Nine year old Meli, who is battling leukaemia, met actor and heartthrob Ben Barnes, on the set of the film The Picture of Dorian Gray which Ben is currently filming at The Royal Naval College, Greenwich, London.

Starlight asked Ben if he would help realise little Meli’s dream which is to appear as an extra on the film set of a period drama. Ben said, “It was a joy to have lively Meli on set and help grant her wish.”

Hello everyone!

Since these mp3s have been quite successful at different LJ Communities, I have decided to post them here so you all can grab them. You might use them as your ringtone, alarm, Windows start-up tune or just sync them to your ipod. In short, do whatever you want with them! They are some snippets of some Ben’s quotes and Ben reading “Prince Caspian”. Big thanks to the beloved LJ Community of mine Narnia Dazzle.

Please do not hotlink. I will find out one way or another and I will take them down immediately, so please don’t do it, it’s rude. Also, download them as soon as possible as they might not be up for long (Tran might hunt me down for this as we have a reputation to keep. No joke).

In other news, here‘s a very interesting article from The Independent (UK) which talks about Ben, definitely worth the read.

The lovely member of BBF at LJ inemien has once again scanned an article on Ben and his Narnia co-star William from the dutch magazine Hitkrant. Those dutch sure love them some Bin Bons…

Here’s the translated interview (Thanks inemien!):

Battle of the Narnia-boys: William vs. Ben

Intro: William Moseley was THE hunk from ‘The Chronicles of Narnia’, but newcomer Ben is on his way to take that place.

In the movie you do some serious heroic stuff. How tough are you in daily life?

William: I dare to take a challenge, especially when it comes with something really adventurous. TO me, Narnia was an amazing challenge, and I’m happy to have started with it. If that was a good thing, is up to you.

Ben: I am as brave as Prince Caspian, although I have to admit I don’t find him very tough. He is quite insecure about what he has to do, and he believes in people who are better at things than he is. He doesn’t really want to be a king, nor a leader. That’s just like me; I’m not ready to be famous yet.

Do you dare to take risks?

Ben: No, not really. Someone first has to challenge me before I take a risk, and my younger brother is very good at that. Because of him I’ve done a lot of things which otherwise I’d never do. I’m still glad he gets to me like that. It would be a shame if I’d regret things later.
