Dev Patel, whose staggeringly poignant portrayal of Saroo Brierley in his latest film Lion left audiences in tears, has won our hearts all over again by bringing his smitten Mother, Anita to the Oscars.
There is nothing more attractive than a man who openly loves his mum am I right ladies?
In a red carpet interview Patel told Ryan Seacrest “my Mum is constantly on the verge of tears… she’s very proud, they are happy tears.”
Swoon.
Lion is up for six Academy Awards, including Best Supporting Actor and Actress for Patel and Nicole Kidman, respectively.
