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?

She is ok. Only by sheer luck she is enjoying all this hollywood life. Please enjoy it freida. But leave Daniel alone. She is no way a Bond Girl. She does not have that “quality”. She is ok for other movies.

They would NEVER pick JAnniston. A bond girl is mysterious, exotic looking, sexy, etc. Anniston is Rachel in EVERY movie, not the least bit mysterious, and exotic ONLY if you’re talking about her chin. She has no range. AND James Bond movies don’t need big names (at least she thinks she’s a big name) helping out. James Bond is James Bond.

I finally saw the pap-in-the-box vid. it doesn’t really make my opinion of her any different, lol, except that she acted more like a handler then a G/F.

and megan fox is a little too trashy to be a bond girl, beautiful girl but classy…. eh not really.

The topic is whether Pinto would make a good Bond Girl ( NO! IMHO). Why are some posts about Aniston ?

she’s perfect for the role….if they’re planning to have a james bond musical. lol!

I am with the people who think Frieda and Megan would not be right for a Bond girl. First, I think they are too young for DC (Gemma looks older than her years), second they have no spark to them. These girls are pretty and bland but I guess that is ok as Olga is also pretty but bland.

vote on if you think freida would be a good bond girl at http://www.howlegit.com

TO #105: Because the big chin (JAWS) Aniston wants a role as a Bond Girl. She “accidentally” had dinner at the same restaurant at the same time as Daniel Craig. He totally ignored her.
SHAMELESS BIMBO!!

If the Bond franchise isn’t careful, they’re going to make Bond look like a pediphile!!!
A 24 year old with a 41 year old, yes I definitely agree, very creepy!!!
I thought 22 and 40 was pretty creepy. Technically he’s old enough to be her father. Given he would have been 17 when she was born, but think of it, it’s like a 17 year old having a crush on a newborn baby.
They need to find a beautiful women in her thirties, like Kate Beckinsale (SP?)

These comments are hilarious… She would make a beautiful bond girl and so would Jennifer Aniston (I noticed some of you ragging on her) … There aren’t too many women in Hollywood that wouldn’t make a good bond girl and at least Freida is exotic.

No way!!! She is beautiful but in a cute kind of way. I can’t see her being a tough bond girl.

Aniston complaints @ 03/13/2009 at 10:31 pm

If all of you aniston haters will take a close look, Freida has the same jaw line/shape as aniston, large square chin and masculine jawline just like aniston !!!!
they are both beautiful women, but I would vote for Anison because she has a kiss butt body, very strong and athletic, while Freida, who is beautiful, does not have a very nice body., kind of scrawny looking, chicken legs. She’s beautiful, but the bod is not bond girl material.
I’m just saying the bond girls have always had kick butt bods, better than what Freida is offering.

Ehhhh, not her.

NAY!

BTW, #12 & 17 are f-in racist & closed-minded! Wait the F up, this is the 21st century!!!! European woman are the only women that are sexy!
Racist f-ers!

She’s too hot for Daniel Craig

nayyy shes so boring, they need to get a good bond girl for once

The topic is whether Pinto would make a good Bond Girl ( NO! IMHO). Why are some posts about Aniston ?
======================================================

because the same silly anit-posters are arround, like on the usual anti Aniston and anti Mitchell threads. They have NOTHING different to talk about, because their brains are that small, they only can concentrate on ONE thing per year.
Fortunately at least the Satsuki-bashers are on their way back to the last Daniel thread, because e.g. this “thread head” poster #91 gets annoyed with too many non-Daniel fans interfering with their “usual” discussions.
But you can not call that “discussions”, it has to be called “bashing” or b.u.l.l.s.h.i.t.-writing.

Amen to 118 @ 03/14/2009 at 5:47 am

LOL You are SO RIGHT ON.
Maybe they should start their own Sats bashing site and leave the rest of us alone to talk about more than one subject and and they can all go away and bash in private so we don’t have to listen to all their ignorant b.u.l.l.s.h.i.t. and maybe they can take the racist cow smart head with them.

u go girl wave the flag for all us asian beauties! U shud marrry daniel u wud have stunning babies!! forget fugly satsuki man that guy needs glasses if he likes her! FRIEDA ALL THE WAY!!

Listen I am not a $at$ fan myself but I really don’t think she is worth any attention as she is not the celeb. I hate the attention on her dopey RuPaul outfits. I think more importantly the attention should be on DC and the Bond movies. I think Freida is very beautiful but I do think she is too young for DC. I like the idea of Kate B. as she is beautiful, can act and is the right age for DC. I honestly believe this whole thing (Danny B $ Freida) is a publicity seeking rumor. Maybe Danny B. and Freida can get Daniel Craig into Mr. Chows!!!

Sorry I don´t want see Freida (Indian) or Satsuki (Japanese) in the next bondmovie, I want see some European, I liked Vesper Lynd, Caterina murino and Strawberry Fields, Daniel as James Bond doesn´t need Hispanic girl again, look at his James, European girl is more right for him.
I am not able to imagine how Daniel´s Bond fights with next Michelle Yeoh or with some dancing Fátima with balloons on shoulders.
I am not racist, I said I want see European girl for the next bondmovie.
It can be an English, Italian, Swiss or Polish for 23.Bond, I am southern nationality myself, my roots are in India, but I don´t look so. I am southern too and I don´t want see Freida in the bondmovie because she totally is not good for Daniel´s 007 who is so cold and white like a chalk. But over they way, I´ve read that Daniel likes Hindi movies and he likes crazy bondmovie with Moore where one bond girl crazily danced indian dance. But I bet Olga Kurylenko will get a part again and others will have not luck to get a part. It depends if producers will do decision about continuation for Qos and I think it possibly will happen in next months (in summer as Daniel will meet Babs and Michael). My friends are international, I am friend of Vietnames, chocolates from Ghana, Burkina and Malawi, but damn, I don´t want see some bore and darker Freida without sparkle by white chalk Daniel side! Better is Megan Fox, if Megan will wear elegant clothes and sit aboard a train, so she´s perfect too, if she will fire or fight, she´s good too! She looks like a mafian´s bride. By the way,my friends likes czech white girls and they want sleep only with them.

Megan is a real, proper and sexy cat! Perfect for sexy part as is Bond girl.

Here’s a picture where Freida looks more like a Bond girl:

http://www.mi6.co.uk/news/index.php?itemid=7424&t=mi6&s=news

Not being ageist in any way, but I think casters should watch out that Dan doesn’t look ridiculous with girls on his arm who are half his age. Roger Moore said in an interview once that he was starting to feel silly acting with Bond girls half his age - ok, I think he was in his 50s then, but often, younger girls don’t make the man look younger, they make him look older because the age difference is too obvious. I’d love to see him with a 30 or even 40 something actress, somebody like Monica Bellucci, perhaps.

i think we should all just take a deep breath here. the write up says that freida was invited to screen test for a part in the next bond film. it’s a far cry from being offered the job. if any of you have seen what happens in screen tests you’ll know what i’m saying. in the first place, freida is more than likely only one of many women being looked at. she probably has a “look” that one of the casting agents likes. so he/she invited freida to test. that’s all!! before the final decision is made daniel craig and the other decision makers will be have seen a lot of screen tests from many other women.
