Teaching Ben Barnes Gen-Z Slang!

Most of you know Ben Barnes as the dastardly Logan from HBO's "Westworld" or the dastardly General Kirigan from Netflix's "Shadow and Bone", but what you might not know is that Ben Barnes is also (a) extremely charming IRL and (b) a budding singer-songwriter! On the eve of the release of his much-anticipated debut EP, 'Songs For You', Young Hollywood catches up with Ben via Zoom to find out more about this album and in particular the inspiration behind its leading single "11:11"! We also play a game of "This or That" to find out whether he prefers staying in or going out, music or acting, and more, plus we teach him some Gen-Z slang that he can use to impress his younger "Shadow and Bone" co-stars! 'Songs For You' is now available to purchase and stream!

[@Manmade023]

He's 40 but he looks like 20 Unreal!

[@florinaradu3766]

Those Dorian Gray genes 🙈🙈🙈

[@kellydriscoll4382]

He looks 19 when he shaves!

[@elladickson586]

still baffles me to believe he's older than Adam Driver

[@mariaenciso3129]

26

[@brescrafting189]

He’s the real Dorian Gray 😩

[@lauraalmeida9842]

"my shadow and bone kids" and "what's wrong with the word yes" are the best part of this! ❤️

[@mcnoneya]

I’m 30 and I’m learning slang here I’ve been to lazy to look up. Actually I’ll be 31 Tomorrow

[@avantideshpande4466]

“But what's wrong with yes?”please I'm crying he's so adorable, don't stress him

[@abby.b7428]

The moment I read Gen-Z slang I knew my generation was about to get embarrassed 🙈

[@StephanieMitchell8246]

Right. I didn’t know that “No Cap” term.

[@luferreira8928]

I'm a millennial and I'm SO used to being the "young generation", it's been so weird in these last few years to hear slang that is so completely foreign and alien to me and be like "yep, so that's how my parents felt, probably" lol

[@SmartWater88]

Facts

[@brendadotter4433]

As a long-time teacher, I've enjoyed hearing how teenage slang changes *constantly*! And then words & phrases come back around through the decades. 😆😆

[@deb.almoli]

@@StephanieMitchell8246 I guess it depends the area you're from. Im from New York and "no cap" is a super popular term here

[@xskywlkerx1076]

he’s so wise and well spoken. it makes him really fascinating and interesting to listen to

[@knightstour61]

Bloody hell, he is British!

[@caitstake4872]

The way I've had a crush on Ben for more than half my life 😌🤌 he is so well spoken and talented 👏

[@joshuamunoze]

same here!

[@Mollyplaster]

YES SAME

[@maguna4569]

a crush?? madam, i couldn't agree more

[@Xo_sunnyyy_Xo]

Well spoken😌 I couldn't agree more 🤗💗

[@michaelagrady1496]

Same its been over 10 years and im still crushing on him

[@Elena-dz2cd]

11:48 Ben calling his shadow and bone castmates his “kids” is the sweetest thing 😭😭

[@ceciliagarcia9819]

he's not boring, he's just husband material.

[@thesuns_astar]

"no that really happened, all lowercase"😭😭ben i love you

[@Solitudeperson]

Ben is type of man that Im looking for. It's so hard to find s.o as Ben in this life cuz he's so rare

[@aria-xw8ce]

ok i was kind of getting over my ben barnes phase but this brought my ass back

[@charitycardinal8018]

No one ever gets over their Ben Barnes phase, just accept it 🙃

[@jynniferspencer861]

He’s so adorable 🥰 when she tried to explain slang to him. Thank God he’s too brilliant to fall for that!

[@abbycunningham.03]

his little studders are so adorable, I love them

[@ria7470]

The “Wake up early and then sleep in” was 💯

[@IsabelS_Fuyu]

Ben Barnes such an underrated talent!! And he's so humble and gorgeous to boot too 😩

[@thetargaryenbride]

Most of the actors who skyrocket when it comes to fame and money are usually controlled by the "Industry" so him being famous and successful but not on a super large scale means he is safe and free and that makes me happy and relieved

[@kanyapou]

Ben, he is a good actor and singer. I wish him good luck and prosperous life through out his career. He does look better with age....especially with beard.

[@Esterferreiradecastro]

Boy am i jealous of that girl dancing in the kitchen that has a special place on bens memory

[@parkrina303]

I really don't care that he is basically double my age, I love him too much and the more I watch the stronger it gets. Still remember watching Narnia as a kid and adoring his character which has only increased and extended to him as an actor and person as the years went by.

[@torranceishikawa3379]

"don't cancel me!" ADORABLE

[@Camille-iv8lo]

Ben Barnes is a great actor all lowercase letters

[@tanyalarose8907]

He is a sweet boy (I can call him that because I'm old enough to be his mom) with an old soul. I've been a fan for years.

[@joshuamunoze]

i love this guy so much he is so humble, handsome and funny he is just perfect! cant wait for my signed EP to arrive.

[@mansinegi783]

"Oh! It's 11:11!! (Shut eyes)" ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ he is unreal, thankyou for being born Ben, lots of love from India❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.

[@asax3601]

Just the way he sometimes struggles to say something and the way he just says things :)) this gives me comfort lol

[@luferreira8928]

'My fellow Shadow and Bone KIDS' lol that's so cute! Edit to add that I just realized I'm less than 2 years older than Jessie, so basically almost the same age and... I'M NOT A KID, BENJAMIN! LOL

[@MiB4]

Sir! Madam! Lol that was the best. Great interview!

[@axmxn9290]

"no that really happened all lower case" 😂😂😂

[@thyop89]

Wow, the meaning of 11:11 is one of the most wholesome things I have ever heard. Protect Ben Barnes at all costs.

[@laviniasnow4494]

Ben is so relatable when it comes to gen-z terminology, I mean slang. 😅 Actually, he is wholesome!

[@florinaradu3766]

This was the most adorable interview EVER! 🥰🥰🥰 Ben is such a sweetheart! 😍😍😍

[@setykh4681]

All I have to say is that "this man is the most wonderful and beautiful man in the world "

[@huh4206]

[@vx1028]

her laughing in his face when he's trying to grasp "cap"😭

[@FreyrNordisk]

The most beautiful man in the world, beautiful inside and out.

[@introducealittleanarchy]

My mans wearing black again: true darkling colors...

[@IsabelS_Fuyu]

Lol I love how he like just straight up referred to his shadow and bone castmates as his "kids" 😂

[@ceciliagarcia9819]

him: "I'm gonna go rage" me: you're doing amazing sweetie

[@kakmonstretgustafsson1940]

His 11.11 made me SO HAPPY. Like Michael Bublé happy - Haven't met you yet (My fave song).

[@UNDeR_-rb1hu]

Ben really is my daily dose of happiness.

[@academyawardwinningactress]

[@Mizutsuki_04]

[@vlmerkiel]

Why does he have to be so adorable? 🤣

[@thedanishgir1]

Aww, he is so genuine 🥺

[@calanthe156]

[@MiniT327]

I just love this man 🤩

[@beautydanger]

I know the feeling of showing my age! My best friend is gen z, and I’m at the end of gen x so that’s what I identify with the most. I’m always referencing songs and movies and slang and other pop culture from when I was young, and get a blank stare. I have a sense of humor about myself and just laugh it off!

[@tasha375]

✨Sirius✨

[@caradownes3246]

Haha yesssssss

[@abhiramiramachandran929]

Look at his smile cutiepie 😍🥰

[@XanStephP]

I'm so glad I got to recommend the movie Killing Bono to my new favourite coworker because he recommended Shadow and Bone to me. I don't know if many people have seen it but it's one of my favourites with the brilliant Ben Barns giving us the euphoric track "Where We Want to Be"!

[@sharon-bk9xx]

he's such a cutie awwwwwwwww

[@lindapark7338]

I know that this might sound a bit offensive but he's so cute when trying hard to sound younger😂💯😍

[@spicycatsandthings]

Ben Barnes does have a million dollars right now.

[@mrymtcht1321]

Shadow and bone kids 🤭🤭🤭

[@GGJiaJia]

Ben Barnes can get it. A ring. 😂

[@gayathriponnalagan7955]

The 6 dislikes are literally Mal, Alina, Kaz, Inej, Zoya and Jesper!

[@Finnickzfilms]

tell Ben not to worry cuz Im literally 16 and I understand half of the english slang of my generation

[@silverrose9172]

I can't believe his 40, Man it's like it was yesterday when i watched Narnia and he was just a teenager 😭 i feel so old, I'm only 25 i am old...... Dude he is the real Dorian Gray the man does not age * * if he says he's 40 one more time, I'll slap him so hard he'd feel he's 40 😂

[@jyu6977]
