Sharon Stone hasn’t always had the perfect figure — at least not in her own eyes.
“When I was 20, after my horseback-riding accident, I was given cortisone shots and I gained a lot of weight from that, like 45 pounds,” she says in the March issue of Shape magazine, on stands Tuesday.
“I looked a little like Anna Nicole Smith, with a tiny waist, big boobs, and a big butt. Everywhere I went, men went insane over my va-va-voom body.” But, the actress recalls, “I just wanted to die and I became an introvert.”
Now 55 and fit, Stone admits aging hasn’t been easy for her. “There was a point in my 40s when I went into the bathroom with a bottle of wine, locked the door, and said, ‘I’m not coming out until I can totally accept the way I look right now,’ ” she says. “I examined my face in the magnifying mirror, and I looked at my body, and I cried and cried and cried . . . I thought, ‘I’d like to age like a dancer.’ I want to keep my body in shape like that.”
