โHe called me to his office. He had these very low โ70s, โ80s couches, so Iโm essentially sitting on the floor, when I should have been on set,โ Stone said on the โLouis Therouxโ podcast Monday.\
โAnd heโs running around his office in sunglasses explaining to me that he slept with Ava Gardner and I should sleep with Billy Baldwin, because if I slept with Billy Baldwin, Billy Baldwinโs performance would get better, and we needed Billy to get better in the movie because that was the problem.โ
Stone, now 66, said Evans believed sleeping with Baldwin, now 61 andย married to Chynna Phillips, would give the pair better โchemistry on screen,โ which would โsave the movie.โ
Stone said she grew frustrated with the filmmakers who had ignored her casting choices, which she felt wouldโve avoided the Baldwin problem altogether.ยฉParamount/Courtesy Everett Collection / Everett Collection โI didnโt have to fโk Michael Douglas,โ she said. โMichael could come to work and know how to hit those marks, and do that line, and rehearse and show up.โยฉParamount/Courtesy Everett Collection
โThe real problem with the movie was me because I was so uptight, and so not like a real actress who could just fโk him and get things back on track,โ she said.
โThe real problem was I was such a tight arse.โ
The โCasinoโ star admitted she was frustrated that the filmmakers had not listened to her suggestions on whom to cast instead of the โBio-Domeโ actor โ likeย Michael Douglas.
โI didnโt have to fโk Michael Douglas,โ she said.
โMichael could come to work and know how to hit those marks, and do that line, and rehearse and show up.

โNow all of a sudden Iโm in the โI have to fโk peopleโ business.โ
Stone first shared the uncomfortable situation in her 2021 memoir,ย โThe Beauty of Living Twice,โย but did not name Evans or Baldwin at the time.
โHe walked back and forth in his office with the balls falling out of the spout and rolling all over the wood floor as he explained to me why I should fโk my co-star so that we could have on-screen chemistry,โ she wrote in the tome.
โNow you think if I fโk him, he will become a fine actor? Nobodyโs that good in bed. I felt they could have just hired a co-star with talent, someone who could deliver a scene and remember his lines.โ

The Oscar nominee wrote that the film bosses could โfโk themselvesโ and leave her โout of it.โ
โIt was my job to act and I said so,โ she wrote.
