He wanted to become an actor from an early age and excelled in drama at GCSE level, scooping top marks for a touching portrayal of a child caught up in the Beslan siege of 2004.

The entire Skins cast was re-cast at the end of series two, and Dev beat hundreds of actors to be cast in the lead role of Danny Boyle's heartwarming drama Slumdog Millionaire. The film went on to win a staggering eight Academy Awards in 2009.
