00:00A bunny and a rabbit is the same thing, isn't it?
00:02Is it?
00:05I see bunny as like pink and a rabbit as white.
00:12Hello, I'm Ben Barnes from Shadow and Bone
00:14and we are going to play
00:15How Well Do You Know Your Co-Star with Marie Claire?
00:21My first question is,
00:23what was the very first job that I ever got paid to do?
00:29A. Playing the drums in the West End
00:33B. Working in a bar even though I was underage
00:36or was it C. Performing a musical number in front of the Queen
00:41where I had to take my clothes off?
00:46I really want that one to be true.
00:48I think it's C. I think he may have mentioned that before.
00:51You were doing illegal bar work, playing drums in the West End.
00:54I know you did that, I know you did that
00:56but I don't know if that was your first...
00:57Actually, I'm going to go with that one.
00:59I'm going to go with that one.
01:00I'm going to go with the paid to play the drums.
01:03What are we going for then?
01:04There's too many of us.
01:05Drums?
01:06Go with the drums.
01:07Okay.
01:07You are correct.
01:08That was the first thing you got paid to do.
01:12But they are all things that I did do.
01:18My 11th birthday, I asked for and received
01:22A. A wok
01:24B. A top hat
01:26or C. A Swiss army knife.
01:28They all represent different facets of you.
01:33I hope they do.
01:34They're all so viable.
01:35B. It's top hat.
01:36Yeah.
01:36It's a top hat.
01:37It's got to be a top hat.
01:38It's got to be a top hat.
01:39I really want it to be Little Jesse and a top hat.
01:44You're correct.
01:45It was a top hat.
01:46Yeah.
01:49I was a big fan of Slash when I was about 11.
01:53So I asked for a top hat and I used to...
01:55I used to wear it outside quite a lot.
01:59Hella cute.
02:00What is my favourite song of all time?
02:04Is it A.
02:05I know.
02:06I know.
02:07As by Stevie Wonder.
02:08Is it B. I'm Coming Out by Diana Ross.
02:11Or is it C. Which is September by Earth, Wind & Fire.
02:14Like all of those songs.
02:15That's probably because we know you love all of those songs.
02:18I think it's As.
02:19That's why it's time.
02:20I'm going to go with As.
02:22But I think that's one that you say as before.
02:25And it is a mega song.
02:26It reminds me of you.
02:27Well, you are correct.
02:30You know me so well.
02:37I'm now invested in this game to the point where I want us to come across as people
02:41who do know each other really well.
02:44I didn't think I would care, but now I do.
02:47What was the animal of the onesie that I wore on set?
02:53Was it A. A bear.
02:57B. A bunny.
02:59C. A rabbit.
03:01Wait, a bunny and a rabbit?
03:04A bunny and a rabbit is the same thing, isn't it?
03:07Is it?
03:10I see bunny as like pink and a rabbit as white.
03:17Well, you weren't in a pink onesie, so that one's out.
03:21A bunny is a baby rabbit.
03:23Yeah, thank you.
03:24That's what I mean.
03:24Thank you.
03:25They do come out pink.
03:26But they're not normally pink.
03:28Oh, bloody hell.
03:29All right.
03:29A. A hare.
03:31B. A bunny.
03:33C. A rabbit.
03:34The rabbit's changing you.
03:35I'm confused.
03:38Is it a bunny, a hare or a rabbit?
03:42Well, I'm going with all three, which is one animal, which is a rabbit, right?
03:47It was a bunny.
03:49It was a rabbit.
03:50I'm going to say rabbit specifically.
03:51I'm going to go rabbit.
03:52It was a rabbit.
03:55Everyone wins.
03:56I love to think you wore a onesie on set.
03:58It was so cold some of those mornings.
04:00And you had to come in to get your hair and make-up done.
04:02It was very tiring.
04:03And you'd have this onesie and you'd be sat in the chair for like two hours.
04:06And I was like, I don't think Amita's working today.
04:09She's just chilling.
04:10What was my first job?
04:13A. A labourer.
04:14B. In a reptile shop.
04:16C. In Waitrose.
04:18B. In a reptile shop.
04:20Yeah, reptile shop.
04:21C. The snake man.
04:23Yeah.
04:24You sound like a snake, don't you?
04:25Yeah, yeah.
04:26Jimmy's brother owned it.
04:31Jimmy, who plays Topin, his brother gave me and my best mate our first jobs.
04:38And we had Saturday jobs in a reptile shop, which was wicked.
04:42I think this might be quite an easy one.
04:43But what is my middle name?
04:46Is it A. Jacob.
04:48B. James.
04:50Or C. Jeremiah.
04:56B.
04:58James.
04:58Mine's, we've got the same.
04:59You weren't confident with that.
05:01Oh dear, I remember now.
05:02We've got the same.
05:05How many films have I been in?
05:08Nine, eleven or thirteen?
05:11I'll say eleven.
05:13Yeah, I think eleven.
05:14Nice, nice middle ground.
05:15I spend quite a lot of time just scrolling through your IMDB.
05:18So I'm going to say eleven.
05:20Yeah.
05:22Last time I checked, it wasn't eleven.
05:23I might learn something.
05:24It's thirteen.
05:25Yes!
05:29And none for any of you.
05:31I win, right?
05:32I've got two more things to watch tonight.
05:33It's great.
05:36My mum has an affectionate sort of nickname for me.
05:39She never really calls me by my name.
05:41So, does my mum call me Devil Child, Jason or Smelly Albert?
05:48I think I know.
05:49Again, all feasible.
05:51I think, yeah, I think I know what you're saying.
05:53She calls me Jason.
05:55It's Jason, isn't it?
05:56Yeah, your mum calls you Jason.
05:58What, like Jason Malik?
06:00So I feel like I've got Jason Malik.
06:01And my reaction being, what?
06:03You are correct, my mum calls me Jason.
06:06Oh, why does she call you Jason?
06:09I don't even know.
06:10Neither of my parents actually call me Jessie, which is really weird.
06:14Which food do I not like eating?
06:18Chocolate, cake or carrots?
06:20I know you don't like sweet foods.
06:22It's either chocolate or cake.
06:23I'm going to go with cake because I love cake.
06:26And I always offer you some and you're like, no, I'm good.
06:28So I'm going to, I mean, it's a really interesting story.
06:30Because no one would get in the way between you and your cake.
06:33No.
06:34That's true, no one would.
06:35Seriously.
06:38You don't have a sweet tooth.
06:39Yeah, chocolate.
06:40No, it's cake.
06:45No, I'm really annoying.
06:47It's really, I'd be that kid, I'd be that kid at parties.
06:50You know, when you walk around and you get a party bag
06:51and you get like a little bit of cake in there
06:53and it would just live in the fridge.
06:54And my dad would be like, please eat the cake.
06:58Otherwise I'll have to.
06:59And I had a birthday where I was doing a job
07:01and we had loads of birthdays while we were rehearsing for this play.
07:03And everyone had cake almost every week.
07:05And they got to me and they realised, they'd worked out
07:07that I never ate any of the cake.
07:08And they were like, what do you want?
07:10And I was like, I don't know, like anything, like a pizza.
07:12And as a joke, and they brought me a birthday pizza with candles in it.
07:16When I was a kid, people used to give me, I used to love cantaloupes, like melon.
07:21And I used to get a birthday melon with candles in it.
07:25I get a birthday melon.
07:27You get a birthday what?
07:28Pineapple.
07:32What a bunch of weirdos we are.
07:34What was the name of the place I was born in?
07:37Is it A, Mperiari, B, Beergunge, C, Katmandu.
07:46Beergunge.
07:47B, B, B.
07:50B?
07:51I'm going to go for A.
07:52I'm going to go with A.
07:54B sounds familiar.
07:55Oh, well done.
07:57It's A, Mperiari.
07:59Yeah.
08:00Well, at least.
08:02Oh, go on, Freddie.
08:05What is my favourite biscuit or cookie?
08:08Is it A, Oreo, B, Maryland Cookies, C, Fox's Butter Biscuit.
08:14Butter Biscuit.
08:15Butter Biscuit.
08:16That's a week, it grabs him.
08:17Yeah.
08:21Is that what I did?
08:22Yeah, it was.
08:22Yeah, a little biscuit.
08:26You were like, oh yeah, when you binge a show and you get your biscuits.
08:32How many cameras do I have?
08:33Is it six, nine or 12?
08:37The collection has grown since we were filming.
08:4012.
08:41I'm going to go nine.
08:42I'm going to go nine.
08:44I'm going to say it's almost as many films as Ben Barnes has been in.
08:48So I'm going to say it's 12.
08:52The answer is nine.
08:54Yes.
08:55Who got that?
08:57Okay, but by the time this comes out, it'll be 12, right?
08:59Yeah, it will.
09:01Yeah, there'll be a surplus.
09:04But Amita knows us the best, it seems.
09:06I do, I do.
09:08Our little bunny.
09:10Our little bunny rabbit hair.
