Sharon Stone stole the show at the Cannes Film Festival and now she’s apparently stolen the heart of a younger man. The “Basic Instinct” star, 55, is dating Hamptons hotelier Michael Wudyka, 46, Page Six can exclusively reveal. Stone and Wudyka — owner of the 31,000- square-foot East Hampton Studio and Enclave Inn in Bridgehampton — were first spotted together in late April at a Creative Coalition event in Washington, DC. But while they struck up a romance, sources say Wudyka didn’t accompany Stone to Cannes, where she turned heads with a series of stunning outfits, because, well, “He had to work.” “They are really good for each other,” said a source, calling Wudyka “down-to-earth.” In other words, it seems to be a case of opposites attract. In a Hamptons magazine interview last year, Wudyka said of his favorite East End parties, “Coming from inner-city Detroit, any party in the Hamptons is a step up.” The single father of two added he’d arrived on Long Island from the Motor City in 1999, and, “I’m a beach guy. Put me in a chair with waves hitting my feet and I’m good.” Stone, meanwhile, prefers Jimmy Choos on her feet. For a “Behind the Candelabra” premiere in Cannes, she turned up in an electric-blue Roberto Cavalli gown and flouted showbiz etiquette by strutting the red carpet after the film’s stars, stealing all the attention. The next night at a de Grisogono party, she showed off even more skin in a head-turning, fire-engine red number. Reps for Stone and Wudyka declined to comment.
