And by whom, any guesses? None other than the 'Basic instinct' beauty Sharon Stone. The hero of Danny Boyle's 'Slumdog Millionaire' Dev Patel has become a household name with the universal appeal the film has created.

Though Mumbai forms the back drop of the story, 'Slumdog' has been going places and receiving awards left, right and center, right from the coveted Golden Globes to the BAFTA, continuing its victory march to Los Angeles for the Oscar night.

The lean and lanky Dev has impressed Sharon Stone who feels that the hero looks 'adorable'. The actress, who was present during the Golden Globes night, was found congratulating the young hero for his success in the film. She has also revealed that she is a fan of this young star.

For his part Dev Patel looks almost stumped! He just is stupefied at the comments from Sharon on his role in the 'Slumdog Millionaire'.

Well Dev, this is just the beginning and to quote Frost you "got miles to go"!
