Sharon Stone claims she was struck by lightning while ironing at home and ‘thrown across the kitchen’ by powerful bolt – The Sun

BASIC Instinct legend Sharon Stone revealed she was struck by a billion-volt lightning bolt while ironing in her kitchen.

The Hollywood star claimed she was thrown across the room into a fridge and onto the floor.

The 62-year-old actress said the blast knocked into an “altered state” and was only saved when mom Dorothy, 87, stepped in.

Sharon revealed the shocking story while speaking on the Films To be Buried With podcast with Brett Goldstein.

Her mother apparently revived her by slapping her in the face before driving her to hospital in Beverly Hills.

Medics then gave her an electrocardiogram test and discovered the electricity still in her “off the scale.”

The mom-of-three said: “I was hit by lightning. Wow – it's really intense. I was at home, we had our own well.

“I was filling the iron with water, and I had one hand on the faucet.

"And the well got hit by lightning, and the lighting came up through the water.

''I got picked up and thrown across the kitchen, and I hit the refrigerator.

''And I was like whoa, and my mother was standing there.

"And my mother just belted me across the face and brought me to.

''I was in such an altered state, just so, I don't know how to describe it, so bright, like wow, and she threw me in the car and drove me to hospital.

"And the EKG was showing just such electricity in my body.

''It was so crazy.''

This was not the Golden Globe-winner’s first brush with death after suffering a stroke in 2001.

Speaking to Oprah Winfrey in 2004, she said: “I had that whole white light thing.”

She recalled going to the doctor for an MRI when the weird sensation occurred.

Sharon added: “I kind of had that thing where it’s sort of like passing out, except you pass up.

“It’s a lot of white light, and you see people that have passed on.

"And they talk to you, and you pop back into your body.

"And you’re awake.”

The star is set to release her autobiography, The Beauty of Living Twice, this year.

She recently said she was sick of being asked about an infamously explicit scene in Basic Instict.

Sharon said earlier this year: “When will the same questions ever stop? “The short film scene was shot in another century and has dominated my life ever since. I’m just fed up with it.”
