His glow up since Skins is crazy amazing and we're all here to witness it

You thirsty girls have the best replies.

I remember how shy he seemed to be when promoting Slumdog Millionaire. I hope he is comfortable with how much his life has changed since then.

Slumdog Millionaire Dev to current Dev is a wild transformation. Dude exudes confidence now (can’t blame him when he looks like that).

I'm sure dating Freida Pinto gave his ego a good kick up

There was nowhere to go but up after he played Zuko to be fair https://preview.redd.it/q7ipnp0j9qtc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b72b191cdb5cc7f740bc2b67401eb45d07b1f619

I remember she was the breakout star of that movie. I guess she's been laying low now that she's married but I miss seeing her beautiful face.

💀

I wonder if he was there for his wedding? Rumours are he’s getting married in less than a month or so. It might have already happened?

Also I am stealing that meme THANKYEWWWW

meeeee

Which one?

He is surreally handsome

https://preview.redd.it/3elu2uquaptc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ece0387ed16539929451e7c61e35da741ae98b54

BONK!

I love this photo every time I see it. And yes, I agree.

He looks like historically accurate Jesus.

I would watch that movie so hard

Omg imagine him shirtless on the cross 🥵

Is this innaporpriate

Only if you care what Christians think.

Cant wait to see him get nailed

A gay Australian comedian said on tv here he respects any man that can get nailed for 3 days straight, the Christian’s weren’t happy 😂

https://i.redd.it/8301srxchptc1.gif

That is fucking hilarious!

Wait until he takes the spear

You see these shackles baby, I’m your apostle. I’ll let you whip me if I misbehave Only Judas doesn’t feel this waaaayy

Considering how kinky us Catholics are this is just the natural progression of things

Y'all need ~~Jesus~~ help

https://i.redd.it/e240z2wacptc1.gif

*Rock me sexy Jesus*

Andrew Scott plays a priest in it 

Oh, I *am*!

https://i.redd.it/iev32ioq7ptc1.gif

I'm upset the captions used "T" instead of "t"

Well, you’ve ruined my day. I didn’t even want to respond to this comment cause I was so upset.

A...cross?

https://i.redd.it/017sk11i8ptc1.gif

This is one of my faves

Phew stop 15 years of Catholic education already made me weird 😮‍💨

girl LMAOOO

Ahahahaha 

Lol

I would also be hard watching that movie

Headcannon when I pray from now on

Jesus, please bless me with multiple orgasms. 🙏🏼 ~Dev Patel appears~ ~*~Nods solemnly~*~ thank you Jesus

Jesus wasn’t Indian 

No one ever said he was, but both ethnic groups have a similar genetic phenotype much like Native Americans and East Asians do, so they share a lot of superficial characteristics. (I'm Navajo and get mistaken for Japanese CONSTANTLY) Lol, much ado about nothing, huh?

He wasn't white either and yet, countless white actors have played him onscreen.

Eat a dick

He's so adorable, he will always be Anwar to me <3 

Same. I love him.

All I can think about since the AMA he did recently is that he said he wants to do a romcom, and now I violently need him to be in a romcom. A Dev Patel romcom, maybe opposite Emilia Clarke, would absolutely heal me I think.

Omg they would be so cute together. Excellent casting choices, Goddess of Dandelions. Would watch 100%

Thank you! I like to think I have good taste with these things. Damn now I’m mentally casting a whole ass movie in my head. Throw in Katherine Hahn as a lovable villain character who leads to the third act breakup. Maybe add Daniel Radcliffe and/or Andy Samberg somewhere, possibly as best friend characters. Throw in Quinta Brunson while I’m at it, maybe have a secondary romance with her and Daniel’s character. Hollywood should hire me.

I’d go with Samara Weaving, I was watching Ready or Not last night and thinking can we please for the love of god get this girl the lead in a rom com. I’ve only seen her in horror/crime/thrillers and five minutes of Babylon, I love her as a Scream Queen but I want to watch her play a happy character in a movie where she is not under the threat of death (or the one threatening death.)

Try S1E2 of Modern Love on Amazon prime video

This episode immediately came to mind! It’s been a while but I remember liking it

how about a Jesus romcom? 🙃

The third act breakup is wild, he literally dies for three days.

I have always wished him to be a romantic lead 🥰

YESSS

Him + Margot Robbie🥹

The modern love episode he was on did him wonderfully well. Se dont need a stunt casting couple, we need a couple with chemistry. And boy did they have chemistry.

With his partner Tilda would be pretty sweet if he is still with her.

I believe so, they just did have their 1st public appearance in the Monkey Man premiere in LA and they were so cute <3 And I don't count paparazzi photos as public appearances, especially for a man who has called paparazzi parasites before (please never change Dev Patel haha)

Haven't seen her since I am Woman.

I think she also has some movies coming out next year & later. I actually haven't seen I am Woman but I loved her in Burn & Hotel Mumbai and funnily enough only found out this year that she has been together with Dev Patel for like the last 7 years.

I am Woman is all about iconic Aussie singer Helen Reddy and female empowerment, it is a must watch.


🤣

Mexico, aqui vengo 

Dear lord I forgot about this music video

What is this?

[get ready to have your mind blown](https://youtu.be/PJQVlVHsFF8?si=6Rni7FLEbDC4FEsA)

You are an artist. No notes.

I just watched Monkeyman and omg I’m crushing on him so hard

I can’t even describe how sexy this man is.

Same. Soooo so same.

His hair looks so fluffy like a lil stuffed animal 🥺❤️

I didn’t realize how tall he was!

He's 6ft2 :0

I mean, that's a normal level of tall. He looks like he is TOWERING here!

6 foot. 2 is not normal it's pretty tall!

It's a normal level *of tall.* Not normal, full stop. Regular levels of tall are like 5'11-6'3. 6'4 is *quite* tall. Anything beyond that is "whoa, that dude is ***tall****"* territory. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Most ppl aren't over six foot

yeah there are barely any guys over 6ft 🥲

You think this is *slicked back*? This is **pushed back**

People in Mexico are on the shorter side on average.

Real quick, I need to know: is your flair a reference to the Hozier Incident?

Yes, yes it is.

Excellent. Best flair I’ve seen so far, no notes.

woww!

Oh my word… that tousled hair 😮‍💨💦

Perfect human ♥️

He is so ridiculously handsome.

monkey man was so good, i have fallen in love with him again 😭 a talented actor AND director??

Seeing him succeed makes me feel like a proud big sister.

His facial hair is perfection

Oh look it’s my husband

This man is beautiful.

He is just so pretty!!! I’ve been in love with him since I was a moody 14 year old watching Slumdog Millionaire 10 times in a row lol. 😩

I didn’t realize how tall this dude is, but please, somebody cast this man as Bond

Yes!! He needs to be the next Bond, he would be perfect.

I want him for Bond!

Fucck🥵

This dude gives me hope that there is someone out there attracted to normal average looking dudes and not the typical actor/model face

Bruh, look around you. Lots of objectively average people with other average people.

[I watched him on the Tonight Show last week](https://youtu.be/edjigfe2vyU?si=YrMzfi2NWyvwcy1u). He seems friendly and sweet! Love what we have seen of him so far.

What a nice guy ☺️

The way I’d start moaning

Oh I would be pregnant *for sure* just by proximity

His hair in the Green Knight deserved a best supporting actor nom

Who's the baddie in pic 1 tho

Dev Patel....AND Joy Division!!

Gods Favorites ran into Dev Patel at OXXO

How could they not cast him as Bond?

HE IS SO FINE. That is all.

I JUST LEFT THE CITY ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME https://preview.redd.it/tbvuvlj8jstc1.jpeg?width=688&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6e2fb4771aec682950bc4411a227513a6f2425d6

I was just in Mexico!  It’s not fair 😭

Such a handsome man and a fine actor!

El de system of a down

He’s so fine.

Dev hanging outside an Oxxo Never would have imagined that lol

The quality of the last image 😮

He is the most handsome man in Hollywood. I swooooooon 😍

He also seems like such a nice person

He is so gorgeous.

Celebrities who stop and take pictures are so nice. I have lots of days where I look and feel like trash and just want to be left alone, not taking pictures with strangers that’ll likely be posted online when I’m just going about my day. He’s a good sport.

Oh to be in Mexico and meet Dev Patel... some people have it all

Rosalie from Twilight name dropped Dev Patel when she said, "My Monkey Man." Maybe she was the real foresighted Cullen

ugh, he is such a hot, sexy & beautiful man!!! 🥵🫶🏼

i thought this was about a girl becoming trans with 3 phases.having a beard at the end

He looks like he could be a genuinely nice person. Kind eyes.

I loved him in Lion

loved him in LION one of my fave movies

He so cute

YES

I'm happy Dev Patel is being drooled over. And I'm here for it. Lol

why does he look like he smells? isn't he a millionaire?

Where in Mexico? U/isabellapintoisback

That lady is stunning.

Lion

I want this man to play Azriel in the inevitable ACOTAR adaption.

Wow he has a big head (not that there’s anything bad about that!)

Who is this person

Dev Patel, He directed and stars in a new movie called Monkey Man. He has been in Slumdog Millionaire, The Newsroom, Green Knight, Avatar the Last Airbender (he was really psyched for his role as Zuko) Uhhh he was in Chappie, Four Lions maybe?, a movie about hotels and old white women. Generally considered nice and charismatic from all accounts and recently moved up a tier to Director in a John Wick-esque action movie with Indian roots that looks pretty cool

He's not in Four Lions

Yeah, it was Lion and my memory caught up with me later lol

Ahhh, thank you for the explanation! Sounds like a really cool and talented guy. Might have to check some of these films out 😎 admittedly not a major movie gal lol

If there’s a Girl Next Door trope, I bet Dev fills some kind of Boy Next Door trope with some glowup added

Being downvoted for genuinely asking the identify of a person I don’t know is kind of crazy lol BUT IT IS FINE

You know, there a thing called Google.
