's return from the brink with a watch of these seminal roles. The Quick And The Dead: Stone joins gunslinging Oscar-winners Russell Crowe, Gene Hackman and Leonardo DiCaprio in this under-appreciated Western directed by Sam Raimi. Sharon Stone: Survival Instinct: 'I feel like my biggest achievement is surviving, because it's a big deal to survive in a business such as this,' Stone says in this documentary exploring her Hollywood career. Streets Of Blood: Set in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, this crime thriller sees Stone playing a therapist trying to help shattered police detectives deal with their struggles.
