00:00Sharon Stone just told me about the time Robert De Niro pissed her off on the set of Casino.
00:04And I remember thinking, oh, you crossed a line today, mister.
00:09We obviously know Sharon Stone from movies like Basic Instinct and The Quick and the Dead.
00:13And in 1996, she was Oscar nominated for her performance in Martin Scorsese's Casino.
00:18Stone had wanted to be working with De Niro for years and had been auditioning time and time again,
00:23but never got anything until Casino came around.
00:26And it was my dream. It was my dream to work with.
00:29Like, it was my, that's the apex.
00:31I want to work with De Niro and hold my own.
00:33That was the first thing when my, it's all my acting teacher.
00:36What do you want? I want to work with De Niro.
00:38I want to sit off at the table and I want to hold my own.
00:41But what I learned is Stone got really pissed off at De Niro for a way he delivered a specific line at her.
00:47And I'm sitting with him and he looks at me and he goes, you're a pretty good actress, aren't you?
00:51You're a good actress, you know that?
00:53Good fucking actress.
00:54And I remember in that scene when he said it, how furious it made me because it was my dream to do it.
01:02And then he challenged me at the table.
01:04And I remember thinking, oh, you crossed a line today, mister.
01:08Because he knew every button to go for with me.
01:11But Stone realized De Niro was doing this to heighten her performance.
01:15He is the greatest observational.
01:18I mean, he can crawl under your skin and get in there.
01:21He's so good.
01:22I mean, what an actor.
01:23What an actor.
01:24I'm a sucker.
01:25Stone gave me a lot more dishy insight about her career, like her fight with Michael Douglas before the making of Basic Instinct
01:31and getting slapped by Gene Hackman on the set of The Quick of the Dead.
