Translation from LoveyaBen
“Many compare me with Orlando Bloom“
Bingo for the british shooting-star Ben Barnes (26): He plays the title role in the second part of the fantasy films “The Chronicles of Narnia”.
- Was the audition process
hard?
Ben Barnes: No, an casting agent saw me on stage in the “History Boys”
and begged me for an application. You don’t get such a thing as an
actor very often.
- Have you known “The
Chronicles of Narnia” before?
Are you kidding? I grown up with the books! I still have my old damaged
books which I read as I was a child.
- And you always imagined
Prince Caspian exactly the way you play him now?
No in my imagination he was a lot younger and had blond hair.
- “Narnia”
is a big fantasy-world, do you have a big power of imagination as well?
Each child has a huge imagination. But I realize that the imagination is
getting lesser when you’re getting older. That is really too bad.
- Has anyone already
said that you are looking like the young Orlando Bloom?
O thank you very much! Yes I’ve already heard that. For me that compare
is a compliment.
