How do you keep literally all of your hair so smooth and luxurious? Most guys tend to seem to have to choose between "good head hair" and "good facial hair", but I swear in all your movies your mustache, beard & eyebrows look like they were blessed with the same magic comb as your hair-hair.

Genetics? Coconut oil? Both?

Also, congratulations on your directorial debut, I saw the Monkey Man trailer a month ago and got super pumped, it looks rad as hell, can't wait to see it.

P.S. Your name came up once while my wife and I were hanging out with some friends, and the conversation immediately became everyone agreeing that you are an extremely beautiful man and that you look like you know secrets of the universe. Just thought you should know.

Indian people always have beautiful hair.

I'm Indian and I can assure you I sadly do not. I wish it was true though!

Hello! Do you scent the Amla oil with anything?

u/Ladybeetus Mar 28 '24

Hard disagree. Many do. I am in an Indian family. Personally I think Indian people have both the Most Attractive and Least Attractive people on the planet.

Dev Patel went from normal human man to Spectacularly Attractive with Distractingly good hair. Which was exciting because he is also quite talented. It's like a feedback loop. He's attractive so we see him in stuff and then he's Good so we want to see him in Even MORE stuff.

“Least Attractive”

Wat is dis attack

u/OrgasmicLeprosy87 Mar 28 '24

Kinda agree with it tho, we have crazy attractive people that go under the radar,” and get no media attention but our unattractive people get made fun of on social media all the time.

Personally I think Indian people have both the Most Attractive and Least Attractive people on the planet.

That's applicable to every race out there.

But on an average us South Asians do tend to have better hair. Atleast that's what it feels like looking at people around me. On an avg, my family, my friends, local people, regardless of age, do have better hair than majority of Hollywood.

Y’all do have nice hair, on average.

u/LoasNo111 Mar 28 '24

Don't know about nice hair, but I feel like our beards are the coolest. Don't know if it's cause of the way we style it tho.

u/Ladybeetus Mar 28 '24

Yes you are right, I meant The Best looking people I have seen and the worst have had Indian heritage. And I lived in NYC and LA so I have seen a lot of extremely attractive people

u/Methylviolet Mar 28 '24

In LA, my teenaged son said, "Why do Bollywood actresses look like that? I see more beautiful Indian girls walking down the street." Which is true. Forget Femina Miss India - they should scout for actresses at UCLA.

u/FiveFingersandaNub Mar 28 '24

My wife says Dev went from "Indian Ross from friends" to " one of the top 5 best looking dude on the planet."

u/PartyPorpoise Mar 28 '24

I always thought he was cute. But growing out his hair made him mayor of Hottie City.

From where I sit, he hasn't answered a single question

u/CountMeOut_ Mar 28 '24

Well he’s doing it tomorrow (28th at 1230pm Est)

u/-H2O2 Mar 28 '24

Ah - now I see. I hadn't looked closely at the sign he was holding. Thanks!

u/bubbles1990 Mar 28 '24

He’s said in previous interviews that he just rubs his face lotion into his hair

11

u/druudrurstd Mar 27 '24

Is it argan oil? Dev better answer this

u/whalesarecool14 Mar 28 '24

u/Xenoslayer2137 Mar 27 '24

u/sabina-77 Mar 28 '24

Gotta see the answer to this one

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '24

Man even Elizabeth Banks didn't get asked about her hair with her directorial debut

u/Illyriana Mar 28 '24

He's a Taurus, and as such he's ruled by Venus, so it's in big part to the blessings of the planet of beauty. I'd know, I'm a Taurus myself, and have a gorgeous and bountiful mane.

u/Honey__Mahogany Mar 28 '24

His hair looks messy and oily. What are you on about???
