Freida Pinto: Next Bond Girl?

Freida Pinto: Next Bond Girl?

Slumdog Millionaire beauty Freida Pinto has been invited to a screen test for the next Bond movie, reports UK’s The Sun.

One of Hollywood’s hottest properties, the 24-year-old Mumbai model could become the new Bond girl.

Freida was first spotted by producers during the casting for Quantum of Solace but has most recently been swept up in Slumdog mania — eight Oscars, seven Baftas and four Golden Globes!

A source said: “She was too young at the time to have a part as a love interest for a secret agent. But she has blossomed into an incredibly stunning young woman and would look perfect on Daniel Craig’s arm. [Slumdog director] Danny Boyle is favorite to take the helm of the next movie, which would increase Freida’s chances of a starring role.”

DO YOU THINK Freida Pinto would be a good Bond girl — YAY or NAY?

So old (Daniel)

Agree, Daniel is at that stage where he does not want to be upstaged by someone who is more popular than himself. It will probably be 2 fairly unknown “actresses” who are more models. I just hope they have a better plot than the last one.

what about sats? ))))

Uh, she still looks TOO YOUNG!

Although as long as she doesn’t suck face with Daniel Craig, then it’s fine.

i think she’s a pretty girl and all
but i defs dont wanna see her as a bond girl
i dont think her sexiness is up there yet…maybe in a few years

she is not that hot~

UMM FREIDA IS NO BOND GIRL MATERIAL

FIRSTLY SHE CAN’T ACT

SECONDLY SHE DOESN’T HAVE THE SEXY BODY OF A BOND GIRL

THIRDLY JAMES BOND IS TOO RACEY FOR AN INDIAN ACTRESS AND WILL BE CRITISIED BY INDIANS BACK HOME.

THEY THINK EVERYONE IS JUST GOING TO WATCH JAMES BOND BECAUSE YOU KEEP PROMOTING IT…BUT TRUTH BE TOLD, NO ONE REALLY CARES ABOUT FRIEDA!

I THINK THEY ARE GOING TO REGRET CASTING HER, ITS JUST HYPE OVER SLUMDOG…

>Hello belle! are you freethinker? You looks like Canadian

No, definitely not me!

And I agree with troy and tread head - they are going to cast a more unknown actress, not an A-lister.

hi Freethinker and THREAD head-
THnaks JJ - finally a new thread!
Thread- i do not have the answer yet on that blind- I am hoping sometime today/tonight-
(It is a long story, but they have not posted it yet…I hopefully will find out sometime today…)-
I want an answer on this one AND the other blind (phone sex…)-
I will catch yu over here on this thread or back on the old one??

the power of ‘beauty’

Not a great career move. Look at Halle, after her Oscar she did one. I don’t understand. Bond movies are about BOND.. Not the women. They are mear decoration. It is more of a Sports Illustrated cover for movies. She needs to do some other things. Her PR team are really pushing the sexy style thing with her. I am not on board yet. Sorry..

а баба яга против ))

She’d be PERFECT for the role, yay!
She gorgeous and sexy, besides bond girls don’t have to be the best actresses, freida could definitely pull it off.

thread head @ 03/13/2009 at 6:13 pm

Hi DLU! It looked to me on the Buzzphoto site that the phone sex blind is the main one they are going to reveal today. I didn’t want to sign up for that myself because they want too much personal information. That is strange that it’s this late in the day and they still haven’t revealed the answer yet!

I’m not sure yet about whether to stay with this thread or go back to the previous. Sometimes these mixed threads get annoying with too many non-Daniel fans interfering with our “usual” discussions.

I SAY YAY!!!! SHE’S BEAUTIFUL AND WOULD BE GREAT IN A BOND MOVIE………….I HOPE IT HAPPENS FOR HER!!!

to DLU and Thread

Hey Freethinker! I read something today about the yacht manufacturer who made the sailboat used in CR was auctioning off short sails on the same sailboat (from CR) for Comic Relief.

thread head @ 03/13/2009 at 6:32 pm

P.S. I think you are right. I think I’ll go back to lurking on the old thread.

To "to all" @ 03/13/2009 at 6:34 pm

HEY THREAD and FREERTHINKER-
Thread I think you are right- too many “others” here….
I am going back to the old thread now-
The answer on the blind: It is along-ish story, can’t really discuss it in detail- you know why, but I did sign up, and then I have to sign up for a second time bec the site is protecting themselves…for fear of revealing the blind- then a possibole lawsuit afterwards…
I will catch you and Freethinker back on the old thread

She would be awsome in tight dress. I think she will be 100 times better than no talent Aiswarya rai. I think it is about character. Pinto is more outgoing type.

Freida pinto rocks. She was a hit in every dress she wore. I don’t even watch these things until she started to show her style.

Friggin NO!

Nuff said.

lol I can only laugh about Chnnifer Aniston wanting to become a Bond-Girl,lol maybe she should try for the role of James Bond I mean if she was to play a girl then how can the viewers know whos Daniel and whos Jen since she looks like Daniel Craig with long hair.Freida would be cool as a bond girl I think
