Now this might come as a shock to many but the truth is that Sharon Stone knew about the famous crossing-uncrossing-of-legs shot in Basic Instinct. She was not only aware about it but welcomed it so much that she gave the film director her panties as souvenir.
So, are you wondering about the surprise look of Sharon Stone? Well, it was fake. That’s the truth according to director Paul Verhoeven.
Paul said:
Sharon Stone gave me her panties as a present before we did the famous (crotch) shot.
He further added:
(She) had approved the storyboards, even though she later acted surprised by what made it into the movie.
We always knew Sharon could act but now we know that she could act in real life, too. Perhaps, the surprise expressed by Sharon added to the popularity of the scene.
