Actor Billy Baldwin says he refused to kiss co-star Sharon Stone during filming of the 1993 movie “Sliver,” describing weeks of tension on set. He says the situation escalates to the point where he asks director Phillip Noyce not to require the kiss.
Multiple reports frame the account as part of a long-running dispute between Baldwin and Stone that has resurfaced in public discussion. The coverage focuses on Baldwin’s explanation for his decision and his characterization of the relationship with Stone on that production. Across outlets, the emphasis differs on how the feud is discussed—some frame it as renewed controversy, while others focus on Baldwin’s earlier account of what happened during filming—while remaining consistent that the refusal occurred during “Sliver” and involved Stone.
