Sharon Stone is not holding back about the actor that “kissed me out of my shoes.”
During a recent interview on SiriusXM’s “Radio Andy” on Wednesday, the 68-year-old actress got candid about her best on-screen kiss, admitting it was with Robert De Niro while filming “Casino” in 1995, calling him, “The best kisser in the business.”
“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,” Stone explained. “He gives me this money and I look at him like, ‘Really? I think a little more than $50 for the bathroom.’ And he … reaches in, and he gives me, like, $100, and then I lean over, and I kiss him.”
She went on to say that the kiss “really just knocked me out.”

After the film’s director, Martin Scorsese, called “cut,” Stone recalled him telling the actors that they got the shot, but could do it a second time if they wanted.
“We both looked at him and went, ‘Yeah, I think maybe we need one more,'” Stone said.
This is not the first time Stone has praised De Niro as her best on-screen kiss, previously telling Andy Cohen during a September 2020 episode of “Watch What Happens Live” that he “was far and away the best kisser.”
She went on to say that “there was just so much attached to” the kiss because De Niro was “the actor that I admired the most,” and all she wanted was to be able to “hold my own” while acting across from him.

“I was just so madly in love with him as an actress to start with, that he probably could have hit me in the head with a hammer and I would have been like, ‘Oh yeah!’” she added. “It was pretty fabulous, so I don’t know that I could compare anything else to that. Everything else was kind of like, meh.”
The two starred opposite each other in the 1995 classic, with the actress playing a former hustler and wife of mob enforcer Nicky Santoro (Joe Pesci), who works for Sam “Ace” Rothstein (Robert De Niro), the head of the Tangiers Casino.
Stone’s performance in the film earned her a Golden Globe Award win and an Academy Award nomination.
The “Basic Instinct” star will next star in the highly anticipated third season of “Euphoria,” playing a showrunner. During an appearance on “Today with Jenna & Sheinelle,” Stone shared what it was like joining a cast of young stars.

“We see these people with such a sense of joy and nostalgia. I remember when I was in that phase of my career…and I remember when this particular thing was happening in my career,” she said. “It’s so wonderful to be able to actually have an answer to any questions that they may have.”
She added that even if she doesn’t have an answer to their question, she feels good knowing “I at least have a similar experience” which she can draw from.
“Euphoria” season three also stars Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Maude Apatow, Jacob Elordi and others, and is set to premiere on HBO Max on April 12.
