'Shadow and Bone' Star Ben Barnes starts his days with a big breakfast, including baked beans, his family's secret scrambled egg recipe, and macadamia milk in his coffee.
Breakfasts and dinners are this actor's go-to meals because he learned that eating a big lunch on set doesn't mix well with filming action scenes.
Watch along to see why Ben Barnes doesn't like Cheesecake Factory and if he prefers savory or sweet on this episode of 'Food Diaries.'

"I feel powerless to the crisp." Truer words have never been said 😂😂😂

[@LarissaFay]

I feel like this is the best description of what I go through with my cravings. 🤣💖

[@sakshibhattacharya3087]

hi! QUESTION im sorry but im kinda struggling with this new youtube view? (i hate it) and i haven't figured out how to comment on that so if you have any idea..

[@emieleode]

The most relatable 'what I eat in a day video' I've watched so far. We basically eat the same stuff and yes to the meal planning. Been a fan of Ben since Chronicles of Narnia.

[@itsautomaticfaegirl]

sameee

[@alexabeachy1929]

Sameee

Rightt and I usually hate these

i also really like how he talked about not being allowed cereal and now he loves it. i just think its great that he isnt engulfed in diet culture.

[@horvatheszter8138]

Just wanted tó comment the same 😮 so those are called jaffa cakes😮 we have a completely different name for them 😊

Well I think there's a big difference between sugary cereals and the "simple" ones ? Still very full of sugar but I guess the difference is quite big anyway

Omg his mom slips in his fave biscuits and snacks in his suitcase SO ADORABLE 😭😭

[@sofiadiazbuezo]

As a future dietitian nutritionist, I am so PROUD to finally see someone be so relatable when it comes to “what I eat in a day”. The variety of the foods and he is a great example of all foods fit in your eating habits!! 👏🏽👏🏽 thank you Ben Barnes!!

[@rickytheunicorn]

I could listen to him talking about food all day 😍

I could listen to him talk about anything, even the grocery shopping list LOL

[@seabreeze4559]

pretty sure he's MGTOW, never married and like 40+..... source: I'm from the same place in England and actually pretty sure we're related. Either way I've heard he's happy single pringle. My great-grandad's name is Barnes or something and I'm pretty sure that's his grandad. Might be another Barnes in the same location but what are the odds? He used to be big on Sunday Roasts I heard so I think there's an exception to the beef thing. We're all quite mad on gravy and something called a Yorkshire.

[@abbeyBominable123]

@@seabreeze4559 what? the only explanation for him being single is that he's MGTOW? There's many other explanations.

Watching Ben Barnes and syrup dripping from pancakes at the same time was a... euphoric experience! For a second I forgot all my worries and felt absolute bliss! Whoever edited this video, THANK YOU!

[@grayrachelle]

😄 Euphoric is right. So many parts of my brain are lighting up right now😌.

[@susannecoolkidsgerman7989]

I had the same thoughts and I really appreciate it when an interview or whatshallmacallit is made so well, tastefully and even inspirationally. My worries are coming back though. I have to go watch something else ;)

[@deliciouslyme6206]

He’s so adorable! I saw him in a q&a at Comic-Con one year but didn’t ask a question ! Ok, now I’m hungry I feel like a pizza and apple pie both at the same time 🤣🤣 🍕 🥧

[@HarpersBazaar]

Love it!

Yeah we need one. I would cook with him 😂❤

[@ericakang]

Whenever British people say they drink x many cups of tea, it makes me so happy and warm. It is so relatable as my Korean culture also does the same thing. I also know it's due to all the wonderful memories I have associated with tea and the conversations I shared my with friends.

[@marialynova6316]

Hahaha I will have 4 English breakfast teas in a day an earl grey at night and sometimes a sleepy tea as ben called it - I'm so British...also I don't drink coffee anymore hahahaha

what a sweetheart! i could listen to him talk all day

This man is an AMAZING actor. Seriously. The real him is so, SO different from his Shadow and Bone character.

I can listen to him talk for hrs. Been a huge fan of Ben for a long time. Underrated actor

[@ishaanig6578]

[@gorgeousthingsmx]

I WAS SMILING THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE VIDEO 😋 Ben talking is so entertaining 🥰

[@megancheang7858]

Ben is so sweet. Love the acting tip to never eat a big lunch before an action scene.

His ole fine self. Him playing Billy in the punisher solidified it for me. 😮‍💨 did I say that man is fine as hell??

*General Kirigan* - Slaughters innocents *Ben Barnes* - Yeah, I don't eat red meat cause cows like to listen to music

[@hmoradi-vr3ur]

favorite actor. His performance in "The words" was outstanding.

[@varshaagrawal5617]

He's so real for saying we tend to associate take out or going out as a part of reward system!

[@elenahoser7641]

Actually loved all the little details, and relate so much to the 'love eating mote than I love cooking'

[@6RshEuH2]

why is Ben so relatable?! 😭 i also have a bad habit of wanting to eat while watching tv.

[@leqxalos1571]

This is literally the most relatable one of these. He's so cute!!!!!!🥺🥺🥺

[@thinagarrett]

I see a lot of similarities between he and myself food-wise, forgetting lunch is so easy and having one particular food item get into your head until you get it and eat it is something I never knew anyone else would understand if it isn’t normal.

[@biancapires8222]

how do you not love himmm! he's adorable!

[@sunnni_]

I have no clue why I am smiling so hard watching this lol but Ben Barnes is so cute. This is such a normal and laid back eat in the day that I've seen. I love restaurants with friends or alone, adventures start best alone lol

[@grayrachelle]

I have zero problems eating alone in a restaurant. Less chance of distraction from the food.

[@badobsession28]

Love this food diary! So relatable! And I'm not British but I have always loved Jaffa cakes. And my favourite at a horse barn was called Jaffa sadly she passed away over 10 years ago, but the Jaffa cakes will always remind me of her and always be special to me. They're so nostalgic to me too. ❤

[@jennifermccarville1016]

"Cheesecake factory is a nightmare for me." Has to be one of the most relatable things I've ever heard. (I love the food but good God the menu is endless.)

[@loulftv]

He was incredible in Shadow and Bone ❤

[@marlenesheffield8777]

😳😍❤️ Ben is super talented and wonderfully handsome; he is aging like a fine Malbec. Love his laugh and sense of humor. Simply delightful. My fan wish is that he be added to the cast of "Miss Scarlett and The Duke" and he pursues Miss Scarlett with exuberance -- to make The Duke jealous as heck!!!🤣

Probably the only what I eat in a day video on KZbin I have watched multiple times because of this man ..🤦‍♀️

[@wolfgangamadeusmozart8177]

"I prefer eating to cooking." He is just like me in that regard. People always say they enjoy baking and cooking but it gets me tired because it takes a while to prepare especially when you're busy. Eating is the best. 😁

[@Ru136]

I feel ya! Especially when you live in the godawful tropics like I do and unless you have a very well-ventilated kitchen, stepping anywhere near a stove is going to leave you pouring with sweat

Love the laugh after, "Is this too much detail?"

[@jordansmith7317]

I like how he makes a conscious effort to give himself healthy options,, and then if he's feeling like he needs apple pie or pizza he'll eat it, but he doesn't feel bad about it cuz he was just listening to his body ;) healthy food relationship right there innit

[@ellygracebelly]

"I don't eat candy." Harpers Bazaar puts candy as the thumbnail

[@aenirrinea523]

It's great that he's transparent about eating healthy instead of trying to be relatable. Shows that he actually put in the effort to maintain his looks (warm water first thing in the morning helps activate your organs and maintain your skin's youth). Some Hollywood actors and actresses alike often try to appear 'relatable' by saying "oh I drink like five cups of coffee a day cuz I breathe coffee' or 'I love junk food. You only live once lol' and make it seems like they wake up gorgeous when they obviously follow a strict diet.

Every day I watch a new interview of Ben Barnes and realise he is more and more perfect for me

[@-ihhssan-9062]

These are really interesting to watch to see how much different but then how much similar we can be culturally toward food. This was actually pretty relatable compared to most actors who are deep into diet culture. Apart from one or two comments (pasta at night etc...) that my former ED brain caught on, I felt as if he was describing my regular day of eating and drinking (eerie how it felt like me: coffee and non dairy milk in the morning, sleep drink/infusion at night, and then so much tea in between😍). I love how laid back and fun he is in every interview, he seems really genuinely nice, he is giving Keanu Reeves vibes a lot.

[@aufsandgebaut]
