Sharon Stone struggled with ageing

In an interview with Germany's Vogue magazine edition, the actress admitted there was a time where she really didn't "accept" her body, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"There was a point in my forties when I went into the bathroom with a bottle of wine, locked the door, and said, 'I won't get out until I can fully accept my body'," said the 62-year-old.

Meanwhile, Stone had previously admitted that she loves her body "so much more" now she is older.

She said: "I like my body so much more. I'm so grateful to my body. When I was younger, everybody was telling me what was wrong with my body - too this, too that."

The actress says she hated when she had to apply loads of make-up for her role as Catherine Tramell in 1992's "Basic Instinct".

She said: "When I got on 'Basic Instinct', they hired a make-up artist that put on pounds of make-up every day, and every day I went to my trailer and took the make-up off. But I wasn't allowed to choose my make-up artist, nor was my name (above the title) on the poster."
