Billy Baldwin has finally responded to Sharon Stone’s claims abut Robert Evans – and the actor’s not happy.

In her 2021 book The Beauty of Living Twice, Stone alleged that a producer urged her to sleep with her co-star in a bid to improve his performance.

Stone didn’t share what film and which producer it was at the time of the book, but recently revealed all on Louis Theroux’s podcast last month.

She told Theroux her comments were about her film Sliver with Billy Baldwin, and the producer in question was Evans – who passed in 2019.

The racy thriller was released in 1993 and saw Stone and Baldwin’s characters Carly Norris and Zeke Hawkins have a sexual relationship.

Following the success of Basic Instinct, apparently there was pressure on Stone to ‘bring home another giant smash hit’.

Going on to recall her exchange with Sliver producer Evans, Stone further divulged to Theroux: “[Evans] called me to his office. He had these very low seventies, eighties couches, so I’m essentially sitting on the floor, when I should have been on set.”

She went on: “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.

“And we needed Billy to get better in the movie because that was the problem.”

Following Stone’s claims, Baldwin has spoken out on the matter himself – and he definitely didn’t hold back.

Billy Baldwin and Sharon Stone starred in 'Silver' together.

Taking to X yesterday (March 12), the 61-year-old wrote: “Not sure why Sharon Stone keep talking about me all these years later? Does she still have a crush on me or is she still hurt after all these years because I shunned her advances?

“Did she say to her gal pal Janice Dickinson the day after I screen tested and ran into them on our MGM Grand flight back to New York… ‘I’m gonna make him fall so hard for me, it’s gonna make his head spin.’ ???

“I have so much dirt on her it would make her head spin but I’ve kept quiet.”

Billy Baldwin responded to Stone's claims on social media.

He further fumed: “The story of the meeting I had with Bob Evans imploring him [to] allow me to choreograph the final sex scene in the photo below so I wouldn’t have to kiss Sharon is absolute legend.

“Wonder if I should write a book and tell the many, many disturbing, kinky and unprofessional tales about Sharon? That might be fun.”
