Michael Douglas has responded to Sharon Stone ’s claims that the pair had an argument before starring in Basic Instinct together. Stone, 67, claimed that the pair fought at the Cannes Film Festival about her acquaintance and their children in a new interview with Business Insider.

Michael Douglas responded after former costar Sharon Stone said in an interview that they got into a 'heated' argument when they first met and later 'became the greatest of friends.' Douglas says he is 'very surprised' by Stone's recollection.

"I pushed back my chair and said to him, 'Let's step outside,'" Stone said of their alleged confrontation in Cannes.
