 
MAR 22 - Sharon Stone, who returns as the seductive Catherine
Tramell in "Basic Instinct 2," says she has no problem doing a nude
scene -- if it's right for the role.
"It's pretty easy for me to be naked," the 48-year-old actress said
Wednesday. "I'm a person who feels that if it's appropriate for the
character I'm playing or the mood of the piece, then it's no big
thing."
Stone is famously known for her "leg crossing" scene in 1992's
"Basic Instinct," which also starred Michael Douglas.
Stone said she wanted to go naked in the Basic Instinct sequel to
prove you don't have to be young to look sexy.
"By the time the film is released, I will be 48 and I wanted to do
the nudity in a way that's quite brazen," explained Sharon Stone.
"I wanted her to be very masculine, like a man in a steam room, and
I wanted the audience to have a moment where they realize she's
naked and then realize that she's a forty-something woman and naked.
"Because we're not used to seeing that in movies. We're used to
seeing Sean Connery and his granddaughter, you know what I mean? Or
Mel Gibson and his daughter," Sharon Stone mused.
In 2005 during a television interview for her movie Basic Instinct
2, Sharon Stone arguably came out as bisexual stating "Middle age is
an open-minded period."
Though in an interview on the Parkinson talk show in England on
March 18, 2006, Sharon Stone insisted she was straight.
The actress said she wouldn't object to her children seeing the
movies -- but added that it's not going to be anytime soon.
"When they're old enough to see that kind of material, then they're
old enough to see that kind of material," said Stone, who has two
young sons.
Stone, who was nominated for a best actress Oscar for 1995's
"Casino," said she was happy that she didn't try to lie about her
age to get roles after she turned 40. "You have to give them you
until you is what they want," she said.
"Basic Instinct 2" will be released later this month. Stone was in
Berlin to promote the movie.
