Last week, Freida‘s boyfriend Dev Patel was spotted giving a thumbs up while exiting the Sunset Marquis hotel in Hollywood.

“The only way to cure that problem is to have more female writers and more female directors. There will be a different perspective when you have women writers and women directors. There is sometimes a misconception that a female director can’t really tackle manly issues and definitely Kathryn Bigelow proves them wrong,” Frieda recently told CNN about the male-dominated world of film.
