Los Angeles, April 1 – Hollywood actress Sharon Stone is not particularly keen on depicting intimate scenes on screen.
The actress has revealed that she "skips ahead" during sex scenes because she wants to maintain a sense of "mystery," according to 'Female First UK'.
The 68-year-old star of 'Basic Instinct' has admitted that she dislikes seeing "explicit sexuality" in TV or movies, so she refuses to watch such scenes at home.
During an interview on CBS Mornings, she said, "Often, when sex scenes appear on TV, I fast-forward. I don't want to see it."
She further added, "I don't want to have to endure all of this blatant, explicit sexuality. For me, it takes away from my own imagination. And I prefer my yearning, mystery, and desire. I want to keep that alive within myself."
According to 'Female First UK', Sharon also discussed her most suggestive scene in the 1992 thriller 'Basic Instinct', admitting that the movie significantly changed her career trajectory, but at a personal cost.
She explained, "Oh my God, it changed everything. In many ways, I felt unprotected and uncared for. And then, in many ways, I felt I was being punished for the behavior of others. There were things that were bizarrely inappropriate. People treated me in ways that were very cruel and unkind, as if I were some sort of slovenly, vulgar person... I mean, you know, I played a character, 30 years ago. Like, grow up."
Sharon also discussed joining the cast of the show 'Euphoria', revealing that she has known creator Sam Levinson since he was in school because she worked with his father, director Barry Levinson, on the 1998 sci-fi film 'Sphere'.
The actress, who worked with stars including Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney on 'Euphoria', admitted that she enjoyed being a part of season three.
She said, "We just had a good time. It was marvellous. All of those young people are a part of everything. They're so good, they're so talented. They've developed [these castmembers] into the biggest movie stars of their generation, and it's because of their impeccable talent, kindness, and grace. It's a joy to be there."
Sharon recently hinted that she might be considering another career change, as she believes acting on Broadway could be the next natural step for her, saying that she now feels "ready" to take to the stage and enter the world of live theatre.
