In the interview, he said his “memory is radically different” from that account.

“That does not stand in the way and has nothing to do with the wonderful way that she portrayed Catherine Tramell. She is absolutely phenomenal,” he added.

“We still have a pleasant relationship and exchange text messages…but her version is impossible. She knew exactly what we were doing.”

He went on to say that he told Sharon ahead of time that the scene “was based on a story of a woman that I knew when I was a student who did the crossing of her legs without panties regularly at parties.”

“When my friend told her we could see her vagina, she said, ‘Of course, that’s why I do it.’ Then Sharon and I decided to do a similar sequence.”
