Model-turned-actress Freida Pinto
will follow her movie debut in
Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire
with a role in legendary filmmaker
Woody Allen‘s next picture,
WENN reports Feb. 24th.
The 24-year-old was stunned when the Danny Boyle-directed film took home eight honours –
including Best Picture and Best Director – at the Academy Awards ceremony on Sunday.
And the young star has credited Boyle with helping her to catch the eye of three-time Oscar winner Allen, who’s made huge stars out of young Hollywood actresses, including Scarlett Johansson.
Asked of the collaboration on
morning news program Today,
she says:
“Yes, it’s up (begins) in July.
So thank you, Danny Boyle,
for helping me take off.”
