Sharon Stone knows exactly who she would want to kiss again in Hollywood.
Stone, 68, revealed that Robert De Niro is “the best kisser in the business” during a Wednesday, April 1, episode of SiriusXM’s Radio Andy. She then closed her eyes and sighed while reminiscing on their smooch, which happened while filming 1995’s Casino, and said, “Kissed me right out of my shoes.”
The actress elaborated on their kiss, sharing, “I remember the day that 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 to the bathroom.”
She continued, “And he gives me this money 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, $100 and then I lean over and I kiss him.”

Stone gushed that De Niro, 82, “knocked [her] out” with the kiss.
“[Director Martin Scorsese] 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.’”
Cohosts Andy Cohen and John Hill laughed along with Stone. “That’s amazing. That’s awesome. Wow,” Cohen, 57, said.
Stone previously praised her kiss with De Niro during a 2020 episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen when a fan called in and asked the Basic Instinct star to name the “best and worst” actors she’d kissed on screen.
“Robert De Niro was for sure the best kisser,” she answered. “[He] was far and away the best kisser. [De Niro] was the actor that I admired the most, and my whole career was like, ‘I just want to be able to sit across the table from Robert De Niro and hold my own.’ Maybe because I just held him in such extraordinary high regard and it was the pinnacle of the kissing moment for me.”

She continued, “There was so much attached to [the kiss], but I was just so madly in love with him.” Stone joked that De Niro “probably could have hit [her] in the head with a hammer” and she still would have been happy to be in his presence.
“It was pretty fabulous,” she said with a smile. “I don’t know if I could compare anything else to that. Everything else was kind of meh.”
