Sharon Stone reportedly refused to use a body double for steamy sex scenes in 'Basic Instinct 2: Risk Addiction'.

The 47-year-old - who famously bared all in the raunchy interrogation scene in 'Basic Instinct' 13 years ago - was said to be determined to shoot the sexy encounters herself.

An insider told America's New York Daily News: "Believe me, she's still hot."

Earlier this month, the blonde star was voted the sexiest over-40 woman in the world.

The actress topped the poll conducted by top US magazine 'Sly', beating a host of older beauties to the accolade.

The magazine, which is owned by Hollywood actor Sylvester Stallone, said Stone scooped the title because "her potency to the male libido rivals that of Viagra".

She beat fellow forty-something model Elle Macpherson into second place, while pop beauty Madonna came third.

Other stars to make the top ten included 'The Perfect Storm' actress Diane Lane, model Iman, screen beauty Julianne Moore, Heather Locklear, 'CSI' star Marg Helgenberger, pop icon Tina Turner and 'Memoirs Of A Geisha' actress Gong Li.
