Hi everyone! As most of you may have noticed, Ben Barnes Fan was hacked again last weekend. Thanks to Tran and the countless hours she put into getting the site cleaned up this week, we are now back up and running! We are aware that some parts of the site look a bit funny right now (the gallery in particular) but don’t worry, everything will be back to normal within the next few days!

Thanks to cantodoconto for the heads up about the new ‘Easy Virtue‘ interview below! You can also listen to an audio interview Ben did for ‘Easy Virtue‘ here. Thanks to Hosokinema.com.

Thanks to flame-eternal for the heads up about this new interview with Ben from ComingSoon.net!

ComingSoon.net: I think you might have already had this role lined up when we first met on the set of “Prince Caspian,” is that right?
Ben Barnes: Not on the set I didn’t. I got this after I finished, I went to L.A., and I got this while I was there. I just got an Email from Steph, “I saw you in ‘Stardust,’ you have to do this film, that’s it.” And then he wanted me to send a tape of one of the scenes, which I then did in L.A. and I sent to him and he then gave me the part. He said (puts on Aussie accent) “I never give actors parts without actually meeting them,” and I was like, “Well, you just did.”

CS: Were you familiar with Noel Coward’s work? You went to drama school so you must have known some of it.
Barnes: I actually went to university. I did English and drama at university, which is more academic. It’s more critical analysis, but I got to read a lot of plays and write essays about them, read a lot of books and poetry, and I think that’s very helpful when you’re reading and analyzing scripts that you’re going to be involved with.

CS: And was Noel Coward one of the playwrights you read or liked?
Barnes: Not particularly. He wasn’t my biggest influence, but I had seen a couple of his plays and read a few and liked them very much. “Blithe Spirit” is a tremendous premise, which has been used over and over again. Read more.
