Hollywood star Sharon Stone just shocked her fans by revealing that she was once struck by lightning.
The 62 year-old Basic Instinct actress made this surprising revelation during an interview on the podcast “Films To Be Buried With,” which is hosted by Brett Goldstein. The podcast has a running joke about how the celebrity guest would die, so Goldstein asked Stone how she thinks she’d go.
“Which time?” she joked as she revealed she was once struck by lightning. “It’s really intense.”
“I was at home, we had our own well, I was filling the iron with water and I had my hand on the faucet, one hand on the iron and the well got it hit lightning and the lightning came up through the water,” Stone recounted. “I got picked up and thrown across the kitchen and I hit the refrigerator.”
The Casino star went on to say that she was in “such an altered state” after the incident and was immediately rushed to the hospital by her mother.
“The EKG was showing such electricity in my body, I had to go get EKGs every sing day for, like, 10 days,” Stone recalled. “It was so crazy.”
This was not the only near-death experience that Stone managed to survive. She also once had a clothesline cut her neck “within a 16th of an inch of her jugular vein” at just 14 years old, and she famously suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm in 2001.
Stone concluded by saying that she’s “tremendously lucky to be alive,” and we would have to agree with her!
This comes weeks after Stone made headlines by posting a bizarre video amidst the protests over the death of George Floyd in which she urged her fans to make “safe rooms” in their bathrooms.
“We’re in the middle of a riot and if you are anywhere where you feel unsafe in your home, this is what I want you to do. We’re going to make a safe room for you,” she said in the video. “Probably the safest bet that you have might be your bathroom because you have maybe the least windows and you’re the most tucked in there.”

Stone went on to tell her fans to load their bathrooms with various supplies like blankets, pillows, food, a cooler filled with water, as well as computer and cell phone chargers.
“Stay safe, don’t be overreactive,” she concluded the perplexing video. “This will come and go like all things do. Ok? Alright.”
