Slumdog Millionaire meets Tyra Banks
Slumdog Millionaire stars Dev Patel and Freida Pinto stop by The Tyra Banks Show.
Dev, 18, admits was so in awe of Leonardo DiCaprio that he shook his hand twice: I went up to him, said‘Hello Leo’ and shook his hand. I was so content with that, I went back again and shook it again.”
Freida, 24, reveals she is a huge America’s Next Top Model fan and has an autographed photograph of Tyra hanging in her bedroom at home in India. She shared, “I was a big, big, big Tyra Banks admirer. So I had written an email to you [Tyra], to your website telling you how much I loved what you were doing and I would love to come out here and just get trained by you and then two weeks later I got a signed photograph of Tyra Banks! It was like the little kid who jumps in the cesspool [in Slumdog] and gets what he wants!”
Dev also reveals someone tried to sell him a bootleg copy of Slumdog: “Someone tried to sell me a pirate copy of my film when I was having my haircut. I was having a haircut and this little lady came in, Slumdog?…I was like, ‘No, I’ve seen it.’”
