Sharon Stone finally revealed the name of the producer who pressured her to have sex with a co-star in an effort to get a “better” performance.

The “Basic Instinct” star divulged that Robert Evans wanted her to get intimate with Billy Baldwin while they filmed 1993’s “Sliver.”

“He 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,” Stone said on the “Louis Theroux” podcast.

“And 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.”

Stone, now 66, said Evans believed sleeping with Baldwin, now 61 and married to Chynna Phillips, would give the pair better “chemistry on screen,” which would “save the movie.”

“… the real problem with the movie was me because I was so uptight, and so not like a real actress who could just f–k him and get things back on track,” she said. “The real problem was I was such a tight arse.”

The “Casino” star admitted she was frustrated that the filmmakers hadn’t listened to her suggestions of who to cast instead of the “Bio-Dome” actor — like Michael Douglas.

“I didn’t have to f–k Michael Douglas,” she said. “Michael could come to work and know how to hit those marks, and do that line, and rehearse and show up.

“Now all of a sudden I’m in the I-have-to-f–k-people business.”

“He walked back and forth in his office with the balls falling out of the spout and rolling all over the wood floor as he explained to me why I should f–k my co-star so that we could have on-screen chemistry,” she wrote in the tome.

“Now you think if I f–k him, he will become a fine actor? Nobody’s that good in bed. I felt they could have just hired a co-star with talent, someone who could deliver a scene and remember his lines.”

The famed director and producer died in 2019 at age 89. WireImage “Sliver” flopped at the box office.

The Oscar nominee wrote that the film bosses could “f–k themselves” and leave her “out of it.”

“It was my job to act and I said so,” she wrote.

Stone shared “Sliver” earned $280 million at the box office despite being considered a major flop. Evans died 2019 at age 89.
