18. Stop talking about how thin he is! People from India tend to be thin and it's normal for them. Talk about the movie, I recently saw it and it was amazing! He is a wonderful actor and I hope he gets an oscar for his movie Slumdog Millionaire. I LOVED the movie!

19. Why waste your PR time on this douche bag?! Mark my words, he won't win anything. He's a waaay average actor. Every single child actor in Slum Dog movie deserves an Oscar. They made that movie! Besides... Tinseltown is racist against non-black minorities so ole Muhammed will have a better chance in Bollywood. Just pick up your stuff and audition for American Idol. Just sayin..

21. They picked him for the movie SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE he looks like a loser!
There are videos on youtube where Danny Boyle and Dev Patel both say that. He knows he is scrawny and that he looks like a loser. I see him as being kind of like McLovin in Superbad. He will never be a big movie star in America, but he will get roles to play.

22. Instead of focusing on appearances and judging a person based on extrinsic values why don't you comment (positive or negative) his breakthrough in an independent film. He is an 18 year old that was able to play off a dynamic character that loves and lives in poverty. Compared to all the Disney teen starts that make movie debuts and other teenagers I think this kid has got some skills and we're going to be seeing him a lot more, at least in british film.
As for him bein skinny, stop hatin on him just because you're over weight sitting at a desk surfin the web all day.

23. He's not from India. He was born in London. He looks like a normal 18 year old to me.

24. Well it might be a gift, if he starts to hit the pipe we will never know. And you know Hollywood is going to corrupt this little boy in no time.

27. Enough with all the racist remarks you guys. Not that anyone would ever give a rat's ass for all the useless negative comments some of you are making, or neither are you gonna make the slightest amount of difference, but for the heck of maturity and presence of mind, avoid everything racist.

28. #27 - I'm sorry to tell you but the majority of people who post on TMZ are racist especially who caresss (#18). That person is always making racist comments. That's why I rarely read the posts anymore.

29. People from India are very open minded when it comes to big fat americans, or other physical attributes like gender or stuff like that. We could learn a thing or two from them,
