Freida Pinto says her beau Dev Patel is her action hero and loves his down-to-earth attitude.

The two have been dating ever since they met on the sets of 2007 movie "Slumdog Millionaire", reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"He's my own action hero. He is one of the cutest, cutest boys I have ever met, very down-to-earth, very humble, " she said.

"It is really funny when you introduce him to any celebrity he just goes like a little kid and jumps about all over the place, " she added.
