Ask Adnan: Dev Patel of Slumdog Millionaire
Wednesday, February 25th, 2009
I know you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but I can’t help but be enchanted by the cast of Slumdog Millionaire. Did anyone notice Freida Pinto and Dev Patel whenever the movie won an award at Sunday’s Oscars? They just seemed so excited and thrilled to be at something like the Oscars. I feel like you just don’t see that anymore…it was humbling. Here’s some info on the male lead of Slumdog Millionaire, Dev Patel. I’ll update this post when I have more.
Dev Patel was born on April 23, 1990 and is 18 years old.
He was born in London, England.
He is 6′1” tall.
Dev Patel has just signed on to appear as one of the leads in the movie The Last Airbender. It will be directed by M. Night Shyamalan and will be released in 2010. It’s an adventure-family flick, whatever that means.
Dev Patel Quotes:
On Slumdog craziness: All this attention is crazy, I can’t get my head around it all. But I can’t complain. This film has changed my life. The Oscars were unbelievable, I’ve never seen anything like it.
On being made fun in high school for having big ears: I’m proud to have big ears now. I mean, look who’s the most powerful man in the world: Barack Obama. Big ears are in fashion.
I’m obsessed with these kids. Stay humble.
