Break-out Slumdog Millionaire star Freida Pinto says boyfriend Dev Patel’s eyes lit up when they met. The actors, who met on the set of Danny Boyle’s Oscar-winning film, were instantly drawn to each other during casting.
Freida revealed all to OK! saying: “He was 17 when I first met him. I walked into a room and this jet-lagged boy was sitting on a couch waiting for the girls to come in one by one. He just had this little boy-ish thing about him… his eyes just lit up.”
The couple, who are rarely pictured together, have struggled to keep their rumoured relationship under wraps after their co-star confirmed the rumours earlier this year.
Dev Patel’s mother also confirmed the news after the couple were finally photographed kissing last month.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lucy Punch is the next Nicole Kidman. In the new Woody Allen film, that is. The British actress wowed the writer-director with a screen test and secured the role in Allen’s newest film that Kidman had taken in March and vacated weeks later. The still untitled film currently stars Naomi Watts and Freida Pinto.
The relative unknown, who starred on the CBS series The Class and had roles in Hot Fuzz and Ella Enchanted, joins Antonio Banderas, Freida Pinto, Naomi Watts, Josh Brolin and Anthony Hopkins in the untitled project.
Letty Aronson, Steve Tenenbaum and Jaume Roures are producing, with financing from Spain-based Mediapro, which also funded Allen’s Vicky Cristina Barcelona. The film will shoot in London in the summer.

The latest news coming in for “Bond 23″ suggested that the latest installment of the superspy series is stepping closer into production with the hiring of its writers. For this new Bond movie, producers have brought in the Academy Award-nominated screenwriter Peter Morgan to pen the screenplay.
46-year-old Morgan, who is known for his work in “The Queen”, “Frost/Nixon” and “The Last King of Scotland”, won’t be working on the script alone though. He will be joined by Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, who have co-written the past four Bond features that include “Casino Royale” and “Quantum of Solace”.
Ever since “Quantum of Solace” came out in theaters in November 2008, speculations have been mounting on the development of “Bond 23″. Several actresses, such as Jennifer Aniston, Angelina Jolie as well as “Slumdog Millionaire” beauty Freida Pinto, have been rumored to be potential Bond girl. “Slumdog” director Danny Boyle was also caught in its helmer rumor.
So far, little is known about “Bond 23″, but two-time James Bonddepicter Daniel Craig is expected to reprise his role for the third time. Meanwhile, the start of production on “Bond 23″ has not yet been scheduled.

It’s been the worst-kept secret in Hollywood, but Freida Pinto has finally admitted her love for her Slumdog Millionaire co-star Dev Patel.
Rumours of a romance surfaced around the time of the Oscars, but it wasn’t until the pair were spotted smooching in Israel that the gossip was comfirmed.
Now Frieda herself has opened up about their burgeoning relationship, describing 19-year-old Dev as ‘a lovely boy’.
She added: ‘The friendship blossomed after the film, it got even stronger. This is all new to us.’
An onlooker who saw the couple cosying up at a café in Israel in April said: ‘They looked very happy together and they didn’t seem to care who saw them.
‘Dev couldn’t take his eyes off her – and she kept snuggling up to get closer to him.’

Freida Pinto doesn’t believe in fashion trends.The ‘Slumdog Millionaire‘ actress refuses to wear clothes just because they are popular, instead opting for items she is ‘comfortable’ in even if they are not the height of fashion.
She explained: ‘I don’t think there is such a thing as trends. I think anything that’s comfortable and doesn’t make me look hideous is good.’Despite refusing to bow to pressure when it comes to her wardrobe, the 24-year-old star admits there is one aspect of her style she must get to grips with.
Freida explained: ‘I need to sort my shoe wardrobe out. I have too many high heels – I end up getting backache from them. I need to get some lower heels and I need to get more colours in there too.’I planned to use my first big pay cheque to buy a pair of Jimmy Choos – but recently I’ve been send things I said I always wanted, and they gave me a pair before I had the chance to buy them!’
Although Freida refuses to bow to Hollywood pressure on how she should look, she admits watching her weight before she has to walk the red carpet.She told Britain’s InStyle magazine: ‘I used to be overly critical of myself, but I don’t do that anymore.
Before an event though, I stay off oil for at least five days. But sometimes it’s impossible to get home-cooked food when you’re travelling, which is the only problem. I don’t go to the gym, but I’m going to start.’
