Stone at premiere of Basic Instinct sequel

Actress Sharon Stone was a shady lady tonight at the world premiere of Basic Instinct 2.

Actress Sharon Stone was a shady lady tonight at the world premiere of Basic Instinct 2.

The 48-year-old star wore sunglasses as she faced the photographers’ flashbulbs on the red carpet.

She was joined by British co-star David Morrissey, who replaces Michael Douglas in this Basic Instinct sequel.

And Stone said Morrissey made a very sexy leading man.

“I was thrilled when he took his clothes off,” she said of their nude scene together.

It is 14 years since the first film, in which Stone infamously uncrossed her legs on camera.

Basic Instinct 2: Risk Addiction sees the actress reprise her role as ice-pick-wielding killer Catherine Tramell.

Morrissey plays a psychiatrist hired to evaluate her after the mysterious death of a sports star character played by former footballer Stan Collymore, who also attended the premiere.

Stone said the new film contained more nudity and “kinky” scenes than the original.

It is set in London and Stone said: “I’m so happy to be here because I love it so much. But I can’t move here permanently because I’d kill myself in Harvey Nichols. I’d be broke in a week.”

Asked how she maintained her looks, Stone replied: “People ask me this so much I’m thinking I ought to make an exercise video. I’ve exercised a little but over a long period of time.”

Her top tip: “I don’t take escalators.”

Stone is mum to adopted sons Roan, two, and Laird, one.

Asked if there was a man in her life, she laughed: “There’s two and they are under three feet tall.”

Stone wore a black dress by designer Holly Would with a fur wrap by Vera Wang and jewels by Chopard.

Other celebrities at the premiere in Leicester Square included Jodie Marsh, football pundit Graeme Le Saux and Peaches Geldof.
