Twenty years and a near-fatal brain haemorrhage later, Sharon Stone is back with a toy boy lover, three growing sons and many films in her kitty
Her infamous leg-crossing scene from the 1992 flick Basic Instinct, where she played a bisexual crime writer, is impossible to forget. The film turned her into Hollywood's hottest sex bomb overnight.
Twenty years later, Sharon Stone (54) goes down memory lane with a leading website. "It's funny but I never knew I was hot or could be beautiful until I saw Basic Instinct. That's when I realised I could play hot parts," recalls the actress, adding, "I didn't start out being the hot girl. I learned how to be hot. Until then I was a nerd - the clever girl."
Sharon Stone has been keeping a low profile for a while but is back with a bang, fully recovered from a near-fatal brain haemorrhage, with three growing sons, a toy boy lover, several films awaiting release and a co-starring role with Woody Allen. "You don't go through all I've been through and come back and go on with your career unless you're going to take some very big challenges," she says seriously and adds that she doesn't really care about failure. "I failed at the biggest things there are in life. I failed in my health, I failed in my marriage, I failed in everything and I've picked myself up and gone on. I was really lucky not to die, so it feels fantastice to be older and alive, and to be playing older and alive people," she says.
Talking about her sons Quinn, Laird and Roan, whom she's just dropped to school, Sharon says, "They're aged six, seven and 12 and when they're not in school, they come everywhere with me. Watching children grow up, you learn a lot about life and about being a better person." Sharon shares custody of the oldest, Roan, with her former husband, Phil Bronstein, from whom she was divorced eight years ago. After several romances, she is currently dating 27-year-old Argentinian model Martin Mica. "Yes, he's younger than me. Younger's good, right?" she says defiantly.
Remembering the time when she was shown the rough cut of the sequel to Basic Instinct, she says, "I asked them where all the crazy stuff had gone. I wanted to show more." Her career slipped after earning a Best Actress Oscar nomination in 1995 for Casino. She was still married to Bronstein when she suffered a brain haemorrhage in September 2011. Recalling the pain, she says, "My head blew up. It was almost as if I was shot. I was haemorrhaging into my brain for 11 days before they found out what was going on." However, much later, she had what she calls the 'white light' experience. She nursed herself back to health with medication, faith and spiritual healing. But her marriage broke up and she decided to go back to work. Today, apart from playing a TV reporter caught up in human trafficking in Border Run, she portrays porn star Linda Lovelace's mother in Lovelace and goddess Aphrodite in Gods Behaving Badly, both slated for release early next year. She has four films lined up, including Fading Gigolo with Woody Allen, in which she plays a 'colour-blind, lesbian dermatologist involved in a menage a trois'. "It's kind of a relief to play character roles because how long can you wear high heels?" she laughs.
