Sharon Stone reveals her 'unsettling' career-long fear of being shot by a fan following a chat with Sylvester Stallone


The 66-year-old actress' fears grew from the trauma of her breakout role in Basic Instinct, which turned her into an overnight celebrity.

When Sharon reprised her crossed-legs pose from 1992 film Basic Instinct for social media this month, while wearing red lace underwear, she was criticised for being too old for such a saucy post. The actress took to Instagram earlier this month to share the jaw-dropping image clad in red lace lingerie, 32 years after she famously starred as the sexy killer Catherine Tramell. In her memoir The Beauty of Living Twice, the 66-year-old 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'.
