Sharon Stone demanded to use real knives instead of rubber utensils during filming for the action sequel Nobody 2

Sharon Stone got "frustrated" throwing rubber knives in Nobody 2.

The 67-year-old actress features in the upcoming action sequel as antagonist Lendina and demanded that real knives be used in the scenes to make things more authentic.

Sharon told Empire magazine: "I've been in the action-movie business for a really long time.

"I was getting really frustrated because the stunt team was having me throw a bunch of f****** rubber knives. If you're going to throw knives, throw real knives."

Sharon had not appeared in an action movie since suffering a life-threatening stroke in 2001 and admits that she had doubts about whether she could return to the genre after being approached for a role in the film alongside Bob Odenkirk.

The Basic Instinct star said: "Twenty years ago or so I had a stroke. And I started over, and I haven't done an action movie since then.

"I literally did not know, 'Do I still have it in me? Am I going to be able to come in here and make people believe that I can be this ass-kicking hyper-villain?'"
