Sharon Stone says Robert Evans asked her to sleep with “Sliver” co-star Billy Baldwin in 1993 to boost their on-screen chemistry, naming the producer and actor for the first time since describing the situation as a blind item in her 2021 memoir.

Speaking on Louis Theroux’s podcast, Stone, 66, said Evans summoned her from the set to his office to make the request for her to sleep with leading man Baldwin. Stone said Evans believed sleeping with Baldwin, now 61, would give the pair better “chemistry on screen,” which would “save the movie.”

She explained: “He’s running around his office in sunglasses explaining to me that he slept with Ava Gardner and I should sleep with Billy Baldwin, because if I slept with Billy Baldwin, Billy Baldwin’s performance would get better.
