Ben Barnes

I'm speechless :shock: He is amazing as Dorian! WOW! I just back from the cinema, and I can't find the words to describe how amazed I'm by his performance :heart:
 
He is really cute:heart: I searched him up and was surpised to see that he did a English literature course at the university that I go to now!. He is also went to Wimbledon High school which I know. Kind of weird knowing a local boy from the place where I live became famous!:D

I saw the movie a couple of days ago, but I haven't read the book.
And now I'm curious - why did you like the book better? What's different?
 
He goes to my uni - I see him there once in a while. I thought he was younger than he really is. I just found out today who he is - for two years i see him walking around and had no idea.

Oh, I thought he already went to college. Do you know what he's studying?
 
That's the thing - i keep seeing him around but on websites it says that he STUDIED in my uni. I think he did/does English Literature & Drama.
 
Here's a nice interview from the London Evening Standard...

My London – Ben Barnes

29312246.jpg


Home is…
Wimbledon, where I grew up. I have been living with my younger brother Jack for a year now. I like that it’s just out of Central London.

What was the last play you saw in London?

I saw James McAvoy in Three Days of Rain, but that was a long time ago. I was away for seven months last year, but when I’m in London I try to support the actors I know.

What advice would you give a tourist?

Look up. There are so many wonderful gargoyles.

Which London shops do you rely on?

I absolutely detest shops. I tried to get my Christmas shopping done in one day, but I just meandered up and down Covent Garden and Oxford Circus. It was horrible. The boutiques and markets in Notting Hill are a little nicer.

What’s the best meal you’ve had in London?
I’ve had the most incredible meals at Locanda Locatelli. I love Italian food. I’ve only been able to afford going there twice but it is just amazing.

What’s your earliest London memory?

I have lots of memories of trotting around Big Ben. A few years ago I made a film, Bigga Than Ben, and we shot some scenes there, so it feels very nostalgic. Also because of the ridiculous namesake thing.

What would you do as Mayor for the day?

I would make the Tube run later. If you live even vaguely on the outskirts of London it’s difficult to get home.

What’s your life philosophy?

I didn’t particularly enjoy school, so my dad used to say, Success is the best revenge.’ Then about two years ago I was in LA and found a T-shirt with the saying on it.

What are you most afraid of?

Boredom. I like to keep moving and exciting myself. It’s very stubborn and childish really.

What are your guilty pleasures?

Not doing the things I’m supposed to do, like not going to the gym for a few months.

What would be on your tombstone?

I heard a brilliant one the other day from the comedian Tim Minchin: What’s the world going to revolve around now?’

What animal would you most like to be?

A lazy lion, so I could lie about all day and be brought food by my lionesses. I do quite like
the idea of being an eagle, too, so make that a flying lion.

What was the last album you downloaded?

I’m doing a film called Killing Bono, in which I play a wannabe rock star in the late 1970s and early 1980s, so I’ve been listening to a lot of David Bowie, The Police and Spandau Ballet. And Paolo Nutini’s latest album Sunny Side Up is really good.

What would you save from a fire?

My prosthetic face from Dorian Gray and my Narnia sword.

What are you up to at the moment?

I’m doing some ADR (voice-over dubbing) for my new film Locked In, a thriller with Eliza Dushku from Dollhouse and The Wire’s Clarke Peters. I have just finished shooting the third Narnia movie, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and this month I start filming Killing Bono.

Who’s your hero?

I like actors who make me feel something, like Jeff Bridges, Robert Downey Jr and Christopher Guest.

What do you most like wearing?

An Armani leather jacket. It was one of my first freebies and I wear it every day.

What’s the most romantic place in London?

London Bridge and Tower Bridge at night.

Have you ever stolen anything?

No… Well… Hmm. I got some clothes on loan a few months ago because I was doing a lot of press. They were meant to be returned, but a couple of them mysteriously went missing. But I definitely, definitely did not steal them.

Where did you last go on holiday?

My family and I went to Italy for my dad’s 60th. I could only join them for two days because I was flying to Australia. I slept most of the time and didn’t leave the villa once. But I did have some very nice Italian wine.
