In a Spotify’s Louis Theroux Podcast episode, Stone, 66, shared an odd encounter in Evans’ office, aimed at enhancing her and Baldwin’s, 61, on-screen connection.

Sharon Stone exposed Robert Evans’ suggestion that her sleeping with Billy Baldwin could enhance their film, “Sliver.” Evans blamed Stone for being too reserved, labeling her the film’s problem.

On Spotify’s Louis Theroux Podcast, she voiced her frustration with Evans’ casting decisions, highlighting his preference for Baldwin over her recommendations.
