Today, August 20th 2008, is Ben’s 27th Birthday!

As I’m aware that not everyone was able to participate in the Birthday Book Project which Ben will receive shortly, I have set up an Online Birthday Book so all of our visitors who wish to do so can make birthday wishes to Ben. He might stumble upon it and read the messages, you never know! So why don’t you wish him Happy Birthday?

Happy 27th Birthday Ben! Everyone at BBF wishes you the best in your personal life and your career and hopes you get to spend a great birthday with those you love the most.

Hello everyone!

Thanks to the lovely cantodoconto for posting this newly found information about Ben’s past projects in our LJ Community.

» 1st picture: Capital Cafe – Leicester Square, Oct 30th 1999
» 2nd picture: Pop 2000 – Birmingham, November 2000
» 3rd picture: Most Wanted UK, October 2000

Ben joined Most Wanted UK in mid-October 1999 with Matt, Aaron, Marcus & Steven. We only got to see him perform once, which was at the Capital Cafe on October 30th. After leaving the band in December 99, he became one of the presenters of S Club TV (a Sunday morning programme where seven young presenters let the viewers know about everything that was going on around them). Ben’s main area was pop, and he also sang the shows theme tune along with one of the girls. Unfortunately, only one series was made, which finished in November 2000.Source

In other news, Narnia Web confirms the DVD and Blu-Ray release of ‘Prince Caspian’ on December 2nd, 2008. Right in time for the holidays!

I have also added this beautiful photoshoot of Ben which we already did have in the gallery but not in HQ, so enjoy!

… More?

And finally, for all those out there who still do not know what “Bin Bons” is or why us dazzlers call Ben like that, watch this video, it should clear all your doubts :)

I hope everyone has a lovely and safe weekend!

Shock Till You Drop has posted a larger version of the first picture of ‘Dorian Gray’. The film, which is currently being filmed in London, stars Ben alongside Colin Firth, Ben Chaplin, Rebecca Hall, Fiona Shaw and Rachel Hurd-Wood.

There’s been much discussion regarding Ben’s looks for ‘Dorian Gray’ as Dorian is described as a fair haired and blue eyed young lad which is not how Ben looks in the promotional pic (I personally do not mind). However, I tried giving Ben a Dorian Gray look just to see if he could pull it off, and he indeed can. Take a look:

What do you think? Discuss away!

Also, IMDB confirms a US release for “Bigga than Ben” scheduled for November 18th, 2008.

Hello everyone!

As I mentioned in my previous update, Ben was seen backstage of “Into the Hoods” in London on August 6th. I have added 2 HQ pictures (high quality is so much better, right?) to our gallery in which he is posing with Shaun Miles and Roger Davie.

Make sure to check this video out. It’s a clip about “Bigga than Ben” from a Russian Network, in it you can hear Ben speaking some Russian, it’s rather interesting! Credit goes to GraceMarieKelly who uploaded it to Youtube.

Thanks to Pale, we now know he says “We will steal products and sleep under the bridge!”.

Have a nice day!
