Dev insists on seeing Freida as the Bond Girl

Freida Pinto’s lover Dev Patel insists that he would love to see Freida to be a part of the super-spy series though she has dismissed reports of playing the next Bond Girl.

“She is stunning. There have been rumours about her being a Bond girl on the next film. I would love her to get the role, she’d be amazing,” Patel was quoted as saying.

Pinto had earlier admitted that she’s too “young” to be a part of ‘Bond 23′, which will be helmed by filmmaker Sam Mendes.

But would Patel ever like to step into the shoes of the British agent and play the 25-year-old beauty’s on-screen lover once again?

“I’m not sure I could ever play 007 though. I’m too much of a wimp,” said Patel, who had starred alongside Pinto in Slumdog Millionaire.
