Gisela Schober/German Select for Mercedes-BenzSharon Stone recently appeared on the cover of Shape magazine in a bikini and a sexy mesh top—and her body was smokin' hot.
Even so, the 56-year-old mom of three admits she's a little worried about taking her upcoming vacation.
"I haven't worked out in a couple of months because I just didn't feel like it," Stone told me while promoting her Sharity.com auction of her clothes to benefit Yala, a Middle East and North Africa peace initiative for young people. "But now I'm going on vacation and I know what they're going to do—[the tabloids] are going to put a circle around my ass and do one of those crazy magnified pictures saying, 'What happened to her ass? It's a bag of cheese.' I would just like to say it's a fine triple crème brie!"
She added with a laugh, "Right when they zoom in I should have a tattoo on my ass that says, 'You wish you could get a bite of this.'"
How can you not fall in love with this woman?!
When Stone does feel like exercising, the single mother hits her local 24-Hour Fitness gym. "I just go in there and I work out like a savage," she said.
She credits Jane Fonda for the inspiration. First for her legendary fitness videos "from 100 years ago" to hearing her say in an interview about 25 years ago, "If you're disciplined, you are free.'
"So I do what it takes," Stone said. "I go to the gym and I eat healthy."
At home, she hits her pool. "I put speakers under the water and I crank that up and I swim," Stone said. "I have those Styrofoam weights and noodles, too. My friends and I get in the pool and we hang on our noodles and bicycle while we talk all day. We do the old lady workouts."
