[@kath09is]

The hopeless romantic thing and eye contact aversion is soooo INFP!!!! Reminds me of me...

[@luferreira8928]

The bit where he says he doesn't wanna be 80 and look back regretting not having spent time/effort/money on stuff he really loves resonated so much with me, it literally made me cry. That's so so much where I'm at as well, planning on finally doing things I know I'll regret later if I don't... His journey with music these last few months has been quite inspiring for people (like me) finally deciding to chase their dreams before it's too late

[@luferreira8928]

[WARNING: Grisha trilogy spoiler] Also, non-related but: I think the line he was thinking about around 21:38 is "I will strip away all that you know, all that you love, until you have no shelter but mine". It's such an iconic line!

[@TheElaiaGurialde]

Absolutely! Time is running very fast. So let's try to follow the dreams. Failing at trying is still better than than feeling regrets for not having even tried! (well, clearer in my mind XD)

[@brunachristine2932]

Lu Ferreira it’s exactly the same here! When I watched 11:11 the day it was released I could see that my life “running away”. I cried the whole night! His movement is being so inspiring for me. ❤️

[@ericakang]

It is so brave of you! Best of luck Lu with everything. Will be praying for you~

[@kels1009]

Missed Ben Barnes. Finally an interview with no thumb down. He has a warm charming voice. Look forward to hearing from his music endeavours.

[@theprpress]

Thanks for tuning in! Ben was a pleasure to speak with!

[@Han.a_Solo]

I love this man with every inch of my soul

[@argeliaayalalira130]

Chloe, you're such a good interviewer, I just love how you talk to your guests!! Congrats!!!

[@theprpress]

Thank you for the kind words! We were humbled by the opportunity to chat with Ben!

[@argeliaayalalira130]

Believe me when I say that he chose you for a reason, he knows better

[@ayodstudio]

Im smile when he smiles, why? 😊

[@TheElaiaGurialde]

Everyone feeling very passionate for an artistic activity can relate! "It is my passion, but I can't make a living with my art. Whatever. I will share it anyway, so I can die with no regret". Yep, I definitely relate to this. But it is really strange to hear it from a such succesfull actor!

[@IsuriniSirisena23]

Love him so much!💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@allison3852]

Did you Anna popple well and William too isurini sirisena I wish skandar or gerogie had one or will p

[@tiredestbean]

I think this is my new favourite interview... I'm really looking forward to hearing Ben's new music and seeing all of his future endeavours :)

[@theprpress]

Ben is always so busy (but staying creative)! Thanks for watching our interview!

[@naporto]

Okay but where's part 2? Chloe is such an amazing interviewer and knows how to ask you the right question and Ben is so humble and such an incredible person makes me wanna hear both you of talking for one hour!

[@theprpress]

Thanks for the kind words! We hope there's a part 2, we'd be humbled to chat with Ben once again!

[@sunnyascension897]

Dearest Ben, you sound so spiritually attuned for someone who states they are not. We are 8 Billion people living on a ball - spinning and floating through space. Science knows very little compared to the complexities of existence. Our tiny human minds are likely not capable of understanding everything. Someone once told me “be open to everything. Allow different forms of love and information to enter our hearts and minds (even if we don’t understand), it may help us in hidden ways.” We are all trying to be happy in a life process whereby we only understand a fraction. Spread the ❤️. You are bright and brilliant. I am grateful for you🌻

[@melissaproulx6955]

[@dianac6873]

Estoy tan orgullosa de Ben, de que al fin esté logrando su sueño (aunque él puede hacer lo que quiera, porque es talentoso en cualquier cosa) pero sus canciones están llenas de sentimiento, con letras sublimes y una voz increíble💖 Ah y cuanto amo su acento🥰

[@kimi12bombon]

Lovely!!

[@evdokiyaelagina6495]

Ben’s words just inspired me to write this: ‘English is not my first language so forgive the imperfections’ the way the words are able to express the feelings when something moves inside and letters marry sounds the way destruction generates the healings and perfect melody and lyrics is abounds from nothing there’s an explicit reflection of someone’s stealthy sense and aspirations expressed in marvelous and delicate affection between the notes and syllables relations the way this fusion resonates the other’s thoughts and makes the crossing in range between despair and blind expectance inspires to construct to soothe the tossing and help to find the calmness and acceptance the power of salubrious potential that songs reveal amaze and integrate diseased and lonely souls and it’s essential to find right words and sounds to create
