Freida Pinto says she ''can never watch'' 'Slumdog Millionaire' again as she watched it too much when it was first released.
Freida Pinto can never watch 'Slumdog Millionaire' again.
The 35-year-old actress - who made her film debut in Danny Boyle's Oscar-winning movie - admitted she watched the movie so many times after its big screen release, and now she can longer watch bring herself to tune in.
She told Empire Magazine: ''There's obviously a beautiful story that binds the entire film together, but it's the little moments and the emotion that each of these moments elicits that I really loved about the movie.
''That's why when it first came out, I watched it a million times and now I can never watch it again.
''I had not done a single movie before, and I'd never experienced anything like going to the movies with everyone and seeing your face on a massive screen.''
The 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' star revealed how she became emotional after seeing herself on screen at a film festival.
She explained: ''I'll be honest, the first time I saw my face on the big screen at Toronto International Film Festival I even cried. Not in a narcissistic way, but more like in a, 'I can't believe this actually happened', way.''
Pinto played the role of Latika - the love interest of Dev Patel's Jamal - in 'Slumdog Millionaire' and she's delighted the movie continues to connect with audiences, especially during the uncertainty caused by the coronavirus crisis.
She said: ''It's been 11 years since the movie was made, and the fact that people still feel so connected to the themes of it; to the actors and non-actors to their characters, feels good.
''I think it's wonderful that this can transcend whatever we are all going through; this film came out during the last recession and it made everyone feel really uplifted and hopeful and good.
''To me, it's a real testament that it's being brought back in during a time where everyone is feeling despairing and fearful and uncertain. I think that's the best compliment ever.''
