When you think of being struck by lightning, you probably imagine it happening outside during a thunderstorm, right?
Either way, it's a very unlikely thing to happen. There is a long list of things that are far more likely to happen before being struck by lightning, at any rate.
But in a recent interview on Brett Goldstein’s Films to Be Buried With podcast, Sharon Stone revealed that she had a "really intense" experience being struck by lighting inside of her home.
The 62-year-old is best known for many of the roles she took on back in the '90s!
But since then, she has not stopped working. She has been in countless movies and TV shows, as recent as this year.
Which, when you think about it, is really unlikely and unfortunate event.
"You know, I've never gotten to spend this much time with my teenage sons. So, I'm really happy I — you know, they don't get to really complain about hanging out with me," she said, laughing.
"You know, I give them all the time they want on their computers and in exchange, we have dinner together every day."
That's not a bad deal, tbh! Unlimited computer time plus dinner with Sharon Stone every evening. Not a bad trade-off, I gotta say!
"And it's good! You know, it's actually fun, and we're doing things together that we enjoy and we feel so blessed," she went on.
"So far, everything's okay. We're really grateful. You know, we have to talk about it before we eat. We sit down at the table and we either say a prayer or we talk about it or we have some moments of gratitude," she explained.
It sounds like an absolutely terrifying thing to happen to someone!
"And the well got hit with lightning and the lighting came up through the water."
THROUGH THE WATER — I. Am. Shook. That's insanity at its finest.
“I got picked up and thrown across the kitchen, and I hit the refrigerator,” she said. “I was like, ‘Whoa!’”
That is so crazy, wow.
“My mother was standing there, and my mother just belted me across the face and brought me to."
Thank goodness her mama was around, otherwise, it would have been a lot worse!
"Just so — I don't know how to describe it," she went on, explaining that her mom drove her to the hospital afterward.
Poor girl, that sounds tramuatizing.
"The EKG was just showing such electricity in my body. I had to go [inaudible] for like, 10 days. It was so crazy. It was like 'ZZZZ,'" she said, mimicking the sound of electricity.
I'm glad that she lived to tell the tale because this story is absolutely insane — one for the books, no doubt!
