London 'Slumdog Millionaire' actor Dev Patel might have become a international celebrity with his debut film but that does not save him from embarrassing moments in real life.

The actor has revealed that he was answering nature's call when his film 'Slumdog Millionaire' won the 'Best Ensemble' award at the Screen Actor's Guild award ceremony this week and had to make a mad rush to get to the stage on time to join his co-stars, ‘Contactmusic’ reported.

The British actor's ill timed toilet break resulted in him dashing through the audience in the Shrine Auditorium to reach the stage. He recalls, "I literally ran and I broke someone's champagne glass on the way."

The 18-year-old actor has been taken from anonymity and propelled into stardom with his first film 'Slumdog Millionaire' which has won 10 Oscar nominations.

When call of nature comes! by Ramesh K. on 28 Jan 2009

When the bell rings, the person has to run, lest he wets his pants. The problem is universal and not particular to Dev Patel. He might be having a weak bladder, but that happens to everyone. I was amazed that nearly 2 million people had gathered at the Mall during Obama's inauguration, and how many had to relieve themselves, and where did they do it.

There were over 4000 portable toilets at the Mall during Obama's inauguration.
