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 ½I can´t bear to be without my books½, a little pun and then it says ½name½ and I wrote Benjamin Barnes. I was eight years old.
Finally something he said to Teenhollywood that I think sums Ben up.
½Aslan asks whether Caspian - he tells the Kings and Queens of Narnia to rise. And Caspian looks up and says, ½I don´t think I´m ready yet.½ And he says, ½For that reason, then, I know you are.½ 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.½
