Dev Patel apparently has a new admirer in the shape of Hollywood legend Sharon Stone.
The Slumdog Millionaire star caught the eye of the Basic Instinct actress at the Bafta Awards in London, according to The Daily Mirror.
Dev, 18, said: "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?"
Sharon, 50, is reported to have first complimented Dev on his role in Slumdog, which scooped a total of seven Baftas, during a pre-Bafta party on Bond Street at the weekend.
She said to Dev: "I thought you were amazing in Slumdog Millionaire."
An onlooker told the Mirror: "Dev is young enough to be her son - even her grandson - but that didn't seem to stop Sharon flirting with him.
"As soon as she broke away, he grabbed his mobile and said: 'The lads are never going to believe this - I've got to text them about Sharon Stone.' Mickey Rourke looked a bit put out that this kid was getting all the action."
