Freida Pinto, Actor, India
Rumor has it that Mumbai's leading lady (when it comes to the West) is shortlisted to be the next bond girl. The 007 producers are presently deciding if they'd like to have Freida share screen space with bond...uh James Bond..make that Craig..Daniel Craig!
Have you wondered where the lass took off to since Slumdog Millionaire, the film credited to her worldwide fame.Well, she has been busy. Working on films, not Bollywood, but Hollywood. "She currently has some heavyweight projects like Miral by Julian Schnabel, Dawn of War by Tarsem Singh Dhandwar and You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger by Woody Allen. There are many international offers at her doorstep and all she is doing is pick and choose. But we hear that she is one of the favourites to be cast in the next James Bond movie", a source revealed.
Frieda has also become a highly sought after actress. By whom you'd ask? Let's see, she has appeared on shows like Entertainment Tonight, The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Tyra Banks Show, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Larry King Live, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Ellen: The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Late Show with David Letterman, and Up Close with Carrie Keagan. Hence, it isn't hard to imagine why directors are keen to cast her in their upcoming films.
