00:00A bunny and a rabbit is the same thing, isn't it?
00:03Is it?
00:05I see bunny as like pink and 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.
00:20My first question is
00:23what was the very first job that I ever got paid to do?
00:28A, playing the drums in the West End
00:32B, working in a bar even though I was underage
00:36or was it C, performing a musical number
00:40in front of the Queen
00:41where I had to take my clothes off?
00:45I really want that one to be true.
00:48I think it's C.
00:49I think he may have mentioned that before.
00:51You were doing the legal bar work
00:52playing drums in the West End.
00:54I know you did that.
00:55I 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
01:01pay to play the drums
01:02What are we going for then?
01:04There's too many of us
01:05Drums?
01:06Go with the drums
01:06Okay
01:07You are correct
01:08That was the first thing
01:10Yeah!
01:10Yeah!
01:11But they are all things that I did do
01:15I knew you had done that
01:17My 11th birthday
01:19I asked for and received
01:21A. A wok
01:23B. A top hat
01:26Or C. A Swiss army knife
01:28They all represent different facets of you
01:31They'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
01:41Little Jessie in a top hat
01:43You're correct
01:45It was a top hat
01:46Yeah!
01:46Yeah!
01:47Yeah!
01:47I was a big fan of Slash
01:51When I was about 11
01:52So I asked for a top hat
01:55And I used to wear it outside
01:57Quite a lot
01:58Hella cute
01:59What is my favourite song of all time?
02:04Is it A
02:05I know
02:06I know
02:06As by Stevie Wonder
02:08Is it B
02:09I'm Coming Out by Diana Ross
02:11Or is it C
02:12Which is September by Earth, Wind & Fire
02:14You like all of those songs
02:15That's not a good one
02:16You like all of them
02:17You love all of those songs
02:18I think it's As
02:19That's why it's time
02:20I'm going to go As
02:21I think it's As
02:22What I've even heard you say As before
02:24Yeah
02:25And it is a mega
02:26It reminds me of you
02:27Well, you are correct
02:30You know me so well
02:31Yeah!
02:37I'm now invested in this game
02:38To the point where I want us
02:40To come across as people
02:41Who do know each other really well
02:42I didn't think I would care
02:45But now I do
02:46What was the animal of the onesie
02:51That I wore on set?
02:53Was it A
02:54A bear
02:56B
02:57A bunny
02:58C
02:59A rabbit
03:00Wait
03:01A bunny and a rabbit?
03:03A bunny and a rabbit is the same thing, isn't it?
03:07Is it?
03:09I see bunny as like pink
03:12And a rabbit as white
03:15Well, you weren't in a pink onesie
03:20So that one's out
03:21A bunny is a baby rabbit
03:22Yeah, thank you
03:24That's what I mean, thank you
03:25They do come out
03:26But they're not normally pink
03:27Oh, bloody hell
03:29All right
03:29A, a hair
03:30B, a bunny
03:32C, a rabbit
03:34It's changing you
03:35I'm kidding
03:36Is it a bunny, a hare, or a rabbit?
03:41It's got a bit
03:42Well, I'm going with all three
03:43Which is one animal
03:44Which is a rabbit, right?
03:47It was a bunny
03:48It was a rabbit
03:50I'm going to say rabbit
03:51Specifically
03:51I'm going to go rabbit
03:52It was a rabbit
03:53It was a rabbit
03:54Yeah
03:54Everyone wins
03:56I loved that you wore a onesie on set
03:58It was so cold some of those mornings
04:00And you had to come in
04:01To get your hair and makeup done
04:02It was very sneering
04:03And you'd have this onesie
04:05And you'd be sat in the chair for like two hours
04:06And I was like
04:07I don't think Amit is 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
04:21B, the snake man
04:23Yeah
04:23You used to have a better snake, didn't you?
04:25Yeah
04:25Yeah, Jimmy's brother owned it
04:27Jimmy, who's in our show
04:30Jimmy, who played Tophin
04:32His brother
04:34Oh yeah
04:34Gave me and my best mate
04:36Our first jobs
04:38And we had Saturday jobs
04:39In a reptile shop
04:40Which was wicked
04:42I think this might be quite an easy one
04:43But what is my middle name?
04:46Is it A, Jacob
04:47B, James
04:50Or C, Jeremiah
04:52B
04:55James
04:58We've got the same
05:00We've got the same
05:03Yeah
05:04How many films have I been in?
05:08Nine
05:08Eleven
05:09Eleven
05:09Or thirteen
05:10I'll say
05:11I'll say eleven
05:12Yeah
05:13I think eleven
05:14Nice, nice middle ground
05:15I spend quite a lot of time
05:17Just scrolling through your IMDb
05:18So I'm going to say eleven
05:19Yeah
05:20Last time I checked
05:22I might learn something
05:24It's thirteen
05:25I've got two more things to watch tonight
05:33It's great
05:34My 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
05:44Jason
05:46Or Smelly Albert
05:48I think I know
05:49Again, all feasible
05:50I think, yeah
05:52I think I remember you saying
05:53She calls me Jason
05:54It's Jason, isn't it?
05:56Yeah
05:56I think it's Jason
05:57Jason
05:58What?
05:58Jason didn't know me?
05:59Jason didn't know me?
06:00So I feel like I remember you telling me
06:01And my reaction being
06:03You are correct
06:04My mum calls me Jason
06:06Aww
06:06Why did she call you Jason?
06:08I don't even know
06:10Neither of my parents actually call me Jessie
06:12Which is really weird
06:13It's a bit
06:14Which food do I not like eating?
06:17Chocolate, cake or carrots?
06:20I know you don't like sweet food
06:22So it's either chocolate or cake
06:23I'm going to go with cake
06:24Because I love cake
06:26And I always offer you some
06:27And you're like, no, I'm good
06:28So I'm going to
06:29I'm a really interesting story
06:31Because no one would get in the way
06:32Between you and your cake
06:33No
06:34That's true
06:35No one would get in the way
06:36You don't have a sweet tooth
06:39Chocolate
06:39Chocolate?
06:40No, it's cake
06:41No, I'm really annoying
06:46It's really
06:47I'd be that kid
06:48I'd be that kid at parties
06:50You know when you walk around
06:51You get a party bag
06:52And you get like a little bit of cake in there
06:53And it would just live in the fridge
06:55And my dad would be like
06:56Weeping
06:56Like, please
06:57Eat the cake
06:58Otherwise I'll have to
06:58And I had a birthday
06:59Well, I was doing a job
07:00And we had loads of birthdays
07:02While we were rehearsing for this play
07:03And everyone had cake
07:04Almost every week
07:05And they got to me
07:06And they realised
07:06They'd worked out
07:07That I never ate any of the cake
07:09And they were like
07:09What do you want?
07:10And I was like
07:10I don't know
07:11Like anything
07:11Like a pizza
07:12And as a joke
07:13And they brought me
07:14A birthday pizza
07:15With candles in it
07:16When I was a kid
07:17People used to give me
07:18I used to love
