Frieda Pinto Set For Bond Role?
Posted by Richard Head
Frieda Pinto is reportedly set to star in the next James Bond film.
The Indian actress – who shot to fame in the Oscar-winning Danny Boyle film Slumdog Millionaire – has been asked to screen test for a role in the forthcoming 007 after being spotted by Bond bosses during the casting for 2008′s Quantum Of Solace, which saw British star Daniel Craig reprise his role as the suave British spy.
A source tells British newspaper The Sun, “Freida came to the attention of the Bond team when they were casting Quantum Of Solace. She was too young at the time to play a love interest for a secret agent. But she is ready now.
“She has blossomed into an incredibly stunning young woman and would look perfect on Daniel Craig’s arm.
“Danny Boyle is favourite to take the helm of the next movie, which would increase Freida’s chances of a starring role.”
