Dev Patel: It was struggle after Slumdog as a performer until Lion came my way
He became a star with his debut film Slumdog Millionaire but British-Indian actor Dev Patel went through a period of struggle where he felt pigeon-holed as a performer until Lion came his way.
He became a star with his debut film Slumdog Millionaire but British-Indian actor Dev Patel went through a period of struggle where he felt pigeon-holed as a performer until Lion came his way.
Directed by Garth Davis, the movie, based on a true story, is tipped to get nominated at the Oscars in January, and is up for contention at Monday’s Golden Globes.
Patel says he knew he had a great role the moment he read the script and jumped at the chance to play Saroo Brierley.
“The film has opened people to my potential. After Slumdog Millionaire, it was really hard for me to get quality work. You think it would be easy but it is actually quite a struggle. I felt pigeon-holed. But I kept working hard and have been patient for many years now. So, when a role like this came, I gave everything that I had to do justice to it. It feels really good when it is recognised,” Patel told PTI in an interview over phone from Los Angeles.
The actor is in LA to attend the Golden Globe Awards where he is nominated in the best supporting actor category. Nicole Kidman, who plays his Australian adoptive mother, is also nominated.
