She should hire an accent coach.


She's beautiful and clearly that's all Hollywood cares about when it comes to actresses (just so no smart-arse comments with: 'She should hire an ACTING coach hurr durr"). If she could just nail an American (the more neutral Californian) accent, it would open up far more avenues of work for her. Surely she can afford one after the last few big budget films she's shot? She's always being photographed with some Chanel bag or in a Valentino dress, after all.

That is just the way she is, she should not have to change her accen. She's perfect the way she is, and so glad to see her and Dev at TIFF.:)I am so happy for them:)

She's already changed her accent. Now it's an English-esque accent.

I like her english accent

I think she's very pretty, I can see how she'd have a succesful modelling career etc but I really don't think acting is for her.

I've not been impressed by any of her films and I think the hype/15 minutes of fame can only last so long.

With or without an accent change. Sooner or later people are going to realise that she's not capable of handling major film roles and I think she'll slowly filter out of the big screen movies.

Agree with everything you said EXCEPT that i don't find her "very pretty" either. If you've been to the south asian region, you'd know that she quite average looking. All the hype in Hollywood media would fizzle out in a couple of years IMO. Just like Aishwariya rai couldn't make it big in Hollywood, sadly i don't think Frieda will go any further either. That's just the way it is.

Freida has made it further in Hollywood than Aishwarya has though. Her filmography alone is far more impressive than a weak stint in Pink Panther (just comparing Hollywood work; I liked Devdas). Her looks are also more "Western-friendly" if we're talking about attractiveness.

She's an alright actress. Average, problem is the roles she's done have been too naturalistic, she has yet to tackle anything melodramatic, which is where the big buck and popularity are.

She needs to do a romantic comedy (woody allen doesn't count)
Action or adventure film.
Horror film
A thriller
