Sharon Stone has a crush on teenage Slumdog Millionaire star Dev Patel. The Basic Instinct star, who is 50, reportedly spent two days pursuing the 18-year-old actor during the BAFTA Awards weekend in London ��� much to his astonishment.
Dev told a London newspaper, ���Sharon is great, she has been flirting with me all night. She was chasing me around earlier, slapping me.
Sharon Stone! Can you believe it!��� Apparently, the yesteryear hottie whose steamy scenes in Basic Instinct and The Specialist are still the benchmark for Hollywood, had approached Dev at a pre-BAFTA���s party whispering praise in his ear for his performance in his debut film role. An onlooker at the party said: ���Dev is young enough to be her son ��� even her grandson, but that didn���t seem to stop Sharon flirting with him.���
The actress sat close to Dev at the awards show on Sunday and gave him a congratulatory kiss at the after-party to celebrate Slumdog Millionaire scooping seven of the prestigious awards. However, the night didn���t end smoothly for Sharon. She found herself stranded without a taxi to take her home from the party ��� held at London���s Grosvenor House Hotel. An onlooker told another London daily, ���After ranting for several minutes on her mobile phone, security took her back inside to wait for another car.���
Before this, Sharon was in the news for breaking off her whirlwind romance with Chase Dreyfous on whom little is known. He is 24, half her age.
