Danny Boyle's hit film "Slumdog Millionaire" star Freida Pinto and Dev Patel reveal all – From Angelina Jolie’s advice and Pinto’s crush on Leonardo DiCaprio to Patel’s personal message to Will Smith.

Plus, set secrets are revealed from the Oscar nominated film – What everyone wants to know about the outhouse scene.

Pinto told “Extra’s” Terri Seymour about meeting Angelina Jolie at the Critics Choice Awards. “I didn’t say much. I was just like starring in awe for a bit…She was really wonderful to talk to and very supportive of newcomers…She’s just like, ‘Embrace it. Enjoy it and keep it real. Don’t get affected by all this. Enjoy every moment.’”

Patel tells “Extra” that he would love to work with Will Smith and even sends a personal message to the star.

He declares, “Hello, Mr. Smith…Please let me do a film with you. I stumbled upon your premiere of Hancock in London and I waited three hours. I was dying to go to the toilet and I’ve got a picture of you on my phone…It’d be great. Just a small role. Shake your hand or something…Thank you.”

Also on Patel’s wish list? “ Leonardo DiCaprio. I think he’s wicked…[And] I love Jim Carrey.”

Pinto admits that meeting DiCaprio was a highlight since she had “fantasized about him. Had a crush on him. Ever since Titanic…This is really embarrassing…I had a scrapbook with everything Leonardo in it…He’s a really nice person…The crush is gone but the admiration is still there.”

Pinto continued to praise DiCaprio’s Revolutionary Road co-star saying, “I really think it’d be fun to work with Kate Winslet because I found this newfound support in her…Every time I have a question, she’s always there to answer it.”

Still getting used to his new found fame, Patel says, “I went up to Danny DeVito. We were at the Producers Guild Awards…I said, ‘Hi, Mr. DeVito.’ And he said, ‘Oh, hey. How are you doing?’…He made us sign something for his family…I was like, ‘Shouldn’t I be getting an autograph from YOU?’”

Everyone wants to know what the small boy jumped into during the infamous outhouse scene. Patel reveals, “It was actually peanut butter and chocolate….It’s the funniest scene. In between takes, everyone was licking [it]. Tasted so good.”

And find out “Extra’s” big on-set surprise for Pinto to which she exclaims, “Bloody embarrassing! I thought that was behind me!” 

“Extra’s” interview with Freida Pinto and Dev Patel airs tomorrow, Thursday, January 29th.
