Sharon StoneSharon Stone has nothing but praise for Stan Collymore’s film debut alongside her in Basic Instinct 2.

“Working with Stan was so extraordinary. He is the loveliest, most chivalrous, most charming and most professional person,” she gushed at the film’s press conference this week.

The pair had to perform their own stunts including a scene where their car plunges into the River Thames.

“I’ve done a lot of stunts in movies and I have never done anything that was as difficult or demanding as this sequence,” Sharon commented.

“It was physically very difficult to be underwater for so long and it’s also really daunting to have that drowning effect over and over again, it’s psychologically very oppressive.”

“You can’t do that unless you are partnering someone you really trust. We built a really solid bond of trust.”

“We were each other’s life support to make that scene work and to literally survive what was a really dangerous stunt.

“There’s no one I would have felt safer with than Stan.”
