Please let him stay this way – so humble and grateful and eager and sweet. Here’s Dev Patel at the BAFTAs riding the incredible wave, and still as amazed as he was 2 months ago when this thing took off.

Dev is adorable!

Did you see him on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart? If not, you MUST. But only if you want to cuddle up to your television and muss his hair and pinch his cheeks. Dev is articulate and engaging, his attitude is right – so right! – and best…he acts like an 18 year old! A real, awkward, goofy, funny 18 year old!

Do the English child stars turn out better? Oh no I didn’t.

Discuss.
