Mr. July

If you’ve never heard of Dev Patel, you must live under a rock. Seriously. He first broke through to American cinema with his award winning role in Slumdog Millionaire but actually was in the British show Skins prior to his Slumdog fame.

While perusing through GQ this month I was delightfully surprised to see Dev looking suave and chic in a six page editorial promoting his upcoming movie The Last Airbender. In the movie Dev plays Prince Zuko, the 16 year old prince of the Fire Nation. The film, directed by M. Night Shyamalan, opened on July 1st, 2010.

Fun Facts:
Currently dating Slumdog co-star Frieda Pinto
Has a black belt in tae kwon do
Won a bronze medal at world AIMAA championship
Won 11 awards for his role in Slumdog Millionaire and was nominated for another 11

Here are images from the shoot, enjoy!
