She is so gorgeous. I can't wait to see Slumdog Millionaire when it goes into wide release.

 

[Gincat]

Stunning! I still haven't seen Slumdog, either, but I'm definitely going to this weekend. He's cutie too, in that gawky, gangly, teenage way.

 

[stateofbliss]

I highly recommend that you watch it! I loved this movie. Def. one of my favorites. Dev Patel is a cutie as well. I liked him on Skins, but I loved him in Slumdog.

How neat me and Freida share the same birthday October 18th.



The question asked throughout the film Slumdog Millionaire, which took a top prize at the 2008 Toronto Film Festival, is one of fate: Is it written? For the film's actress, Freida Pinto, the question is more: "How can it not be?" The leap from unknown model in her native India (with a side gig as a clown at children's parties) to her first acting job under the direction of Danny Boyle has, at least for now, affirmed her fate as an actress. "I don't say things like ‘this is my destiny,' but you have that deep feeling that it was meant to be," says Pinto, 24.

One such affirming moment came when she was stepping into her first scene, full of doubt. "Then I just told myself to go out there with all guns blazing," she recalls.

The actress credits Boyle's magic touch as a director for helping to build her confidence. "He has a panache for the extraordinary and does a brilliant job of putting you in the moment. So much so that at the end of the day you don't know if you're still floating, still filming or what's reality," Pinto says.

All poise and manners, the young actress looks out the window on a rainy midtown Manhattan afternoon: "I've only been here one day and I already love it. It's Bombay but more organized. I would move to Manhattan in a minute!"
