Ben Barnes is all suited up for the premiere of his new film, The Words, held at the Arclight Cinemas in Hollywood on Tuesday night (September 4).

The 31-year-old British actor recently spoke with Collider about playing a younger version of iconic actor Jeremy Irons for the film.

Ben shared, “The only thing that I did — I got to Montreal the day before shooting…luckily, they had already shot most of Jeremy‘s role. When I got there, they showed me this fantastic close up of him, which is not in the movie. A 10-minute close up of his face, of him telling Bradley [Cooper] what happened to him as a child.”

He added, “I just took a couple of little things — the way he squinted his eyes and there was a hand gesture…”

The Words opens Friday, September 7th. 10+ pics inside…
