Интервью Бена журналу Premiere. Переводить не стала, т.к. язык довольно-таки примитивный, а вообще, бедный Бен, на какую же фигню ему приходится отвечать, и ведь умудряется ещё делать это с юмором.
Prince Caspian: Is he ready to reign?
Ben Barnes, previously unknown English actor before now, holds the title role in the second chapter of the World of Narnia. But is he really ready to become a megastar?
PREMIÈRE: Ben, are you ready to join the church of Scientology or to study Kabbalah?
Ben Barnes: Mmm…no. Definitely not. Scientology scares me. But if it allows you to have a wife like Katie Holmes, I can understand why some find arguments about it. Not me.
PREMIÈRE: Are you ready to go out with Scarlett Johansson?
Ben Barnes: Only her or are you giving me the choice between all the young actresses? Because I’m ready to attend to some fully.
PREMIÈRE: Even an Olsen twin?
Ben Barnes: No. It must be weird to go out with one Olsen twin, no? Imagine, if you confuse one with the other?
PREMIÈRE: Are you ready to get married in Las Vegas and to get your marriage annulled the following day?
читать дальшеBen Barnes: I have never been to Vegas, but I would love to. I would wait until the film becomes better received there. I’m not too concerned with whom I can marry on the spot, unfortunately. I know what can be done to spice things up: a big competition called “Marry the Prince of Las Vegas.”
PREMIÈRE: Then you’ll be able to bring along your princess to a Celine Dion concert.
Ben Barnes: Magical.
PREMIÈRE: Are you ready to be mysteriously hospitalized for “exhaustion?”
Ben Barnes: I could have done it today (Ben is very sick.) But I see what you want to say: to hospitalize myself for exhaustion and then leave the hospital with a bigger chest, right? (Laughs) It often happens to some English stars, like magic.
PREMIÈRE: Are you ready to go to the club without under-garments?
Ben Barnes: But that’s already the case. I am not the only one?
PREMIÈRE: Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears…
Ben Barnes: I’ve already done it, in any case.(боже, покажите мне это )
PREMIÈRE: But you don’t wear a skirt?
Ben Barnes: No. I do not yet feel ready to go clubbing wearing a skirt.
PREMIÈRE: Would you be a good step-father for Bruce Willis’ daughters?
Ben Barnes: Bruce Willis has daughters?
PREMIÈRE: Apparently: Rumer Glenn, Scout La Rue, Tallulah Belle…
Ben Barnes: What unbelievable names! They must probably be the same age as me then. Wait…you want to say that I would be with Demi Moore? Then yes.
PREMIÈRE: Are you ready to sacrifice yourself to prevent an asteroid from destroying Earth?
Ben Barnes: Someone else can be in charge of that, perhaps? (ага, на героизм его не тянет)
PREMIÈRE: Bruce Willis?
Ben Barnes: For example. His career has lasted longer than mine has. He has much more things than me to offer.
PREMIÈRE: Are you ready do to leaps on Oprah Winfrey’s couch?
Ben Barnes: It’s too early for that. On the other hand, I would prefer to have a good sleep on her couch. It seems comfortable. She can tell me a story or sing me a nursery rhyme.
PREMIÈRE: Are you ready to invent a mysterious past?
Ben Barnes: Like to be raised by wolfs in the desert? Veracious!
