Dev Patel: Biography
A Briton of Indian origin, Dev Patel, in his years, achieved what his peers could only dream of. The young actor was nominated for the most prestigious awards of the world film industry: Oscar, BAFTA, Golden Globe, Saturn. In the piggy bank Deva – works in the paintings of world famous director Danny Boyle and his talented colleague Garth Davis.

Parents of the Slumdog Millionaire star are immigrants from India who grew up in Kenyan Nairobi. As teenagers, they moved to Britain, where they met and got married. Son Dev Patel was born April 23, 1990 in the north-west district of London – Harrow. Father Virgo – Raj Patel – a programmer and IT consultant. Anita, the mother of the actor, worked as a nurse. Parents raised their son and eldest daughter Komal in Hindu traditions, but young Patel was not closely associated with his historic homeland.

At the age of 10, the boy visited India for the first time, at a wedding with a relative. During the week of their stay on the shores of the sacred Ganges, the heat and the ubiquitous mosquitoes tortured the Virgin so much that he promised never to return. Childhood and youthful years of the Virgin of Patel were held in the Harrow suburb – Rainers Lane. The future artist studied at Longfield Middle School. Interest in the theater woke up in high school: Dev walked out on the stage of the school theater in the form of Sir Andrew from Shakespeare’s “The Twelfth Night”. According to him, then for the first time he thought about the career of an actor.

Dev Patel was strengthened in his desire to become a moderator when he moved to Whitmore High School. Teachers involved a young artist in amateur productions and marveled at his acting skills. When Patel’s name thundered after the hit of the Slumdog Millionaire hit, the school drama teacher Niamh Wright confessed that the teenager struck with his innate talent at the school to transfer a wide range of character characters.

But Dev Patel gladly went on the theater stage and on the tatami. Mom took her 10-year-old son to the taekwondo section, wanting to send the boy’s explosive energy to a safe channel. Soon, Patel was so fascinated by the martial arts that after three years he participated in national taekwondo competitions. In Dublin, at the International Martial Arts Championship, the athlete was awarded a bronze medal in the younger age group. At that time, the Virgin had a red belt.

In the spring of 2006, a 16-year-old Patel had a black belt, and Dev was not going to stop there. But mother Anita believed that martial arts, although they took away her extra energy from her son, were far from all. Therefore, the persistent woman, seeing the announcement of the casting in the youth series, took the resisting Virgo to the studio. The woman remembered the recommendation of the jury, which rewarded the boy with the “Best Actor” award for his role in Shakespeare’s play: then authoritative teachers strongly advised the guy to think about his acting career.

17-year-old Hindu passed the test and was approved for the role. Thus began the cinematic biography of the Virgin of Patel.

Films
In 2007, the youth screen-set “Molocosos” was released. The dramatic television series, which premiered on the British E4 channel in January, described the lives of Bristol teenagers. Virgo got the role of Anwar Kharral, a guy with a problem character and a strange sense of humor. Anwar, despite his commitment to Islam, is not averse to drinking. He uses drugs and shocks others with stupid tricks and explosive energy.

Hannah Murray and Mike Bailey, starring with Dev, told reporters that the characters of Kharral and Patel are somewhat similar, so the hero turned out to be so “real.” Dev Patel starred in two seasons of a popular project. The shooting took place in Bristol. In 2008, the ribbon was nominated for BAFTA. The series became the winner of The Rose d’Or.

The role of the troubled teenager opened the door to the talented Indian in the film industry. Cult director Danny Boyle, who became famous after the release of the crime comedy On the Needle, embarked on a new project – the adaptation of the novel of the Indian writer Vikas Swarup, “Question – Answer”, translated into 40 languages. It remained to find an actor for the role of the Indian lad Jamal Malik, who grew up in Bombay slums. But hundreds of teenagers who came to the casting were “screened out”, and the director did not find the necessary “nature”.

Boyle was helped by her 17-year-old daughter, Caitlin, who recalled the Virgin of Patel from her favorite “Milkworms” sitcom. The director gave the actor a strict exam: after five auditions, Patel was approved.

To better get used to the image of Malik, Dev Patel visited India, in the Mumbai slums of Dharavi: a huge dump, spread over 215 hectares and sheltered a million poor Indians. Here Danny Boyle filmed scenes of the crime melodrama “Slumdog Millionaire.”

According to the Virgin of Patel, on his second visit to his historic homeland, he recognized and fell in love with India. The picture of the Mumbai orphan Jamal Malik brought the actor incredible success, turning him into a world-class star. The premiere of the drama took place in August 2008 in Toronto and was showered with prestigious awards, as if from a cornucopia: 8 Oscars, 7 BAFTA and 4 Golden Globes. And these are only the biggest awards.

From this point on, Dev Patel regularly receives offers from directors and does not know what is easy to shoot. In 2010, there were two projects with the participation of a young Indian-British star. The artist appeared in the short film “Passenger” and adventure fantasy “Master of the Elements.” But luck, it seems, turned away from the Virgin: for the work in the movie “Lord of the Elements” he was awarded the anti-award “Golden Raspberry”. Critics and viewers very coolly appreciated both fantasy and the game of Patel, who appeared in the form of Prince Zuko.

Dev Patel managed to rehabilitate himself in 2012, playing the hotel manager Sonny Kapoor in John Madden’s comedy tape “Hotel Marigold. The best of the exotic. The world premiere of the tragicomedy about older people who settled in a luxury hotel, was held in Sorrento. In Glasgow, the picture won the grand prize. For the role of Sonny Dev, he learned to speak with an Indian accent.

In the same year, Aaron Sorkin’s dramatic series “News” and the drama “Cherry” appeared on the screens, where viewers saw Patel in the lead role – Andrew. Cherry was shown at the international festival in Berlin.

In 2014, the Briton pleased his fans with his work in the dramatic comedy “Touched”, where Zoya Kravitz and Robert Sheehan appeared in the company. In Russia, the film was seen in March 2016. This is a “black” comedy about an eccentric trinity – Vincent, Marie and Alex, from whose crazy antics their parents were so tired that they put the children in a clinic for the insane. But the trio escaped from there and set off on a journey. Dev Patel played Alex.

2015 was marked for the actor with the release of three notable projects. A sequel to the comedy “Hotel Marigold. The settlement continues, “where the audience saw the Virgin again in the form of Sonny Kapoor. Despite the star cast (Hugh Jackman and Sigourney Weaver), the thriller “Robot named Chappi” was a lesser success. But the biographical drama “The Man Who Cognized Infinity” about Indian self-taught mathematics received positive reviews from film critics. Dev Patel played mathematics. Together with him in the film appeared Jeremy Irons and Stephen Fry.

Personal life
On the set of the star painting “Slumdog Millionaire” Dev met the eldest of 6 years old colleague Frida Pinto. Frida is an American and Indian actress who, like Patel, became famous after the release of the criminal melodrama of Danny Boyle.

The Indian beauty was so carried away by her young colleague that for the sake of him she threw the groom Rohan Antao, with whom she was engaged. Tall Patel (1.87 meters tall) and frail Pinto looked great together. Their joint photos adorned the covers of tabloids, adorned on Freda’s page on Instagram. In 2009, Anita Patel confirmed the rumors leaked to the press about her son’s romance, but it never came to a wedding. In 2014, after a 6-year romance, Dev and Frida broke up.

Dev Patel now
In 2016, Garth Davis’s drama “The Lion” came out on screens, where Patel got the main role. Together with him in the project appeared Nicole Kidman and Rooney Mara. In the US, the picture was shown in November 2016, and in Australia – in early 2017.

The drama “Lion” was warmly received by the audience and received a high (87%) rating on the specialized website Rotten Tomatoes. Film critics celebrated the film with six Oscar nominations.
