"Slumdog Millionaire" actress Freida Pinto is feeling the heat in her sexy shoot for GQ magazine’s October 2010 issue.

On receiving too much attention due to Slumdog Millionaire: “I felt like people almost got fed up with seeing our faces splattered all over the place.”

On working with two directors (Woody Allen and Miral director Julian Schnabel): “Woody is someone I really respect, because he’s a legend, but it’s not like I got to know everything about his life. With Julian - we ended up sharing a very kind of personal relationship. Almost that of a father-daughter.”

Is Freida Pinto the next Bond girl?

With the success of Slumdog Millionaire and her distinct beauty, Freida Pinto is becoming a hot item for movie producers as she is being eyed for different movie projects.

Aside being cast in an upcoming Woody Allen movie, Freida Pinto reportedly is being invited to do a screen test for the next installment of the James Bond franchise.

A source tells British Sun, “Freida came to the attention of the Bond team when they were casting Quantum of Solace. 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. “Danny Boyle is the favorite to take the helm of the next movie, which would increase Freida’s chances of a starring role.”

How big is Freida Pinto's chances to become the next Bond girl? Slumdog Millionaire's Danny Boyle is reportedly the next director of 007 upcoming installment.
