Dev Patel's the most energetic actor I've ever met, says Dame Judi Dench

Washington, April 30 (ANI): Veteran actress Dame Judi Dench is all praise for her 'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel' co-star Dev Patel, insisting that he's the most energetic actor she has ever met.

The 77-year-old actress has become a fan of the 'Slumdog Millionaire' star and admitted that she'll be keeping a close watch on his career.

"He's utterly delightful and I will watch his career fantastically closely," Contactmusic quoted her as telling WENN.

"He's probably got more energy than any actor I've met in 56 years of being in the theatre. He is a powerhouse, like a very strong battery and he always wants to try new things; each take is never quite the same so it's very, very exciting," she added. (ANI)
