Interview with Ben Barnes, english version – European round table at 2008 Berlin International Film Festival about Prince Caspian 18/02/2008
This is a GREAT interview of Ben Barnes!! Below you can find some interesting quotes! To read the whole interview click HERE:
A journalist: Can you tell please about your family. How were your parents?
Are you interested by my parents!?
The same journalist : Yes!
What do you know about my parents?
The same journalist : I don’t know. That’s why I asked!
I see. Well, I grew up in South-West London in a very close family with my parents. I have got a younger brother: Jack. He is now 23. Much cooler than I am. Very lie back and easy going, and party animal. So I just try to be more like him. I take his advice. I grew up with lots of music. My dad was very interested by the Stones, the Beatles, the Eagles, and the all great bands. He takes me to the concerts. And I decided to go to university to see what I can do. Yes, no, yes… I was right: I wanted to be an actor.
The same journalist: So when you were shooting…
I love the scene with Sergio Castellitto (who plays the king Miraz): I had my sword on his throat and he has a kind of smile… makes me scare! This kind of moment… but I don’t how it will be on the screen.
A journalist: Do you know that Sergio is although director? Would you like to work with him?
Yes, I think he’s great! I love the accent too, keep talking please! (this journalist is Italian) (laughter)

Thanks so much for this! I love this interview! I love reading about how he started his career and all that. It’s inspiring and I think his parents are wonderful to let him chase his dreams like that, especially since they’re in a totally different career path.
I also love how he refers to his brother in the interview, and how he tells the interviewer to keep speaking because of the Italian accent! Adorable! I love him! In a fan girl sense, of course.
Ben rocks! ^_^
