After receiving immense praise for his role in Golden Globe winner Slumdog Millionaire, Dev Patel has expressed his desire to work with his ideal star - Will Smith.
Patel confessed that he's a huge fan of the Hancock actor - and once waited at a premiere for three hours just to get a photo with the actor.
And now he has used interviews following the success of Slumdog to urge Smith to get in touch.
"Hello, Mr. Smith... Please let me do a film with you. I stumbled upon your premiere of Hancock in London and I waited three hours. I was dying to go to the toilet and I've got a picture of you on my phone," Contactmusic quoted Patel, as telling on American show Extra.
"It'd be great. Just a small role. Shake your hand or something... Thank you," he added.
On the other hand, Slumdog's lead actress Freida Pinto has uttered her intention of working with Leonardo DiCaprio
"I've fantasized about him. I had a crush on him. Ever since Titanic... This is really embarrassing (but) I had a scrapbook with everything Leonardo in it... He's a really nice person. The crush is gone but the admiration is still there," Frieda said.
