Sharon Stone thinks she looks better now than when she was younger as men in their 20s often ask her out.

The 54-year-old actress - who is currently dating 27-year-old model Martin Mica - believes people should get used to older women dating younger men like she is because they are finding themselves in a new "position in society".

She told Britain's OK! magazine: "Do I look great or am I in denial because I'm just pretending that it isn't what it is - I'm getting older?

"But I think because of bunch of 25 year olds are asking me on dates, I do look better.

"I mean, women are the major breadwinners now, more than 50 per cent. Women are talking over this new position in society and they're becoming magnetic. That's just what's going to happen."

However, she does admit the US has a "downtrodden" image of women as they get older.

She said: "Outside of America, people don't have that downtrodden concept of body image that's like, unless you're spray painted and 15, you can't wear a bathing suit."
