Trivia
TeenHollywood asked: If you are going to take someone out on a
date, what kind of qualities does that person have to have?
Ben: They've just got to be someone who enjoys life and enjoys
a laugh and has a good appetite for life in general. I can't stand
it when I take someone to a restaurant and they order a salad.
Ben's favourite food is a big British Sunday roast
The
Story of Ben's Prince Caspian book
There was a sticker in the front with a picture of a bear and
it said "I can't bear to be without my books", a little
pun and then it says "name" and I wrote Benjamin Barnes.
I was eight years old.
Finally
something he said to Teenhollywood that I think sums Ben up.
"Aslan asks whether Caspian - he tells the Kings and Queens
of Narnia to rise. And Caspian looks up and says, "I don't
think I'm ready yet." And he says, "For that reason,
then, I know you are." I sort of feel I find myself leaning
toward that answer, when people ask me how I'd propose to deal
with the attention of playing the lead in a film. I sort of feel
that I'm not necessarily ready, or even deserving of it. At least
- and that definitely mirrors."
