Bio
Born Benjamin Barnes (still trying to
find out if he has a middle name) on August
20, 1981 he's 27 his Dad is a Psychiatrist
and my Mum is a Therapist. He grew up
in South-West London and still lives in
London now.
He has a younger brother called Jack who's
currently 23.
Ben has a great many talents and as well
as acting he can also sing and play piano
and the drums.
His first professional job was playing
the drums in "Bugsy Malone"
in the West End when he was 16.
Ben was a member of the National Youth
Music Theatre between 1997 and 2003
He says himself he has a very eclectic
taste in music which include the Beatles,
the Stones, Queen and some Motown and
Stevie Wonder and Donny Hathaway and modern
stuff like Arctic Monkeys and Kanye West.
He also says he has a eclectic taste in
movies as well one of his favourites is
This is Spinal Tap.
Ben wanted to be a actor but on the advice
of his parents went to University at Kingston

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."
