The Sunday Herald Sun featured yesterday a small article on Ben in which is mentioned he will be filming the third Narnia movie this year in Australia. Thanks to MK from our livejournal community!

Have a nice day!

Good morning everyone,

We are still alive, pretty much. I believe it’s safe to say that all of us are kind of busy with the Christmas festivities approaching and a million and one papers to hand in before the end of the semester. We hope you understand!

A few days ago I woke up to the awesome news that Ben is friends with none  other than Rpattz!

The actor is also friends with another uber-hunk (?!) Prince Caspian’s Ben Barnes. Ben used to groove to soul music in high school with Rob’s older sister. Source

I’m sure the two lads can share hair tips.

However, much to my chagrin in a new interview with TeenHollywood Ben says he wanted the role of the dazzling 107 year old virgin vampire who sparks like a diamond in the sun, Edward Cullen:

I wanted to be in that Twilight film but I was too old. There’s no way I could look seventeen for the next three years.

I bet the real reason behind this is that he really wanted to drive the shiny Volvo. I give it a day until the Twilightmoms start a petition to have Ben be one of the Volturi (Italian vampires) in the Twilight sequel “New Moon”… Oh wait, there’s one already.
Anyway, make sure to read the whole interview here!

Moving on to something else…

Here’s a new picture of Ben’s four and a half minutes pop career.

Ben’s become patron of Make-A-Wish!

27 year old Ben is best known for his role as Prince Caspian in The Chronicles of Narnia and his latest film, Easy Virtue, premiered in London recently. Ben has become the latest celebrity to join Make-A-Wish’s list of VIP Patrons.

Neil Jones, CEO of Make-A-Wish, commented: “Make-A-Wish is extremely proud to have Ben Barnes as a Patron. His dedication and commitment will be a huge asset to the charity, and we are very honoured to welcome this popular rising film star to our team.” Source

Ben is in Yahoo’s list of Breakout Stars of 2008, see here.
