tashie | t-2 days until COUNTING DOWN WITH YOU (@tashiebhuiyan) February 26, 2021 Many of us who grew up in the ’00s will remember Mr Ben Barnes from his formative role as the titular Prince Caspian in The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. I say formative because it was very formative for me to leave the cinema after seeing the film in 2008 knowing that, actually, I was attracted to men. Especially, when that man was Ben Barnes. For those of you who perhaps didn’t spend the last 13 years pining over Ben Barnes’ screen roles, Barnes found his complexly-sexy-villain-adjacent niche long ago when he played Dorian Gray in the 2009 film, ....
Illustration by Andrea Ventura. Evelyn Waugh liked to tease Graham Greene by remarking that it was a good thing God exists, because otherwise Greene would be a Laurel without Hardy. It is a mark in Greene’s favor that he recounts the jibe in a tribute to Waugh written shortly after his friend’s death in 1966.

Shadow and Bone spoilers follow. Ben Barnes is no stranger to fantasy. Early on in his career, the London-born star made his film debut in Neil Gaiman s Stardust, and that was soon followed by a breakout role in the Looking back, it s easy to see why Ben was cast as Prince Caspian. His baby-faced features were a perfect fit for one of fantasy s most traditional and wholesome heroes. It just made sense. But ever since then, Barnes has sought roles that are more than just skin-deep. Back in 2009, Ben took a quick break from Narnia to film Dorian Gray, a film all about the darkness that can lurk behind even the most beautiful of faces. In the years that followed, Barnes has forged an entire career playing characters like this, subverting his good looks to beguile audiences with something far more twisted than you might expect from such a classically handsome performer. ....
