Dev Patel’s Beginnings
One of this year’s awards’ seasons most sought after people is British actor, Dev Patel, who is capturing a lot of attention…thanks to his critically acclaimed movie, Slumdog Millionaire.
The actor recently gave credit to his mother for pushing him to land his first acting job, a role on the British teen drama, Skins, which is like the equivalent of Gossip Girl in terms of controversies.
According to the actor, he first didn’t want to be in the production knowing the story lines involved a lot of sex, nudity and drugs but his mother pushed him to do the show, even if he had to appear naked.
His mum says —-
“He was apprehensive when he found out he’d have to appear naked. He said, ‘Oh God I am going to have to show my bum!’ I told him: ‘It’s only a bum; you’ve seen lots of people’s bums before.’ Now Dev thanks me for making him go to the audition.”
