Ben Barnes, Part V

Quite flat ass.

And scrawny biceps.

Didn't he lock lips with another guy in "The Picture of Dorian Gray"?

Yes, R2.

Ben kissed Max Irons.

You’d do him in a minute R1 don’t lie

R4 I'd do him in 20 minutes but I won't be keeping him because I know he'll start getting flabby below the neck and his face will start look like a pudding soon.

Oh dear he’s manorexic don’t you know?

Ben's naturally thin, but I do think he's veering into manorexic territory lately.

So did we confirm whether he is actually bisexual, or is it a DL fantasy?

Ben’s personal life is so boring, we can barely confirm that he’s alive.

He's cute and tall and has great hair, but that ass is as suboptimal as they come. Probably the worst celebrity ass I've ever seen here on DL. And also proof that he's totally straight because that's an ass of someone who can comfortably rely on his face and height alone to pull pussy. He really is one of those people who just wake up gorgeous in the morning.

He looked better before the Hell's Kitchen makeover

I wouldn't kick cute, tall, and great hair (and nice voice) out of bed for lack of ass, R10. But I've always liked em lanky. DL needs balance from all of the roided-up Instahos. Besides, we've yet to assess the dick.

(And the header is Ben after months of working out hard for Punisher. British genes. )

R12 His trainer should've focused on his ass instead of his back so we could enjoy that scene fully, with tissues and everything.

You know, I'm watching The Punisher now and I see that my leg muscles are twice the size of Jon Bernthal's and I do yoga exclusively. So perhaps the trainer for that show just isn't a fan of lower body exercises.

I agree that it's a welcome respite from all those roided-up Instahos that all just bleed into each other at this point. And I would definitely fuck and be fucked by both of these actors (at the same time) without a second thought. But I'll leave my more detailed face-riding fantasies for the official Punisher thread.

He needs some butt implants.

The ass really is a crying shame.

I kind of love scrawny asses.

That’s one flat ass.

Yeah, it kind of looks like Half Dome at Yosemite: a sheer drop.

I guess if you’re a bottom, asses don’t really matter. It’s like me with dicks—guy says he has a small dick and I shrug cause he’s not using it on me anyway. So for bottoms Ben can have a non-existent buttock so long as his dick is big enough and stays hard.

Your thinking is too binary R19. Maybe we'd rather suck him off.

Quote from the "forgot leg day" trainers on the show:

"We did the most work with Ben Barnes who was incredible at getting his training in," stunt coordinator Thom Williams explained. "He kept requesting extra training time. He would come in after they'd wrapped shooting at the end of a day and we'd go and work out with him just to make sure he was ready. I couldn't be prouder of what Ben accomplished and his dedication to this show."

Was Ben really looking for extra "training time," or extra time to ogle ripped guys in the gym?

Flat ass thin arms and walks like a woman. What's to like

He just wasn't consuming protein like he probably should have. I mean he looked fine, I guess. But it sounds like he was going for more.

He’s got a lean swimmers physique. He’ll never be a buff body builder. But he has muscle. Those are NOT thin arms.

[quote]Those are NOT thin arms.

R24 is the Darfur Orphan

Newsflash, R22: we aren't all you. (And we're happy about it.)

R22 guns!

He's flexing really hard and pressing his arm up against his chest to make it look bigger R26, it's a posing trick. And of course, the camera adds mass and there are no other people in the photo to give context.

I find myself in the very strange position in this thread of having to both slap sense into delusional fraus who are triggered by the merest whiff of criticism of BB, AND of having to defend him from typical cunty DL muscle queens. Listen bitches:

a. Ben IS a scrawny little fucker with thin arms and a flat ass b. There's nothing at all wrong with that c. ALL OF THE ABOVE

[quote]Besides, we've yet to assess the dick.

It would be interesting to know whether he is cut or uncut.

He's half-Jewish, but I don't think an interviewer has ever asked him his status.

Only a caftan-clad, cigarette holder-puffing interviewer from DL would be so bold as to ask BB the status of his foreskin.

Ha! Here's the reporter we need on this case.

R29, male celebrities today get asked their circ status all the time.

That flat ass is so disappointing.

You can tell he was working out. Compare his body from Westworld to Punisher, he obviously spent time in the gym. But yes, he is a lanky fellow, and of course he doesn't have a bubble butt.

He will never have a bubble butt.

We just have to accept that.

What's important is that he finally showed his full ass.

In the past he has only shown partial views.

R33, a voice of reason? You must be lost.

[quote]You must be lost.

Haha, this is actually my first time ever going in these Ben Barnes threads.

Hope he will be the brave leading actor and go full frontal on Westworld. Can’t leave all the nude duties to the female stars and unknown male extras. Shame on Westworld producers for the double standard.

[quote]Shame on Westworld producers for the double standard.

I agree.

Westworld is worse than Game of Thrones.

At least GOT shows some cock.

He will probably only have a few scenes in Westworld Season 2, I'd imagine his role is largely over.

Based on the lukewarm treatment of his character's bisexuality, I wouldn't bet on a meaningful cock shot. But there' always hope, I guess.

R21 What a ridiculous article. I know it was written in jest, but still. So Kidman got her tits out on a prestige TV show but this C-lister (D-lister?) would need a butt double on a Marvel Netflix show when he's not even playing the main character? Don't make me laugh.

But seriously, people always tend to overestimate who gets to ask for a butt double.

His appearance is not flawless, but he's still kind of good looking.

But do any of our new posters have any GOSSIP about him?

R43 I've heard he swings both ways, but never heard him linked with anyone specific.

R27 We're just having a bit of a laugh at the expense of this obviously gorgeous person. Much the same as in those instaho threads.

It would be a pretty empty and boring thread if we all just commented on what a handsome 10 he is.

[quote]Based on the lukewarm treatment of his character's bisexuality

Yeah I laughed at that "bisexual orgy" scene where they made sure to put the other guy off to the side. Pretty pathetic for HBO.

HBO got a stunt ass for Kit Harrington in that one cave scene, what makes you think they wouldn't get one for Ben?

R36, Welcome! We're friendly sorts....

^ LOL! What a fabulous gif.

[quote]HBO got a stunt ass for Kit Harrington in that one cave scene, what makes you think they wouldn't get one for Ben?

I think that was an isolated incident for Kit because he was injured at the time. Kit usually does his own nudity.

No we really don’t EVER need more Ben Barnes anything.

I’m pretty sure it’s really Bens butt. His walk is quite distinctive and you can see his face profile.

R47 Kit was injured at the time and also one of the main established characters in that show, with the actor pulling in insane amounts of money for each episode.

Ben Barnes had a season-long villain arc on the first season of one of the least-anticipated Marvel Netflix shows. It really doesn't compare. I did love the show, though, and Ben was competent enough. They wrote his prettiness into the story which was pretty sweet. Because we all love to see gorgeous people get ugly by the end.

R52 Yes, it's obvious that's his ass in The Punisher; if they were going to pay for an Ass Double, they'd have hired a better ass. I meant that in the upcoming Westworld season, HBO might hire Stunt Cock or Stunt Ass. (Though I imagine that his appearance in WW season 2 will amount to Logan laid out dead on a slab somewhere.)

Ok, R51 you've stated your boundaries, now scoot.

R53 Spoil it for me: does he die at the end? I though he'd be back later with a fucked up face?

R54 No, he doesn't die but everyone in the show is pleased that his pretty face is gone. He really got the perfect punishment for a narcissist.

I meant it was poetic justice for a stone-cold murdering narcissist who tortured his mother, not that every narcissist should have their face crushed into a mirror, obviously.

He's still working?

It is lifted from the comics. Billy Russo was once a handsome assassin known as "the beaut" til he gets his face completely fucked up by Castle.

Ben addresses his DL haters

How much do you want to bet that Kevin Spacey went after Ben in London back in the early 00's?

I wonder what his relationship with Simon Fuller was? Is Fuller gay or straight?

I don't know, R61, but I've had suspicions about that as well. It'd be typical BB luck to whore himself out to old guys in the industry, but STILL not get any good roles!

He and Spacey have definitely worked with some of the same people in the past, and that's such a small world I can't imagine that they never crossed paths. Ben seems like Spacey's type.

R61 Simon Fuller is straight he is married with a woman called Natalie.

What else is Ben watching?

Happy Thanksgiving, DL!

He held on tight to that towel. I was sending thought waves trying to his hand away.

They shaved his chest but not his treasure trail. Mmmm nuzzle nuzzle

We should send a petition to Netflix about the shaved chest.

Wonder if B.B. shares his friend Chris D’elia ideals about relationships?

...then you might be on Datalounge

Funny moment you might have missed. Punisher costar Amber Rose Revah was raving on her IG about a movie and put #jamiebellfornextjamesbond in her post. B.B. wasn’t going to stand for that.

R71. Funny. It's long past time for a dapper, bisexual Bond; Craig was so dreary.

He looks so uncomfortable in OP’s clip, like he knows he has the flattest ass in the whole wide world.

BB's been flirting heavily with that woman lately, R71. Anything to it, or all just part of his contractually-obligated social media Punisher pimping game?

The video continues with Barnes pissing while showing his nice chest in the bathroom mirror. Because that's just how straight people roll.

It's deflating. And deflated.

He looks a little bit emaciated.

He's right in what he says in that video: the old studio system would have been perfect for him.

[quote]The video continues with Barnes pissing

Ben should do a real pissing scene.

R74 I don’t think there is anything between them.

R80. Yes, I Googled and found out that she's engaged to someone. Yet another female associate that Ben can pretend to flirt with for the titillation of his fangirls while safely steering clear from any kind of actual relationship! He's consistent, you have to grant him that.

TV Guide is all in for giving B.B. a publicity push. First the article investigating his butt or butt double. Now this.

[quote]while safely steering clear from any kind of actual relationship!

I wonder why he avoids relationships?

R83 we don’t really know if he avoids them or they are deeply closeted. He doesn’t do the full on beard girlfriend on red carpets at least.

R83 Because he's deeply narcissistic and he'd only ever be satisfied with his own clone?

But I suspect he's on DL, still waiting for his big break. And by DL, I mean Datalounge.

R82 The editorial staff of TV Guide is all frauen now? Who knew? (Who knew TV Guide was even still a going concern, for that matter?)

R85 wins! And he's a DL fave for fuck's sake, isn't that enough? What a selfish cunt.

This is adorable. B.B. commented “thanks Mom....I think”

I'm eagerly anticipating the end of the Punisher p.r. onslaught.

Why do three British ex-pats want to try so hard to look like American douche-bros? Someone explain

B.B. ‘s ridiculously perfect hair.

Ben is in the top 10 on IMDBs trending celebs. I bet it’s a thrill for him.

It'd be a thrill if he could score a good part in something non-comic bookish as a result.

[quote]Ben is in the top 10 on IMDBs trending celebs.

Was it Ben's naked butt that got him this attention?

Absolutely! Imagine where a cock shot would take him?

Ben is now famous enough for regurgitated content clickbait "articles"! Does this make him officially B list?

^^^ that bears more than a passing resemblance to Kevin Spacey “walking his dog” at 4 am in London years ago.

So your theory is Ben was looking for rough trade on the docks and passing it off as "character research"? I like it!

Barb Broccoli are you listening?

Who's trying to push Ben as the next Bond?

Ben has been trying to push himself as the next Bond since at least 2007!

(And I'm all for it!)

Is that why Ben doesn't want to come out?

I don't see how Bond movies can exist anymore in the current era of sensitivity to gun violence and sexual harassment of women. What else does Bond even do?

Anyway, the author of the article in R98 is London-based. Friend of Ben's or Ben's family?

R91 Barnes' Punisher costar Jaimie Ray Newman is even higher on imdb. Both clearly on their way to the A-list!

Bump

Another article talking about BB’s Butt. Also my new band name.

The Narnia kids are engaged in a Twitter war of humiliation.

Will Poulter is right about how trite and dull Ben's tweets are.

So, Alexander Zalben, the author of the ass article at 105....are you a DLer? Fess up, we know you're here.

Has Bryan Singer been found yet? He disappeared from filming the Freddie Mercury movie. It’s reminding me when B.B. had his graffiti artist friend Thrashbird paint that Freddie jacket for him. I bet he auditioned for the part wearing it.

Just saw that Singer has been sacked.

None of this has anything to do with Ben. (Other than that Ben's friend Nick Hoult was likely one of Bryan's twinks-for-hire.)

Eh. Apart from sending his IG fans into a snit by "flirting" on one of Amber Rose Riveh's videos, he's been boring this weekend.

Off topic but LMAO @ Singer claiming he has PTSD from being confronted by tiny Rami Malek

Guess he’s not used to twinks being aggressive

When is he not boring, R112? Are the fangirls truly in a snit?

He's tiny R113, but he has those big creepy bug eyes! Eek! LOL

[R114] he complimented Revah's stomach. Apparently that is wildy offensive and inappropriate. One compared him to Louis CK. Also got himself blocked by a different one who couldn't stand that he never responds to her or acknowledges the poetry she's sent him when he'll take the time to flirt with an engaged woman. Gold.

Omg! I need a link to this glorious disaster!!!

R116 here you go. Best to open in the IG app so the comments are nested, easier to follow the crazy train.

Wait. The one who started it ricksltlsister is the cancer sufferer or relative who B.B. invited onto the Punisher set for a meet and greet? And also came here on DL and lectured us about being nice to B.B.!

Oh, I love this shit!

Well that was entertaining, thanks for the tip-off. When frauen attack!

On the one hand, you have to give Ben credit for his commitment to shilling his projects to the extent that he fake-flirts with his tv love interest. That's probably why he gets work; unlike a lot of other actors, he never acts 'above' the p.r. side of the business. And the crazy poetry frau needs to take a seat -- I've seen Ben acknowledge some spectacularly awful fan art, so one shudders to think what her 'poetry' must be like.

On the other hand, serves the closeted little twit right.

Here’s a blind item from one year ago about Bryan Singer and Matthew Morrison. I mention it here because of the mention of MM’s Halloween parties and the fact that B.B. attended this year but didn’t want it mentioned anywhere it seems. Even in his good friend Jared Eng’s gossip page.

Ahh, the good ol' days....

Stumbled upon this old pic of BB with that other DL Fave, Luke Evans.

From an afterparty for a production of "Aspects of Love" directed by Trevor Nunn, who also directed BB in 'Birdsong,' and was a frequent collaborator of...

Kevin Spacey.

Polish your tinfoil hats, gurls!

I don't doubt for one second he wasn't one of Spacey's targets.

Another Singer/MM BI from R121's link: Right now, he is trying to avoid talking to anyone about those orgies he threw for the missing A list director.

And one of those blinds implies that there's a Bryan/Nick Hoult sex tape.

Posting this for the ironic title...

Hey, tools - espeically [R118] (and that goes for you female poseurs, too)...

It boggles the mind how suppositious you are. You'll post anything to feed your bored base-level existence. These threads are so old and tired that you'll resort to pure fabrication. Ben never "invited" any cancer sufferers to a meet and greet on the TP set. And that someone never engaged in this freak show, either. Anonymously and silently bullying people online with your catty comments and misinformation is cowardice.

Don't like it, don't read it, cunt. Who are we "bullying"?

[127]

Still supposing, eh, cretin?

So in other words, you actually have nothing to say and just want to be a cunt. Thought as much.

FF/Block/etc

[129] Awwww...I'm touched by your weak mind, feeble sensitivity and sentimentality.

B.B. had some meet and greet with that person because they reported it on Twitter, lauding him for his kindness but couldn’t take pics because he was in costume. They must have made it all up according to R126

I don’t think B.B. is involved. Maybe why he didn’t want his name in any of the reports about Morrison’s party.

I pray B.B. will be safe from the fires. And let us know soon.

I would give my left nut for any sex tape of Nick Hoult. His masterful portrayal of a horny-for-teacher twink in A Single Man still gets me rock hard.

And he’s really grown into an attractive man. Definitely seems to be cockier than Ben IRL lol

R132 I don't think anyone here is accusing Ben of being a sexual abuser/harrasser, but he knows these people, he runs very close to or in these circles, he almost certainly has been prey of or a willing participant with some of these types. All we're doing is pointing out the obvious: Benji isn't the wide-eyed, 100% heterosexual naïf that he presents himself as to his fangirl army.

R134 I'm with you, but please God, not with Bryan. The horror.

And damn it, I still want to know what went down on that yacht trip with (X-Men alum) Alex Gonzales!

For R134:

Nicholas Hoult shows his naked ass to Colin Firth:

R137, he’s an amateur. The hole presentation is weak.

R138 so it’s good acting then as he is playing an inexperienced schoolboy?

Isn't there a Nicholas Hoult thread for this?

It does serve to bump this thread giving us a reason to view B.B. s naked bum.

Well if you must.

Bump.

I never realized that Hoult was so tall, because Ben is quite tall himself.

Lol at Ben’s boring ass needing another celebrity to spice up his thread.

I wonder if Ben has at least eaten anything interesting this week 🤔

I dunno, I thought postulating about Ben's proximity to the Singer/Matt Morrison cadre was interesting but it got derailed.

I don't think Ben eats. He subsists on tea and cigs.

Discussion topic: Who is the top/bottom in the follwoing combos?

BB/Nicholas Hoult

BB/Julian Morris

BB/Alex Gonzales

Tell me, Datalounge!

[quote]I never realized that Hoult was so tall, because Ben is quite tall himself.

Yeah, Nicholas Hoult is very tall. He's about 6'3. Ben is about 6'1.

B.B. is the kind of guy who would seem like a bottom but he seems controlling too so maybe he’s the top. Or would be a Bossy Bottom.

Nick Hoult looks like a Bossy Bottom to me, too. Maybe the two of them just get together, argue, then storm off in a huff.

The others R145 asked about, I have no idea.

B.B. went to GQ’s Man of the Year party at Chateau Marmot last night. Will Poulter is taller too.

The Just Jared article doesn’t mention B.B. or have a pic? What is going on with those two?

R150 Jared's piece on the GQ party makes it all about James Marsden, though he still plugs BB at the end of the article.

R149 The cast of the Punisher must be exceedingly short; Ben loomed over them all.

And now every time I see or type the initials BB in here, I read it as 'Bossy Bottom.' Thanks, DL!

Asking the tough questions.

BB needs to prepare some good stock answers for those nudity questions; he'll be getting a lot more of them.

"Cut or uncut, Ben?" - The Datalounge Herald

Bump

Too bad he doesn't have a better career. He deserves it.

Obviously, he did not sleep with the right people.

I’ve read in a recent interview that he prefers to send a videotaped audition rather do it in person. Is this because he gets nervous? Is it avoiding casting couch? Does it hurt his chances in getting roles? I’d like to know what casting directors think of auditioning by video?

I haven't seen that interview. Definitely sounds like he auditioned in person for The Punisher, though.

If true, it seems counter-productive. He should use his looks and charming personality to schmooze people into giving him parts. On the other hand, maybe he doesn't want the casting people to see how veddy British and fey he is in real life and have that color their perceptions of him?

Behind scenes featurette

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Is this really? Has he ever been this buff?

Check your eyeglass prescription R161, that's not BB. Not his body, not his face.

That's Booboo Stewart

WTF is a Booboo Stewart?

He's an actor mostly known for the Twilight movies

Well this one then we know is B.B.

Delish!

I bet he's happy The Punisher got renewed. Although, I don't want to see his pretty face destroyed...

I hope the producers realize disfigured men still need hot sex and B.B. s ass and crotch are all that we really to see.

I hope Ben's career isn't 100% consumed by the Marvel machine, never to emerge. See Downey, Robert, Jr., et al.

[quote]B.B. s ass and crotch are all that we really to see.

I agree.

Ben's naked ass scene in Season 1 was a good start, but they need to show Ben naked again if they want us to support this show.

Ben seems to have quite large feet.

Large hands and feet. Long long fingers.

Since there is nothing new about B.B. to discuss, may we speculate whether this old blind is about Timberlake-Biel-Barnes during the filming of Easy Virtue? Gossip Boy was supposedly a well known actor delivering insider gossip in his spare time. Many thought it was Jake Gyllenhaal.

And yet he never has VPL in photos R173.

R174. I doubt that blind is about Biel/Timberlake/Bares for a number of reasons.

1. What would Biel have to blackmail JT about?

2. Says that BBT had a pregnant girlfriend back home. Obviously never happened to BB.

3. Was there even a sex scene in Easy Virtue, let alone a hot sex scene? If I can't remember, I'm thinking not.

4. Says that after filming, BBT went back to "the land from which he came," but Easy Virtue was filmed in London.

5. It's too bloody obvious. What blind item writer worth their salt would write a blind about Benjamin Thomas Barnes and disguise it with the code name BBT?

I can't imagine how it would fit Jakey, either.

DL’s back! I was in despair and withdrawals!

Well, BB has done absolutely nothing the entire time that DL has been down. LOL.

Maybe he did it all WHILE we were down, did you consider that R178?

HA! I did see something about fake Ben accounts sending PMs to gullible (read: dumb as a box of rocks) fangirls, so maybe Ben was hacked.

Apparently asking for money! How many fell for comely Ben Barnes asking for $20 to get him through till his next part? Lol

Dear Ben Barnes' Hacker: SEND US THE DICK PICS (and the gay porn links) from BB's phone. You will become immortal in the hallowed halls of DL.

Yes, it's definitely time that we saw BB's dick.

Closest we’ve gotten

Any guesses on whether he's cut or uncut?

He's British, but he's half Jewish.

He’s uncut in my dreams!

I hope he is cut.

His mom is Jewish, he is Jewish, so it is safe to assume he was circumcised.

B.B. got memed

[quote]His mom is Jewish, he is Jewish, so it is safe to assume he was circumcised.

Perhaps, but if Ben's Dad is uncut, he might have decided to keep Ben uncut.

R184 Photoshop

R188 Ben is not a practicing Jew. He and his family celebrate Christmas, and he's never acknowledged any Jewish holidays on social media. I don't think his family is religious at all.

Why doesn’t he do more photo shoots like this?

The question is: why don't more photographers want to do photoshoots like that with him? Is he getting too old for it? He's practically an eldergay now....

Nips

No rhythm.

Dad Dancer in the Dark

Is he doing the Funky Chicken?

More like the Drunk Englishman.

I like that he is growing his hair out even though that usually means he is not working

But he's growing his beard out to nasty lengths as well. Ironically, it looked much tidier when he played a hobo. When we will ever see the end of the beard trend?!

That video was hard to watch. How embarrassing.

B.B. isn’t the most embarrassing one up there by half.

I guess Jimmi Simpson wasn't there? Too bad.

So Ben's done with Westworld, done with Punisher (for the time being),

and now....???

*crickets*

Punisher 2 will begin filming some time.

Now that B.B. has had some success recently I noticed more Hollywood types liking and commenting on his IG posts where before they never did. Hollywood phonies in action

How long until he starts bearding?

Maybe if he ever gets cast in another big(ish) movie again.

That's what we could do: help Ben find a beard! Nominees? I'd prefer someone British.

What's Nathalie Emmanuel's relationship status? She'd be an ideal beard for BB. British, on an HBO show, not TOO famous, and a WOC since Ben likes to pose as an SJW.

It’ll be some Victoria’s Secret model, cmon

That wouldn't help his brand identity, he'll need to beard more strategically -- that's why he needs our help!

I don't think think he's famous enough to get a VS model.

R211 you weren’t here for the Rayana Ragan debacle,were you?

I think I briefly skimmed those threads, but couldn't read all the boring theories.

Which of you is out there pretending to be Ben for shits and giggles? Fess up.

Well, I wouldn’t be asking for money, I’d want dick pics. That’s my alibi.

Bare

We need to see more bare ass.

I like Ben's hands and his freakishly long and delicate fingers.

Do long fingers indicate a long cock?

In my experience yes

He deserves a better career.

Ben Whishaw is doing it better

He's beautiful and talented. Why doesn't he get better roles?

Good question R223. It's not like he's openly gay

It’s because he’s boring, and perhaps too tall for his small personality.

He can’t be that boring and have that many friends. He’s supposed to be fun to be around.

He’s just not that adept at social media

He should have stayed in England and done theater for a while instead of trying to be a big leading man in the US. Casting directors probably think he's too pretty for meaty character parts, but not macho enough for leading parts. Casting directors are imbeciles.

Or he might just have piss-poor taste.

He's boring in real life, but charismatic on screen.

Has he ever done any heavy drama (illness, drugs, broken family type stuff??) Seems like his career has mostly been fantasy/comic book fluff, light bio drama and mild action. It seems like he’s made a concious decision to stay away from heavy drama roles.

That’s fine, but it will limit him.

We have speculated that he got blackballed in the UK for ditching a National Theater production on short notice when he landed Prince Caspian.

R229. No, he really hasn't and it's unfortunate. And now that the Marvel machine has him in it's grip, he probably never will. I wouldn't assume it's a conscious decision; I think he's limited in what he's offered.

Though honestly I think he's very adept at comedy and should be given more comedic roles. He's the type of actor who would have excelled in 1930's screwball comedy stuff (with musical numbers thrown in for good measure.)

But R230, he did come back later and do a (short-lived) play in the UK a few years after. Maybe he rebuffed Kevin Spacey and got kicked out again!

R231 I think he had to do Birdsong after breaking his contract while doing History Boys. Part of a settlement deal.

That makes sense, R232. I don't blame them for shunning him; dropping out of History Boys was a boneheaded move.

Nah a role like Prince Caspian is a one in a million role that few actors get.

Has anyone met him?

R229 Actually he did, a Tv movie called: Locked In with Eliza Dushku, but a very bad movie. He has bad luck it's like he doesn't finish to excel.

R234. It probably seemed that way at the time, but if he'd only known what a leaden dud of a movie it would be....

The filmmakers were also dicks for not trying to respect his History Boys schedule.

I only watched Locked In for the sex scenes. The movie was really unwatchable and just fucking terrible. Who knows why he agreed to that shit.

[quote]I only watched Locked In for the sex scenes.

What did Ben do in the sex scenes?

Someone said in a previous thread that he chose his roles based on his characters uniqueness to what he had done before. Not based off the whole script necessarily or the director he would be working with. Also he would only take leading roles not supporting. And mentioned it wasn’t working for him. Seemed to have inside info.

Unfortunately, he didn't give us any dick or ass.

R240, that makes sense as to why his career has sucked long and hard. He seems to be doing better now that he's doing tv and supporting roles.

I don't know, I watched him in Westworld and I thought he was awful. He's no Charlie Cox. Pretty, though.

Hmmmm, bros being bros.

I thought he was really good in The Punisher.

[quote]Someone said in a previous thread that he chose his roles based on his characters uniqueness to what he had done before.

That's ridiculous. C-listers take what's offered to them; anything else is spin.

Immediately after Prince Caspian he was considered more than a c lister

Maybe B-lister, coulda been A-lister if Prince Caspian hadn't underperformed. Then he did Dorian Gray and everyone hated it and he plummeted straight down to C.

I thought he was fine in Dorian Gray. Not sure why he received such a negative reaction.

I also liked the kiss between Ben & Max Irons:

He was fine in DG, but the movie as a whole was pretty crap.

I remember a lot of hype about him for PC and DG. The next big Brit hope. Then he seemed to just fall off the radar.

Pretty sure he is uncut. I think we’d have more VPL if he weren’t sheathed.

^ keepin' the DL real!

Sounds reasonable, R251.

Guy in the background of this pic is the DL.

Whoever dresses him now should be congratulated. He’s practically wearing a tent at R253

[quote]Pretty sure he is uncut.

I'm hoping his Jewish mom got him snipped.

Until Ben wishes his social media followers a Happy Hanukkah, I'll believe he's uncut.

Yeah that is one ill-fitting suit r254. You'd think a guy like Barnes wouldn't allow himself to go out looking like that.

Look, not every gay guy is fashionable.

British = dowdy

I love him, but he has been coming off as a huge attention whore on social media lately.

Oh come on, his Love Actually spoof for Make a Wish is cute

Yeah come on! Damned if he does etc. the fan girls go nuts when he doesn’t post. Besides a lot of actors are contractually obligated to be on social media nowadays.

Someone named DJ SixSlut left this comment on B.B.s IG video for Make a Wish

“djsixslutYou fuckin hipster weirdo. You could have done that message in a regular way. Instead you waste countless boards. You abuse trees yet you want to promote this noble cause? Next time use a chalk board or an iPad and write your message there. Btw your role in punisher sucked. Stop promoting it like you're the main hero. You second class actor. Gtfo . P.s bella doesn't like you. You're looking real desperate now” Who’s Bella?

Bella Hadid? He follows her and has liked her sexy posts.

That would be my guess

If he is straight he is depressingly shallow in his female interests.

I don't think Bella follows him back. That person sounds fucking nuts and probably is pissed he didn't respond to her fanmail. Lol.

No she doesn’t follow him, lending credence to the desperate claim.

He follows Bella Heathcote? Maybe is her too.

On a scale of superficiality, from 1 to 10, he has 100.

Not following Bella H nor Bella Thorne. Is Hadid still dating the Weekend?

He's attention-whorey not so much for himself, but in a very obvious, p.r. shilling way. I agree that it is contractually obligated, but that doesn't make it any less annoying. If he had more of a balance between personal and work-obligated posts, his shilling might seem less pathetic.

[quote] If he is straight he is depressingly shallow in his female interests.

That's why I will never buy his alleged straightness. The average straight bro in Flyoverstan has interest in a more diverse range of females.

Billy Russo should've been gay. Discuss.

Are we sure this is photo shop and not really ben? The body hair sure matches what weve seen of him from the chest hair to his treasure trail. What if it’s one of those casting couch type pics sent to directors etc and just being explained away as internet photoshop fantasy?

The head is too big for the body and Ben has hair on his legs, while the legs in that pic are creepily hairless. Though I'm curious where that image first originated.

Reverse image lookup doesn't bring up anything other than several pages with that same pic. If it's a photoshop, then it must be a good one.

Ben like a lot of actors, has a large head.

I choose to believe the pic at R275 is real.

It was always my first thought that nude was fake because of the size of the head, but he really does have a large head in proportion to his body and he is turned sideways in the nude which could further distort the proportion.

His legs are super scrawny, I wish he'd work them out more.

But what about the leg hair?

How does a thin, good-looking rich guy not post loads and loads of photos on beaches with hundreds of friends around? Why does Ben not throw parties at his LA apartment and document his eaten-out food on IG? What’s his thing?

Why does he not have a dog, so he can post it all over social media?

Does Ben have an extremely introverted personality? Even being a person with abs(!), do people in groups intimidate him?

I suppose if his group of friends were a bunch of WeHo gay clones, we would have some candid snaps from the Abbey or something...but nope...nothing.

He's constantly at parties, R283 -- he's far from a shrinking violet. But you raise a good point that the parties are never at his own home. He does a lot of "networking" at SoHo House.

As far as the fake nude pic, we just need to find the unretouched picture with the original model's head and case closed! Now I'm off to do Google image searches for "twink on a perch" and "Kevin Spacey's iphone wallpaper."

He hangs out with Robin Williams' daughter a lot. I wonder if they are just friends. He needs to up his celebrity friends game.

Zelda and Ben may have dated at one time. It actually would have been around the time Robin killed himself. Zelda is suddenly back with Bens recent success.

The nude doesn’t have underarm hair either which seems unnatural for both Ben and supposed model. So maybe legs and underarms were both shaved to emulate a more adolescent look. Just like Bryan Singer likes.

I thought Robin's daughter is a lez?

She's bisexual.

Nooooooo unless she’s deeply and aggressively closeted, she’s the type of gal that always has to have a man to prove she’s attractive. They are always prettier too. Whether they are in fact straight also is questionable.

His Mom is a sex therapist. I'm sure she'd be fine with him being a big homo.

Now the fangirls are trying to get the Ben nay-sayer quoted up in R263 banned from IG. Goodness gracious!

I dunno. I think this DJ person knows some shit. They are jealous for sure but why pick Hadid out instead of Amber RR or Hayley Atwell or Natalie Emmanuel or any other actress model whatever ben works or is friendly with?

Him and Hadid have worked together. They did a photoshoot back in 2015. He often likes her photos on Instagram.

It’s all in the shoes, Ben. Don’t be such a fucking looooooser!

The troll knows nothing and is paranoid, to boot. Accused a couple of long-standing fansites of being Ben. Maybe she mutli-tasks as both a deranged BB fan and a deranged Bella fan? ADHD?

Someone keeps hacking his accounts and sending messages. I would love to see what's on his camera roll.

I wish. But the messages are just coming from fake accounts, not a hack of Ben's phone.

I wonder who he's fucking this Christmas?

He’s been silent for a day or two. Maybe traveling a long distance? Back to London or treating to a tropical vacation with his tv money?

I think he's been in London for a while. Since at least that Make-A-Wish video.

Happy Christmas, DL Ben Barnes Trolls!

Thank you, R302

R302, thank you. Glad someone had the time, since Ben apparently doesn’t this year. Crickets so far

We need more Ben....

I blame R260!! Bens been absent since the social media whore accusation. He’s very thin skinned like that. Damn you R260

I wonder if he has read all ththe crazy threads we have on him...

He just posted a Christmas video, singing to you, BB troll!

That last run (on part 2) was kinda poo, but he definitely still has his voice.

He should have been in 'La La Land' instead of Gosling.

Can we assume that's his parents' house in London?

R307. The best thing about the Punisher thread was when someone said they saw BB in the credits and thought, "Oh, it's that guy who has all the DL threads about him!" Ben Barnes: He's not just famous, he's Datalounge famous.

You're welcome, Ben.

That's how I first noticed him,r311. I was like omg that's the guy from the DL threads and he's gorgeous! I had to join the discussion.

It never fails R308! Proof he he reads these threads R307.

If he really reads our threads, then we all need to start behaving as if we're convinced of his 100% heterosexuality so he'll let his guard down and make a slip-up.

No comment on his singing?

He didn't have a bad voice, but it does sound like our Benny is trying too hard.

Santa + big red heart to Ricky Whittle's RT of his singing.... 'kay man.

Ben has a lovely voice, but his interpretation was bad. Last year's Xmass song was a much better performance.

And I also giggled at his fawning over Ricky Whittle. Such a bromance! *cough*

Ricky Whittle is gorgeous. According to his IG, he spent Christmas with a bunch of porn stars. He hangs out with porn star, Kieran Lee a lot. I wonder if Ben does too.

I’m trying to imagine the reaction of the fraus if B.B. spent time with porn stars. Half would be scandalized and the others would laid his Christ like unjudgementalness.

Fan sites got a pic of him on a plane to London with a female friend. Let the rampant speculation begin!

She's been ID'd as Scottish actress Georgia King who once dated that other DL fave Bradley James!

And quit Twitter because of crazy fangirl harassment. LOL. Gurl, you ain't seen nothing yet!

Brit actress Georgia King.

The pic was apparently taken on the flight to London. If they travel back together maybe there is something.

[quote]Brit actress Georgia King.

She's an awful actress : "The New Normal" HBO's "Vice-Principals", ITV's "Vicious". She makes Ben look like Sir Laurence Olivier.

She’s not that pretty. Makes you wonder how she gets work.

One of the fraus was bagging him for flying first class. As if she wouldn’t if she could afford it.

It’s weird that Felicity Jones, Tamsin Egerton and Georgia King have all got one thing in common?! Ben Barnes. Those three actress starred in a D-class low budgeted film, Chalet Girl! It was released in 2011 so BB n Tamsin were still “an item!” What a small world! Lol

She says they are friends. I don’t think there is anything going on.

[quote]She's been ID'd as Scottish actress Georgia King who once dated that other DL fave Bradley James!

I don't get why Bradley James found Georgia King attractive.

She's not all that.

She must be quite the beard! And why must he do that stupid face in pics?

The picture is taken by Ben , but the picture is in her instagram and not in the him one. It's suspicious (although she wrote "two friends").

I think that’s odd but maybe there were people in the background if the pic was taken from her angle?

The Brit ex-pat community in LA seems to be pretty close-knit. I could imagine a scenario where a bunch of them (intentionally or not) wind up on the same flight home together.

Agree she's homely.

Did someone really take him to task for flying 1st class? Why are his fraus so shrewish?

R335 What happened with his fraus?

Read upthread at R327. That's what I'm asking about; I haven't got the patience or fortitude to sift through his fraus' comments.

Cappuccinos and first class = so fancy.

His fangirls need to get out more if they can't believe that's an airplane lol.

They certainly aren't helping the "homebound provincial hausfraus" stereotype any, are they? Good grief.

Barnes is the go to guy for directors wanting the rodent eyes look.

I love his dark eyes.

Bump

His eyes are my most favorite eyes of any eyes that have existed.

His eye color is my least favorite of his features. But I'm willing to overlook it.

Who’s the older gent on the left?

That is Douglas Gresham, one of the producers (and the stepson of C.S. Lewis!) The hat does give him a George R.R. Martin creepster vibe, doesn't it?

Remember that ancient blurb in the Daily Mail about BB going around London with an "older gentleman"? I'm going to assume that was Spacey now until proven otherwise. LOL

I want to brush his hair and tell him bedtime stories.

B.B. has one audio book narration on his resume. Curtis Jobling’s World of Warriors; A New Hero. I often let B.B. put me to sleep reading this bedtime story.

[quote] I want to brush his hair and tell him bedtime stories.

"And then the handsome prince got a multi-picture contract to play James Bond and all the straight guys loved him and he lived happily ever after."

I love you R350!

R351. Awww, shucks! I'm blushing.

I forgot to add, "And no one questioned his sexuality ever again. The end."

He hasn't been in a film in years, I would love to see him get a huge role in something successful.

Keep dreaming, R353.

(I'd like to see him get a role in a film that was GOOD, successful or not.)

I've been thinking a lot lately that I'd love to see him play an actual Brit again. His natural accent is so pleasant, I don't think he's used it since what? Easy Virtue? And that was shit.

Correcting myself - Dorian Gray came out after Easy Virtue. Point remains, it's been ages since he's played a Brit.

Ben looked so gorgeous in Dorian Gray. I miss his shaved face. I'm over the bearded look.

I agree, R357.

Ben looked beautiful in 'Dorian Gray':

He hasn't been clean-shaven in two years. I'm over the beard, as well.

Co-signed with all of the above. Over the beard, over the fake American accents, over the LA bro clothes, and most of all, over having to hold my nose and suffer through dreck in order to see BB.

Ben, this thread HAS STATED ITS BOUNDARIES!

I love rubbing my face and other body parts on facial hair. But I wouldn’t lick clean shaven B.B. out of bed either.

Oh I'd lick him any which way

So, we need him to shave, move back to London, and star in a nice English production? Perhaps Shakespeare or an Isherwood adaptation with substantial mansex?

I mean, we're not asking for much. Also full frontal in that production to put the cut/uncut debate to rest.

What musical can you see him in? He wanted to do Jesus Christ Superstar with Adam Lambert.

Is he going to be in the second season of Westworld?

Yes! R366.

I wonder how substantial his role will be. He was so creepy as Logan.

I doubt it will be as much as season one. Just a few scenes.

From your lips to God's ears, R363! I basically wish that Barnes had Wishaw's career.

I agree with R369 -- my theory is he'll appear in a flashback or laid on a slab in a morgue.

R370, nude on the morgue slab, I hope. The series Glue did that well.

I wonder if he'd be brave enough to go full frontal. My feeling is no.

Don't they use faux cocks for those scenes anyway? It wouldn't be the real BBBits.

Faux cocks are so 1997.

Sorry, nope

Ben for James Bond!

REAL thing or nothing! Wearing a prosethitic isn’t any different than wearing clothes! Actresses don’t get to choose one. Stand with the women B.B. and go nude!

Some more manip pic fun

HA. Some people need to take a community college course in Photoshop.

Musical interlude bump

BB bump!

Ear worm alert! Now we need to match the music to videos of B.B. dancing!

[quote]Also full frontal in that production to put the cut/uncut debate to rest.

I second this request.

Hopefully while he is jn the UK he is looking for projects and networking. Not wasting all his time with family visits.

Who needs family?! Get on that casting couch, BB!

Oh, and Happy New Year, trolls!

Post your favorite drunk BB pics

Remember this?

That's not really BB, though. this wedding had some good ones.

Earlier in the evening

I always assumed he was drunk in this one

Would Ben’s career get a bit of a jump start if he showed his body more? Not full on Insta-ho, but some nice pool-side shots in LA? He’s past the twink phase, but the man is still ridiculously sexy.

His body is better now than it was in his 20s. Certainly wouldn't hurt.

And here's one for the ladies

Classic

He looks super high.

Ben with Julian Morris:

He looks like he was hot boxing in R394

Remember the coke booger pic?

Coke Booger Ben

That's Julian in R394, too.

I still think that's just a garden-variety booger (or piece of tissue, or trick of the light) in R399.

Maybe only slightly tipsy

Oh god Nick Hoult. What a hot piece of twink ass he was. He’s huge though, isn’t he lol

Another pic of Ben & Julian:

Ben looks so happy around his boys.

Welcome to Miami

Ben is definitely gay!

Proof R406?

Now you're just being intentionally obtuse, R407. (Though I think he's more of a Kinsey 5.)

Well I keep hoping someone will show up who knows something about him.

B.B. sighting with brother in London for NYE

Is that Ben's girlfriend?

The frau site said it’s the wife of the man next to B.B.

I see Jack isn't immune to the Barnes Stupid IG Facial Expressions syndrome.

Ben is much hotter than his brother.

Yeah it's weird the way siblings vary so much in their hotness.

The brother got the brains I think

Luke Hemsworth is meh looking and short while his brother Chris (and even Liam) looks like a god.

Luke may not be as hot as the other 2, but he's still very attractive.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

I don't know what Ben's parents look like, but he got all the looks. His brother isn't ugly but is no BB.

Thomas Barnes

Tricia Barnes, sex therapist and saucy little minx.

He looks like his mum and his brother favors dad.

R423 Exactly, Ben is the male version of his mother.

Something about Jack vaguely resembles Hugh Jackman to me.

His mom wrote a book called A Woman's Guide to Loving Sex. Lol.

My sis got it for Xmas!

She needs to publish something new. Along the lines of "From Sexually-Confused Boys to Emotionally-Stunted Manchildren: A Mother's Guide to Raising Sons" I'm sure we'd all buy a copy!

Ben's parents are just average-looking.

He's lucky he ended up so pretty.

His mum was probably a looker when she was young. I wonder if having a psychiatrist dad and sex therapist mum fucked him up? I dated a psychiatrist once and he was a fucking loon.

What did he do R430?

R430 Yeah, share with us! My partner knows a lot of psychiatrists through his job, and he can vouch that the majority of them have issues.

We can pretend we’re talking about B.B. it’ll be fun!

He posted a boring Instagram story. I want more drama from BB.

There’s lots of stuff he could be showing us in his IG without too much intrusion. His walks. What he eats for dinner. He just doesn’t think about us. Typical Leo

R435 Agree

He's a right prick.

But he’s our prick

BB could take a few lessons from his friend Jimmi Simpson on how to better do social media. Jimmi doesn't post that often, but he gives a nice balance between work posts and glimpses into his life. His activism/political posts seem genuine and deeply-felt, AND he doesn't hide the existence of his gf.

Of course as a Scorpio, Jimmi is infinitely more mature than BB so it only stands to reason.

And Jimmi doesn’t hide his SO’s like he’s ashamed of them and/or looking for better.

I love seeing B.B.’s butt traipsing across the Lounge all the time.

Sauntering....

We are going to have to use that gif for every new BB thread.

How can we make Ben a star? Can any HW insiders on here give some insight?

We keep telling him to get on that fucking casting couch already!

Suck. Cock.

(For business, not just pleasure.)

He needs a project that doesn’t depend on star power but can make him a star just by being in it. A Disney live action movie. Bond if he can get it. Being in a Marvel movie. A cool indie that breaks out of the art houses into mainstream.

Does Netflix make public their ratings?

He's gotten a lot of attention from The Punisher. Reviewers who were able to get over the violence have nothing but praise for the cast, and he's consistently mentioned second only to Bernthal.

This seems to happen to him a lot though, with the few projects he's done that aren't completely slaughtered by critics and general audiences. He certainly gets people's attention, but he can't maintain the momentum in between projects. Or he chooses a followup that's absolute shit.

He needs a better agent and actual PR to keep him relevant and in well-suited roles.

Agreed, R449. Is BB the victim of his own poor life choices and/or hubris?

Ben is aging like a fine wine. I want to see how he looks without the beard these days. Gorgeous, I'm sure.

Ben’s is victim of his own reluctance to go for lower-budget, serious dramatic roles. Those are the ones that launch you to award stardom. He should’ve switched gears soon after Narnia faded.

Barnes gave a surprisingly bad performance in Westworld

Has he ever mentioned taking acting classes? Other than his training with National youth theater in the UK? He needs to invest in his future by studying with a respected acting coach.

R452. Hubris then. I agree -- despite his earnest soundbites over the years, I think he's always wanted to be a marquee name rather than a serious actor. Disappointing.

R454. From what he's said, his parents weren't happy about his choice to go into performance for a living, and insisted that he still receive a University education. So rather than attend a good British drama school with all of the other would-be actors, he went to Uni and studied drama. I think he's only received on-the-job training.

If he worked in better projects with a better caliber of actors, he could learn from them.

Stay bundled up today, East Coast BB Trolls

Ben for Bond!!!

Ben for Bond!

Haven't the Bond people already decided to re-hire that fug old Daniel Craig again?

If Ben were to be cast as Bond, I wonder if there'd be a huge backlash against him? Probably. I remember public outcry against every new Bond except Pierce Brosnan.

I know R459! He leaves me speechless too.

Even BB's poor frauen must be as bored as we are -- they're resorting to posting just any damn thing to keep busy. "Ben is just a phenomenal and brilliant actor" Teehee.

Well, maybe he'll be back stateside this weekend and we'll get some new pics from Golden Globes parties. Zzzzzzz...

I hope he does another shameless Dunkin Donuts ad again this year.

Wonder how much he got paid for that?

Not enough.

Free Dunkacinnos for life!

We need more from Ben. New pictures, anything!!

He wasn't invited to Golden Globes?

Nice to know that Ben is among the civilized. He's intact.

You're new here, aren't you R469?

I hope one day Ben can win a Golden Globe.

Westworld was last year? And no Punisher noms?

I want to lick Ben’s Golden Globes

Marvel shows never get nominated

R469, what do you know?

R469 knows how not to recognize bad Photoshopping.

Jimmi gets a nice little profile in Esquire. BB gets...*crickets*

Here’s a little consolation while we await B.B. s next social media offering.

Why is his PR game so terrible?

I hope he's at least doing something useful while he's in hiding. Even the fraus have gone quiet in their boredom.

Benjamin, won't you think of the frauen?!

You know what? Screw Bond. I want to see BB play Christopher Steele in an action-packed spy thriller/biopic.

Hiiiiii BB!

For the love of god, when's he going to shut up about the Punisher?

Grow up R484! Punisher put him back in the game when even Westworld couldn’t

Not really "back in the game" if he hasn't got any new work or even media appearances lined up, is he?

Yes he needs new representation.

He’s repped by an all in one type mgmt agency. Probably takes a percentage for all services included instead of having to pay a percentage to multiple reps for different services. But attention to fine details probably get lost. I suspect his recent success is due more to his social skills than what his agent/handlers do.

I just watched Westworld and he wasn't shockingly bad. I say that as a huge fan, but he stood out compared to the very strong cast. I'm not sure if it was the script or what.

I remember watching an interview and he said he chose roles based on if they were the titular/main character. He didn't even bother reading the script.

He’s not the sharpest etc

Although he wasn't very good in Westworld, I think 75% of it was down to the script. The character really was just a cartoonish pastiche. He played it as written.

Really disappointed with The Punisher. They tried too hard to make it good and ended up choking it. I have a HUGE crush on Jon Bernthal which is the only reason I watched the show. Was surprised by BB - he's actually a decent actor with real potential. Had a manly quality I wasn't expecting. Pity about the show

B.B.s lines in Westworld were the worst. No one could have said them believably.

I cringed at that buckaroo line. So bad.

R493. What didn't you enjoy about Punisher? It far exceeded my expectations. (But then, my expectations were that it was going to be wall-to-wall douchebro gun porn.) Admittedly, it suffered from Netflix Bloat but I can't blame the showrunners for that.

Ben was excellent in The Punisher. I hope that role gets him noticed and provides more opportunities.

Bens bum bump

Ben needs to gain 20 pounds of muscle.

LOL R499. he did for Punisher!

We're so bored we may as well internet stalk. Let's catch up with BB's yacht trip friends. Anyone know any of these guys?

Gurl, he needs even more. He looks so thin on camera, I can only imagine what he looks like in real life.

He just doesn't have the physiology for it. From all accounts, he had to practically kill himself in the gym to get as muscled as he did in The Punisher. For sure the man needs calories from sources besides booze, though.

I wouldn't mind him doing a steroid cycle.

Ugh, no. I think his punisher body is great, but I never have found muscle marys attractive.

R500. Ben doesn't seem to have anything to do with that Daniel person on IG anymore.

With his body there is no way he could ever reach muscle Mary status.

I’m very happy with lanky and sinewy B.B.

Same. Wouldn't want him any "bigger" than he was in Punisher.

Would you prefer him to have a bigger butt?

The motion has been passed! Next order of business?

Who is the asshole that gave this post F&F? Now I can't see the gif of his ass.

Fuckity fuck!!! It was a frauen “protecting” B.B. I’m sure

[quote] Who is the asshole that gave this post F&F?

Maybe it was Ben. Anyway, here ya go.

He should try to gain a few pounds of muscle...in his ass.

Unfortunately Ben will probably never have a bubble butt.

Has anyone met him? Any industry people here?

Does the F&F stay or go away after time? Or can we counter act it? Petition?

Spam the DL with Bens Bum!!

R515. I think that if enough people hit the WW, the FF goes away. It's like clapping for Tinkerbell. Or, you can adjust your Settings more towards 'Asbestos Eyeballs' and you'll see all the FFd posts. But then you'll see a bunch of Trump-loving douchebags and I'm not sure if BB's ass is worth that.

R514. There are some industry people on DL, but nobody ever has anything to say about BB. Maybe he's really a goddamned hermit.

I can't believe that Ben hasn't even been treating us to his occasional pretentious movie review tweets or his random SJW-lite tweets. Has he fallen down a well?

Ben is currently not working and on a bender.

Does Ben have child bearing hips?

He thinks so! He called them that in a video where he is being fitted for a suit. But cmon, he is ridiculously skinny.

I was just watching him shirtless in Punisher. He is thin but his hips are a bit wide, especially considering how wispy he is.

Whatever are you talking about?

BB bump.

Ben can't believe that there's some sociopathic twat on DL who greyed out his thread.

(It's probably the same vermin who hates kitten threads.)

Well with all the actors going down in flames with #metto and #timesup, maybe there will be more room at the top for nice guys like B.B.

I hope no scandals come out about our Ben!!!

They’d be old ones I think. Remember his friend rob Kazinsky was accused of harassment on a Brit tv show. But Casey Afflecks was 7 or so years past when it got dredged up, so who knows.

Bring on the gay scandals.

Yes to the gay scandals!!!

Hopefully there are some.

If there was ever a gay scandal, all of DL would be like

DL would fucking explode.

But we'd die happy

I theorize BB's gone AWOL because he's on a yacht somewhere.

Hopefully working hard for a good project!

Yeah, working hard like

We're rooting for YOU, BB. Get those parts, gurl!

Bump

I hate to burst the yacht trip bubble, but our man was spotted at Ralph's with a fan named Joe.

Joe, are you here? Stand up and be counted.

Well there goes my theory...

Isn’t Ralph’s the market celebs go when they want to get papped?

What theory R541 that link is blocked

I thought Gelson's was the place to get papped.

R543 The theory that Ben was off on a glamorous gay yacht trip/working vacation. See R540...Ben's bumming around LA with the plebs.

"Taking 2018 to find myself" -- Jokey play on words, or admission that he has no work lined up? Discuss.

He went to all the department stores carrying Uomo to ensure prominent placement of his face cards

R547, you are the best!

We’re almost finished with this thread! I can’t believe we found that much to talk about he’s so boring. What’s our next thread pic? Did we dare?

Maybe some tongue action?

Loved Emma Holly Jones portraits of him

Brooding

Soft spot

We can't use a Photoshopped fake nude, that would be misleading. And while those other pictures are lively, they're far too tasteful to attract the attention of passing Dataloungers. Let's stick with skin.

^^Lovely, not lively!

Yes I was looking for that one of B.B. in bed. It’s a good one. Shouldn’t draw an FF either but with psychopaths you never know.

It needs to be cropped so it’s focused on B.B.

Another prop

Better?

Poor BB will never have as many threads as Timothee Whathisname. He should do a gay-themed project to get more buzz. (Dorian Gray doesn't count. Dorian was a bi/omni/pan -sexual.)

Yes R559

B.B. isn’t prepubescent looking so no he doesn’t appeal so much to DL

Well, he should do a gay project anyway. With a hot co-star.

I’m so interested in the tidbit that B.B. was a Hollywood Manny years ago. Long before Caspian. I wish an interviewer would delve into those details more.

Where did you hear that, R564? Please elaborate, it's news to me. "Long before Caspian" wasn't BB doing theater across the UK?

Why not try using the same gif of Ben's ass again?

“Babysitting “

I LOVE BB. He comes off as super desperate sometimes though.

Thanks R567. I wonder who the friend was?

Does Ben have a snaggletooth?

Yes and his eyebrows are getting gnarly.

A snaggletooth? (I agree about the eyebrows. His disregard of good facial hair grooming practices makes me confused about his sexuality.)

r572 look at R550. Its sleight but still

I wish he would shave his face. He would look so much cleaner and younger.

Maybe the beard is hiding wrinkles.

If he's not careful, he'll end up with JRR Tolkien eyebrows.

I agree.

Bad eyebrow situation

Is BB no longer a DL fave?

Perish the thought! BB shall forever be a DL fave.

However, even DL faves need to, you know, DO things now and again to spark discussion.

Here's a topic to pass the time -- This May will mark ten years since 'Prince Caspian' premiered! Are you a long-time BB fan? A newbie brought here by The Punisher? Or not a fan, but just here for the eye candy, gay gossip, and smack talking? Share with us.

I consider myself a long-time fan and am all in for rumors, innuendos, and smack talk! I've been following Ben's career off and on since walking past a Caspian poster at my neighborhood theater in 2008. I didn't see the movie (HELL NO!), but went right home and started Googling.

I remember when he first became infamous and thinking he was gorgeous etc and following him a bit. Waited for Dorain Grey to come out and then it went nowhere so I kinda forgot him. But last year I was looking for a new crush, because I always have to have one for some reason. I just randomly started searching different actors that have come and gone. Till I remembered B.B. and googled to see what he was up to. He had just completed filming Westworld and career boost in progress. Just in time.

Personal Jesus

Hippie

Has Ben the Feminist been spotted at any of the women’s marches?

HA. Probably too busy running his shopping errands at Ralph's.

Remember several years ago he was papped at the Grove pretty often; he hasn't done that in a while.

Ben the Feminist hard at work retweeting other people's feminist content. So brave!

Westworld season 2 will air in April.

Will Ben have limited appearances in Season 2?

Yes R591

HBO is getting to be ridiculous with their levels of secrecy.

Unless these two fuck it's all worthless.

We want to get to the end of Part V

Fuck it, close enough. Part VI is open.
