Dev Patel has revealed that he feels "blessed".
The 18-year-old Skins actor has become a Hollywood star overnight, following his performance as street kid Jamal in Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire, which has won him several awards.
"I'm feeling great," he admitted to E! on the red carpet at the 66th annual Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles.
"I think I'd be at school right now if I wasn't here. I feel blessed. It's our first film and America has really embraced it, and I'm so excited to see how everyone else receives it."
Asked who would be on his lifeline if he was on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, Dev said he would pick the British filmmaker.
"Danny Boyle, because he knows everything about anything," he revealed.
