Wilde for Ben

Narnia’s Price Caspian, English actor Ben Barnes, just landed a new gig.

He’s been cast to play Oscar Wilde‘s iconic character Dorian Gray in a new adaptation of the author’s novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Good for hottie Barnes…going from kiddie fare to a serious lit role.

We saw Prince Caspian this past weekend and we loved it, even if Ben’s accent was a bit wonky in it. (Was he trying to sound Latino???)

He’s pretty to look at, and we don’t mind seeing more of this bb on screen!
