Michael Douglas Sees Himself As A S*x Expert
Michael Douglasis most iconically known for his work inBasic Instinct.The movie had a great number of intimate scenes which the actor compared to action sequences. He has done so many s*x scenes that the actor sees himself as an expert in that department. He broke down the key ways to get these sequences done because he has been doing them even before intimacy coordinators were a thing.
“You tell them beforehand when you’re starting: ‘Alright, I’m going to put my hand here. Is that alright? Okay, you put your hand here and then we’re going to go kiss, kiss, and then we are going to go … we’re going to go down.'”

Sharon Stone Was Not Comfortable With Intimate Scenes With Michael Douglas
BeforeSharon Stoneand Michael Douglas didBasic Instincttogether, they had met each other only a handful of times. She focused on how despite their on-screen chemistry, their off-screen dynamic wasn’t as vibrant. They were seemingly never comfortable around each other and there was a certain tension she could never really pinpoint.
“I really felt that he and I could have a certain strange, dynamic energy together. I was never comfortable around him, and I don’t think he was comfortable around me.”
That did not stop her from giving her best performance though. She used this dynamic to manifest a relationship between both her and Douglas’s characters. She did also claim that it was a conscious decision to not get close to her co-star in order to maintain an element of mystery and mesmerization, something she wanted to portray with her character.
