Writing on X, formerly Twitter, Baldwin said: “Not sure why Sharon Stone keep talking about me all these years later?
“Does she still have a crush on me or is she still hurt after all these years because I shunned her advances? Did she say to her gal pal Janice Dickinson the day after I screen tested and ran into them on our MGM Grand flight back to New York.
“I’m gonna make him fall so hard for me, it’s gonna make his head spin. I have so much dirt on her it would make her head spin but I’ve kept quiet.”
He added: “The story of the meeting I had with Bob Evans imploring him allow me to choreograph the final sex scene in the photo below so I wouldn’t have to kiss Sharon is absolute legend.
“Wonder if I should write a book and tell the many, many disturbing, kinky and unprofessional tales about Sharon? That might be fun.”
Sliver was widely criticised when it was released, earning Razzie and Stinker awards for the worst film of the year.
‘No suspense, no drama, no logic’
One review lamented there was “no suspense, no drama, no tension, no logic” and called Baldwin’s performance “unbearably flat”.
Stone also told the podcast that she lost custody of her adopted son, Roan, because of her role in Basic Instinct, filmed a year before Sliver.
In one famous scene, her character is being interrogated by the police when she slowly uncrosses and crosses her legs, revealing that she is not wearing any underwear.
More than a decade later, a judge asked Roan during a custody battle if he knew that “your mother makes sex movies?”.
He eventually decided that the eight-year-old should stay with Phil Bronstein, Stone’s former husband. The couple had adopted Roan in 2000 following a string of miscarriages.
Stone said the loss of her son left her in “shock”, causing her to stop eating and eventually ending up in hospital.
Referring to the scene, she said: “Because of that, people tried to diminish me as a person [for] playing this incredibly powerful, manipulative, sociopathic character and for playing it well.
“But because you saw this quarter of a frame up my skirt, they wanted to diminish me as a human being, me personally, the woman who played the part. And I mean, I lost custody of my child over that.
“The judge said that I made sex films. The judge asked my tiny child if he knew that his mother made sex films. I was in shock.
“I ended up in the Mayo Clinic with an extra heartbeat in the upper and lower chambers of my heart, because I just stopped eating.”
She added: “I didn’t even know what was happening to me. I was just so confused that I could play a part for three months and lose my child.”
