Sharon Stone revealed who she thinks is the best kisser in Hollywood — and it's not Michael Douglas.
The 68-year-old actress, who once filmed a number of steamy scenes with Douglas in Basic Instinct, named the 'best kisser in the business' out of her past costars.
While making an appearance on SiriusXM's Andy Cohen Live on Wednesday, she reflected on her favorite smooching partner she's had in her acting career so far.
She recalled how she once starred opposite Robert De Niro in Martin Scorsese's 1995 crime classic film Casino.
The pair played Ginger McKenna and Sam 'Ace' Rothstein, respectively, and portrayed love interests in the film.
She recalled how they filmed a steamy scene together and described how De Niro 'just knocked me out.'

She once starred opposite Michael Douglas in Basic Instinct. In the 1992 drama, the pair had a number of steamy scenes
'Oh my God. He's the best kisser in the business,' she said. 'Oh, he kissed me right out of my shoes.'
Prior to their kissing scene, Stone recalled how her character had to go to the bathroom and because Ginger is a 'hustler,' she gets De Niro's Ace to give her money.
She described how they locked lips after he hands her 50 dollars.
'And I look at him like, "Really, I think a little more than 50 for the bathroom." And he looks at me, and he reaches in and he gives me like a hundred,' she recalled.
She continued: 'Then I lean over and kiss him, and he just, really just knocked me out.'
She said, at that point, Scorsese called cut on the scene.
'Marty cut and he looks at us and he goes, "I think we got it, but would you guys like another one?" And we both looked at him and went, "Yeah, I think maybe we need one more."'
Just last year, Stone waxed poetic about how she admires De Niro and always hoped to work with him one day at the beginning of her career.

She opened up about how she auditioned multiple times to work with him before she finally got the chance to star alongside him in Casino.
'It was my dream to work with De Niro and hold my own,' she told Business Insider in August 2025.
In 2023, she also told Variety about how she enjoyed working with De Niro and their Casino costar Joe Pesci compared to other fellow actors in the field.
'I've worked with some of the biggest stars in the business, who will literally talk through my close-up, telling me what they think I should do,' she shared.
'They're so misogynistic — now, that is not Robert De Niro. That is not Joe Pesci. That is not those guys.'
