"Do you wanna be Dorian Gray?" "Yes please" And that was all! :)

[@Kat-gp6gj]

He's so gorgeous I almost fainted!! He makes the perfect Dorian Gray!!

[@Mymoon_laaaaaaaaaadiiieeesss]

Yes!

[@belllamycampbell4678]

And a perfect Sirius Black

[@yussidahat4781]

I've read the novel and found out that Dorian Gray was a man with golden locks, blue eyes. I'm glad the movie didn't make Ben to be blonde one. I don't mean being racist one but, I've seen the edited picture of Ben Barnes being blonde and I decided that I don't really like it. I mean, you know, Ben being blonde was the strange thing.

[@ImiiNotOkay25]

"and i said 'yes, please' " xD n'awwww, he's so beautiful!

[@Sarahthickums]

"do you want to be Dorian Grey ?? yes please.LoL

[@KLeigh-ts2ih]

I'm watching Dorian Gray right now. I don't believe I'd ever seen a movie with Ben Barnes in it. He's incredibly good looking.

[@clarissareichling430]

You're right.

[@himishl]

Not only is he beautiful, but he's also intelligent. Listen to the way he describes the book. He's perfect, haha

[@christinedavies6400]

himishl he graduated with a degree in drama and literature

[@l.plantagenet]

@@christinedavies6400 and a degree in English literature.

[@brendadotter4433]

I have to add that one of the areas Ben Barnes studied at university was . . . children's literature. You're welcome! 🌄🖤🌄🖤🌄🖤🌄🖤🌄

[@Smiley123sm]

Ben is a dream come true.... I feel so devastated now that I've seen he's also smart and funny. Usually you expect something must be wrong and...it isn't. He's perfect.:) How am I ever going to find a guy like him? :(

[@user-qe4ob6er1r]

That’s what I said I’m 6th Grade.😂❤

[@marseillesdefrance]

There are many Dorian Gray movies but the only Dorian Gray movie that I like best is the one with Ben Barnes, Dorian Gray 2010 movie, the story and character suits well with Ben Barnes.

[@Mymoon_laaaaaaaaaadiiieeesss]

Yes true

[@adqueen2548]

Ben is super sweet and cute. And there is Dorian. I made my mum (who loves O.Wilde) watch the movie and when it started she went "Oh, that's Caspian!" and when the decadent part started she went "Where did Caspian go?" I died laughing.

[@Rimwood]

Lol. Oh, Ben. ♡ "You expect to walk in your trailor and see your costume hanging up. And there was nothing hanging up!" You just made my day. Loved him as Dorian. ♡ "There are worse places to be on a Monday morning."

[@fatimaahmed6127]

very beautiful man

[@keylimeviva]

When he talked about the book's subtleties and such, he sounded almost exactly like my english teacher. But, OH, was it different.....

[@yahraever]

he was abscolutely amazing in that part and really deserves an oscar.the movie is perfect. he was such a good actor in that movie. he did an amazing job,and now i saw it,i think that it is one of the best movie we can see actually. congratulations to him,he deserves it.

[@chrysta77]

He is unbelievably gorgeous...... hee hee I love him so much!

[@skyguy696]

I love Ben! I'm actually watching Dorian Gray tonight.

[@joyrosenginya310]

They couldn't have found a better man to act as Dorian.so handsome 😎😎

[@justinwillingale2086]

He also plays the punishes best friend

[@maifonseca]

and i said:" yes please" sooo cuteeeeee

[@LotusHue]

Ben totally captured my heart in Dorian Gray!

[@ivyfairyines]

2:10 he is blushing

[@AngelaEAwesome]

I was sad that they didn't stick closer to the original story, but Ben Barnes made a good Dorian. I was impressed.

[@yussidahat4781]

Well I saw the edited picture of Ben being blonde and I was like, oh no I don't really like it. I don't mean to be the racist one but, you know, blonde Ben Barnes is strange thing

[@anotheranomalie]

1:03 - affect, not effect. AGH bad spelling really annoys me! But yeah, my favourite book of all time, as a film, with Ben Barnes as Dorian was already made of win. But hearing him actually discuss the book (and saying Faustian) just made me fall in love with him...

[@headbangerbunny]

He did such an excellant job in the movie. He is a talented actor and very hot as well.

[@ellanoranayru]

my favourite novel ever, i think he did it justice:)

[@anushkagupta3897]

Eye Candy

[@isaystat]

Ben Barnes fit for Christian GREY of 50 shades!!!

[@linafelina]

was he talking, i cant tell, i got lost in his eyes and his smile

[@carlacolon2081]

His stories on how he gets the parts its always so cool and funny 😂.

[@drsaimagillani6318]

And now someone please cast him in count of Monte Cristo ....

[@patkacrazy]

thank you..the information you gave was indeed very helpfull...i look forward to reading the book...

[@dumblewhoree]

Such a gorgeous, eloquent man 😍😚.

[@Method2thaMadness]

he said "do you wanna be dorian gray?" and i said "yes please" hes so adorable...and smart...and jus SHEXAYYY!!!

[@Immaborednow]

It bugs me that he has better hair then I do ahaha

[@heartrose4]

"yes, please" :D

[@melindalamar188]

I was totally mesmerized!!!!

[@heatherdumas]

@furaskin True, but I'm still not complaining. He is beyond gorgeous just the way he is!

[@KariVader]

the book its amazing and i love it (my favorite), before to se the the movie i tought that will be bored but I LOVE THE MOVIE..!

[@CRYST2SHELL]

@aysecullen um, perving Ben Barnes here. I've never watched Drorian Gray but I will track this movie down and obsess over it.

[@ravensuichiro03]

i love him.

[@Emilyy306]

I wish I could have read the book before watching the movie.. Hmm. It bothers me to read the book AFTER I see the movie.. Oh well :3 He was so amazing in this movie, my god... I watched it last night and fell in love with it!

[@tibbygreene]

So we came looking for him to be Dorian Gray. Ben Barnes has something to be proud of, he took up the challenge and gave a humanity to Dorian Gray that he doesn't have in the book. Everything he says is interesting, the Monday morning anecdote with this embarrassed side. Ben Barnes is exceptional. On est donc venu le chercher pour être Dorian Gray. Ben Barnes a de quoi être fier, il a relevé le challenge et donné une humanité à Dorian Gray qu'il n'a pas dans le livre. Tout ce qu'il dit est intéressant, l'anecdote du lundi matin avec ce côté gêné. Ben Barnes est exceptionnel.

[@MsFreakingLame]

@furaskin well, im happy Ben got the role :) And the most important thing was that Dorian was incredebly beautiful, which i think Ben is :)

[@pluto4847]

@anotheranomalie I get the two mixed up now. I'm American, but I did live in Britain for eight years. So now that I'm back in the USA I prefer the british spelling.

[@nienawidzeloginu]

Too perfect. What secrets is he hiding?

[@maryrose710]

@19horsecrazy it's a good film..you'll get hooked to it until the very end

[@maryrose710]

he is really sexy! hahaha.. i love Ben Barnes..he acts sooo well and he's soooo handsome!

[@annise77]

I think im in love

[@toni-qz2tl]

*cries*

[@TheKatie1930]

ı Love You Ben Barnes

[@mahshad11]

LOL WHEN HES TALKING ABOUT THE SCENE HES BLUSHING Hahaha o_o

[@majosefalopz]

ooooh, fucking lucky Rachel Hurd-Wood!!!!!

[@tanzeelmahmood5000]

Give him a Wolverine role 😍

[@LoriTadey7]

@anotheranomalie Favourite is the Canadian spelling, as well !

[@elleoneiram]

@sunshineonme0126 Hah! I've noticed in several interviews how he mentions having read the book earlier and thought it would be a good film.

[@patkacrazy]

heey can someone tell me who acctually curses dorian..i mean...henry is his coach and he teaches him basiclly everything about being a player loving sex, drugs and alchohol and then suddenly this curse, i stayed with the illusion that henry put the curse on dorian but apperently i'm wrong, could someone explain.!!!plz thnks

[@walkiewawtmire627]

How can there be not a single story in the history of movies, tv and literature about an individual who is chronologically circa 35 or 36 who still looks 12 or 13? I know I saw such a tale on black-and-white tv in the 1950s or 1960s wherein three guys in their mid-to-upper thirties are home for a reunion and take a walk to the old park where they see some youngsters playing basketball, just as they used to do. One of them says: "One of those kids looks just like Johnny Langston--hey that is Johnny Langston." And so on. Yet no one else can confirm such an episode. Help is needed, hugely, majorly, bigly. And it was not on Twilight Zone, A. Hitchcock and a bunch of the other programs of the day--but it was on something! Help!!

[@jazzyboo9991]

lol ben 'to cover your modesty" lol!

[@KiraFemme]

I think he could play professor Gabriel Emerson of Gabriel's Inferno

[@billgirl007]

i don't get why he's embarrassed about the nude scenes, i mean he got absolutely nothing to hide!

[@lindagrant2135]

Watched it last night. Ben Barnes is beautiful as both the innocent gent and the sexual predator. It was good to see him redeem himself in the end.

[@SaxyFlute87]

@MUSICimmortalmelody I knew i wasn't the only one who noticed that. He's has beautiful everything though

[@BeautifulXDreamer94]

Ben Barnes looks so much like a friend of mine, it's scary. :P

[@nancywidagdo]

I think he's up to play the role of christian grey

[@creepyivy]

@anotheranomalie Really? I did not know that.

[@elizabethbennett101]

he curses himself in a way purely so that he never gets old or age in any way. He doesn't mean for it to be a curse but it ends up that way because of how he exploits it.

[@ditt0nee]

damn rachel... damnn rachel!!..

[@xiaural2]

@aysecullen totally!!!

[@BeautifulXDreamer94]

@MAXIII2211 Ah, but he's taken.

[@anotheranomalie]

@creepyivy I'm British; I'm spelling favourite the British way. Favorite is the American spelling.

[@Anna.Maria.B.]

& the Canadian way as well :)

[@firebreathingb1tchqueen]

[@curveyprincessmaya]

[@BForsythe]

[@steelsheen]

Ben: "There are worse places to be on a Monday morning" lol! too true! but then not everybody strips naked in front of a pretty lady and a gaggle of film crew on a monday morning either Ben ;-)

[@Noodlemonkey7]
