Sharon Stone Names De Niro Best Kisser from Casino
Sharon Stone has named her Casino co-star Robert De Niro as the best kisser she has worked with in Hollywood, recalling a memorable scene from the 1995 film during a recent interview.
The 68-year-old actress shared the anecdote on April 1 while appearing on SiriusXM's Radio Andy, hosted by Andy Cohen. Stone, who played hustler Ginger McKenna opposite De Niro's casino boss Sam "Ace" Rothstein in the Martin Scorsese-directed crime thriller, described a pivotal moment in the production. "We did this scene where I have to go to the bathroom, and because I play this hustler, I get him to give me money to go," she said. In the sequence, her character negotiates for more cash, receiving $100 before leaning in for the kiss. "And he just really knocked me out," Stone added, emphasizing the impact. "He kissed me right out of my shoes."
The exchange left an impression on the set as well. Stone recounted that Scorsese called cut and initially believed he had the shot. "I think we got it, but would you guys like another one?" the director asked, according to Stone. Both actors agreed to redo the take, underscoring the scene's intensity.
