Sharon Stone has never been one to hold back, and her latest candid revelation has left fans both surprised and delighted.
During an appearance on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live alongside host Andy Cohen and co-host John Hill, the Hollywood icon made a confession that instantly set the internet alight, naming her pick for the best kisser in the business. And, in true Sharon fashion, it was not the name many might expect.
Given her electric on-screen chemistry with Michael Douglas in Basic Instinct, many fans might have assumed he would top the list. But the 68-year-old had a different answer entirely.

“Oh my god. He’s the best kisser in the business,” she said, before revealing it was Robert De Niro who had quite literally swept her off her feet.
“Kissed me right out of my shoes,” she added, laughing as she recalled the moment.

The revelation came as Sharon looked back on filming Casino, the 1995 classic directed by Martin Scorsese, in which she starred opposite Robert. The film, widely regarded as one of her most iconic roles, clearly left more than just a cinematic legacy.
Recounting one particular scene, Sharon painted a vivid picture of the chemistry between the two actors. “I remember the day that we did this scene where I have to go to the bathroom and because I play this hustler, I get him to give me money to go to the bathroom,” she explained.

As the story goes, her character pushes for more cash, prompting Robert’s character to hand over a larger sum before she leans in for the now-infamous kiss. What followed, according to Sharon, was unforgettable.
“He just really just knocked me out,” she said.
The moment was so convincing, even behind the scenes, that director Martin Scorsese called cut, before cheekily offering the pair another take. “I think we got it, but would you guys like another one?” Sharon recalled him saying.

Their response was immediate and mutual. “Yeah, I think maybe we need one more,” she laughed.
Sharon revealed to Drew Barrymore on The Drew Barrymore Show that she’s currently single and content with her family and friends, noting, “I’m done dating. I enjoy my alone time and time with my kids and my friends more.” She also teased, “Here’s my boyfriend,” as she introduced her dog Bandit, a moment that Drew matched by introducing her dog Douglas. Sharon admitted dating apps weren’t much help, humorously noting that one match turned out to be “a heroin addict who was about 20,000 injections in.”relaBE surprised
