Dev Patel's eyebrows cause problems on set!

Slumdog Millionaire star Dev Patel has hinted his big eyebrows caused some problems for him on the set of his new movie The Last Airbender!

In the 3D action adventure from Oscar nominated director M Night Shyamalan, 20-year-old Dev had to do a lot of filming with fire and said he had some close calls:

"I've got really big eyebrows, so I've got to watch out. You know, I told everyone, look, these eyebrows, they're worth a lot now, so don't touch them!"

The Last Airbender is about three youngsters who go on a journey to save the world and restore harmony amongst the four elements - Earth, Fire, Water and Air.

The ice scenes were shot in Greenland and Shyamalan said it had some challenges:

"The weather is unpredictable there. There could be a white-out blizzard and you're just stuck in the hotel, the only hotel there is to stay in and we were all there," the director said.

"The first time they had a safety instruction meeting, he was like 'Well we have emergency tents out there and you'll be fine for three days if you're stranded out there.' We were all like, 'What!? If we get stranded on a glacier for three days! Does this often happen?'!"

The Last Airbender is due to open on August 13.
