It’s a good thing Slumdog Millionaire star Dev Patel has such a good head on his shoulders, or else I would really worry about the 18-year-old cutie. First, at the BAFTAs, Sharon Stone tried to get her crazy hands on him. Then came the rumor that he and his gorgeous costar Freida Pinto are maybe dating. And now this – Dev was photographed enjoying a moment with Sienna Miller. It’s like the worst career/love/life omen ever.
Sienna was recently spotted kissing on-again/off-again married boyfriend Balthazar Getty, so is there any chance she’s putting the moves on a young actor whose career trajectory is on the upward slope? It’s Sienna, so there’s always a chance. Hello! Magazine has more:
Wunderkind Dev Patel can’t seem to go anywhere these days without attracting the attention of gorgeous women.
[He] is currently the toast of the film scene because of the success of Slumdog Millionaire, chatted with Sienna Miller at a pre-Oscars do amid talk that he is an item with his leading lady in the film.
Shortly after being stopped on the BAFTA red carpet by Sharon Stone he was enjoying a cosy chat with Sienna Miller at a pre-Oscars bash.
And as he mingled at the party where guests included Stephen Fry, Gordon Ramsey and Elton John, word out in Hollywood was that he and screen love interest Freida Pinto are dating in real life.
Actor Anil Kapoor – the game show host who quizzes Dev’s character in the film – claimed that the two had grown close.
Speaking on US radio the Bollywood star said: “I think this is the beginning of something exciting.”
“They definitely make a great pair and look very good together… When I meet them I feel there is something happening,” he added.
The 18-year-old British actor has, however, been playing down suggestions of a romance with Freida, 24, saying simply: “We are mates”.

I’d buy Dev and the possibly secretly married Freida before I’d buy Dev and Sienna. I’m trying to think of someone really cute and age-appropriate for Dev, but I’m drawing a blank. Is that because all of the young American celebrities seem really bratty and unworthy of Dev? Yes and yes. Who’s his age? Miley Cyrus? Taylor Swift? No and no. He might be good with Evan Rachel Wood, but she digs older (really older) men. Stick with Freida, Dev – don’t go for Sienna.
Here’s Dev Patel from ” trying to hide in Hollywood” (according to Splash) yesterday. Images thanks to Splash.
How adorable is Dev???? He’s such an amazing actor and cute as heck.
I love that he’s not cute by “conventional” standards.
And I think that makes him cuter. LOL.
Either way, he’d be wise not to date Taylor Swift, not because she’s not adorable/smart. But because if it ends bad, she’s gonna go all Alanis Morisette on you.
Evan Rachel Wood? Hell no!
What is so “cute” about the skinny legs and bird chest?
Emma Watson! Right age and she seems to be very grounded.
I have no idea voodoo!!
He’s just cute!
Fair enough whatever floats your boat. I dont see it myself.
I ADORE Dev. I saw him on The Daily Show and he won me over with his earnest and humble attitude. You see all of these new actors who have a moment to hit it big and they insist they’re all humble and “blah blah blah.” You hope it’s true but sometimes you can’t tell.
Dev was showing genuine excitement for being on the Daily Show. It was erupting through my screen. I was literally going, “awwww.”
“New car smell” indeed. 😛 I wish him nothing but the best, and I REALLY hope he stays as sweet and genuine as he was on the Daily Show.
i LOVE Dev!!! 🙂 i hope hes dating frieda! 🙂
Looking at the pics, the first thing that popped into my head was ‘adorable’. Who cares about the skinny legs…becca you got it right…he’s sweet, genuine and earnest. When my boy was little, his earnest face always melted my heart the fastest.
It is impossible to have seen ‘Slumdog Millionaire” and not be totally in love with this guy. And he really is adorable in interviews, you can tell he’s having the time of his life.
Does anyone else think that Slumdog Millionaire and its cast are starting to get very annoying because of this over hyped movie.
Nope. I will say that I enjoyed Benjamin Button much more – the mood lingered for hours after the movie ended. Slumdog was very good, but as soon as I walked out of the theater, it was over.
I think Freida’s his best choice. But if they are not dating (*tear*) then Emma Watson like you said, or not gonna lie, Sienna Miller and him look good together.
