Sharon Stone flirts with Dev Patel by slapping him

bafta afterparty departures 090209
Imagine what it would be like to be 18 years old and starring in one of the biggest films of the year, a film that has won every major film award, a film that is a shoo-in for the Best Picture Oscar. People are throwing free clothes, free watches, free everything at you. You get to meet your idols in the film world – people like Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. It’s hard not to let it all go to your head.

Now imagine all this, and add to it a not-so-subtle flirtation by Sharon Stone. Such is the case for Dev Patel, the 18-year-old star of Slumdog Millionaire. At Sunday’s BAFTAs, Sharon couldn’t (or wouldn’t) keep her hands off of Dev. But Dev is a good kid, a smart kid. He just laughed it off. Thank God. The Mirror has more details:

As the young star of hit Brit flick Slumdog Millionaire, Dev Patel has his admirers – and, Stone us, if they don’t include a Hollywood dame old enough to be his gran!

The 18-year-old Harrow lad caught the eye of Basic Instinct star [50-year-old] Sharon Stone at the Orange Bafta Awards in London. And he couldn’t believe his luck.

Still on a high after Slumdog scooped seven awards, Dev told us: “Sharon’s great, she’s been flirting with me all night.”

“She was chasing me around earlier, slapping me.”

“Sharon Stone! Can you believe it?”

From The Daily Mirror

Slapping him? Sharon Stone slapped him? I’m assuming it was a play-slap, like “oh, aren’t you a cutie” kind of slap, but still, Sharon should keep her crazy hands to her crazy self. I have to give it to her though – at the BAFTAs, she looked better than she has in years. She was decked out in a pretty red dress and her hair looked half-decent. Maybe Sharon thought that part of her Hollywood comeback would include a torrid affair with a much younger, more relevant star? It sort of worked for Demi Moore.

    HATE sharon stone—dont know why,there are few people,let alone celebs whom I don’t even know,who i hate…but she is just blek!!!!!
    obnoxious,crazy but not in a good way-
    honestly,the vitriolic stuff that peope send Gwyneth and Madonna’s way-Sharon to me is way worse…she just is.
    She’s not that great of an actress,so narcissistic,growing old not so gracefully-same stuff as the other two.

    Wow! She must have done major works on her face. All of I can find a rather decent work, I must admit, but massive work, indeed! Look at her forehead and her cheeks are way to bumpy and fresh. It must be terrible to age in Hollywood. She at least had a good face doc unless some other actresses we all know…

    At first I thought, “Oh granny!” Then I thought, could you imagine what a great lover he would be after being trained by Sharon Stone?!

    She wasn’t dating Indian boys when she was a hot actress.

    Jees sharon. Look desperate for attention.
