  On meeting Slumdog Millionaire co-star Dev Patel:

  "I knew he had done a successful TV show in London. I thought he would be a hoity-toity boy, but he was so down to earth. He was the only British boy in the film, and he was nervous. It humbled him. Getting along with him was the easiest thing to do. We hung out a lot, and I showed him around. It helped when we did some of the more intense scenes."USA Today: Patel, Pinto Hit the Slumdog Millionaire Jackpot (November 9, 2008)
