nowy wywiadzik przeprowadzony na ulicy Smile

MSN has posted a short interview with Ben where he talks about the Voyage of the Dawn Treader film.

Now I know it’s not really the done thing to doorstep actors to talk about their upcoming projects but when I saw Ben Barnes (aka Prince Caspian) wandering down the road round the corner from my house this morning, I couldn’t not take the opportunity to quiz him very briefly about the upcoming third film in the Narnia series, The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader. Graciously he didn’t have a problem with me interviewing him in the middle of the street and here’s what we discussed….

With the trailer for The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader debuting this week the buzz has really started, it promises to be a big Christmas release….

Yeah, I hope it is. Personally I’m quite excited that it’s going to be 3D. It’s my favourite of the seven books, I think it’s one of the best stories and it’s got some good human characters as well – I think Eustace, who Will Poulter plays brilliantly, is a really funny character. It’s got a lot of the fun magical stuff of the first ones and I’ve got some fun action stuff which is cool. It’s going to be good I think.

We saw our first glimpse of footage this week with the trailer (you can watch it below) but we don’t see much of you in it. Have you seen it and how do you think it reflects the film?

I have seen it and I think they’ve done the right thing in trying to show the scope of it and trying to show the different things in it. Obviously I was the focus of the marketing campaign of the middle film so it’s probably not very sensible to do the same thing again.

So is there less pressure on your shoulders this time round?

Yeah, I’m off the hook a bit on this one.

You’ve got a new director in Michael Apted – what’s he brought to the movie?

Just a sort of an outside eye and a very human touch really. I think he was as anxious as any of us going in to it. When we first met and spoke he told me how anxious he was about the scale of it but I think he did a great job and I think it’s going to have an interesting flavour to it. Saying that I haven’t seen it yet.

This is the first Narnia film without Disney behind it (Twentieth Century Fox partnered up with Walden Media after Disney dropped the franchise) – did that affect production at all?

Fox were very hands on during the whole process which was completely expected and understandable. It’s nice that, in a way, to have someone who really cares about it – not that Disney didn’t, it was obviously very precious to them too – but in terms of people going to see them film, apart from the logo at the beginning I don’t think it’s going to make a huge amount of difference

Since ‘Prince Caspian’, you are a star. How important is fame to you?

I would never dare to call myself a star. I’m miles away from that. Strictly speaking, I am still learning. One mustn’t forget: Success hasn’t come over night for me.

How hard was that for you?

After graduating from university, I was quite desperate because I couldn’t get a job. Also, my time in Los Angeles was not exactly successful. Except for auditioning for a couple of bad films, I managed nothing there. So I came back to England completely broke and was eventually really happy about it. Just as well, because as you can see, everything worked out pretty well. (Laughs.)

So what did you find interesting about your new role as Dorian Gray?

I loved Oscar Wilde’s book even when I was a teenager – a novel that was ahead of its time. I liked that director Oliver Parker drew a very psychological portrait of the character.

Dorian Gray tries with all means possible to get to the top – can a comparison to your career be made?

In some ways, this comparison is acceptable. We do live in a society obsessed with youth which only craves beauty and fame. But in the end, it is pretty soulless and empty. As an actor, you have to constantly balance between two realities. On the one hand, you are the private individual. And then there’s this weird thing called public image. That is what Oscar Wilde is describing in his novel. For me, it is a wonderful metaphor of how one can get lost in meaningless and superficial things. In no case do I want to end as terribly as Dorian.

But looking well is not necessarily bad, is it?

I find it embarrassing to talk about my looks. Of course it opens doors and it provides you with a certain security. But without talent, you’re not getting anywhere. In any case, I want to prove myself as an actor and don’t want to be defined by my looks alone. I noticed how much our world is obsessed with beauty during the shoot of ‘Easy Virtue’ – with Jessica Biel. The crap she had to deal with was unbelievable. Her looks were all that mattered. That’s just crazy! Especially for women, this has to be pretty tedious.

Are you vain?

(Laughs.) No. My looks are not important to me. I prefer wearing jeans and a leather jacket. That’s all I need. And I don’t worry about getting older at all – like Dorian Gray does. On the contrary, I’m looking forward to getting older! Meanwhile, I am already 28, but no one believes me. And while that is helpful in playing Prince Caspian, it is uncomfortable when producers tell you that you are too young for other parts. But maybe I shouldn’t complain so much about my genetic advantage. (Laughs.) Especially since other people would sell their soul for it.

Have you ever been seduced by quick fame?

Not yet, especially because I had to deal with so many failures at the beginning of my career. I am aware of the fact that, as an actor, one can be praised to the skies on the one day, and be almost completely forgotten on the next. I view my success, especially the one as Prince Caspian, quite soberly, because behind these fantasy films there is a huge marketing machine which plays you into the centre of attention.

In ‘Dorian Gray’ you are working with Oscar winner Colin Firth. Did he give you any career advice?

I had hoped that he would become some sort of mentor for me and give me brilliant tips. But he only said: Trust your instinct! However, it already is inspiring to just watch him work. I hope that, in the future, I can be as calm and composed as he is.

How is your success with women? Does fame help?

Women had already noticed me before my film career. (Laughs.) I’m trying to not only depend on my looks, even though that would be easier. But principally, I prefer being the hunter to being the hunted. I do have my pride – I still believe that I could melt many a female heart with my wonderful personality and my eloquent conversation. (Laughs.)
