Slumdog star wants to go on real Millionaire
26/02/2009 - 12:28
Dev Patel is hoping to go on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? to raise money for homeless children.
The former Skins star - who found fame in Oscar-winning movie Slumdog Millionaire, about a Mumbai orphan who goes on India's version of the quiz show - is in talks to appear on the programme, reports The Sun.
Dev, 18, would compete to raise cash for the charity Railway Children, which helps youngsters living on the streets.
And it seems Slumdog filmmaker Danny Boyle, who scooped best director at the Academy Awards at the weekend, and Dev's co-star Freida Pinto could take part too.
A source said: "Danny and Dev are keen to keep on giving back to the street kids, and have been talking to Railway Children about appearing on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?"
The insider said bosses are hoping 'it will happen later this year'.
