Ben Barnes is a very handsome fellow but he's not my idea of Dorian.

That's cause Dorian was blonde and had grey eyes.

My favorite book!
I'll watch the film, but I dunno....Ben Barnes...? Really?

Yes that's part of it. Ben Barnes just doesn't have the naivety, the beauty that Dorian has. And that line about having to kill if he told someone his secret... meh.

One wonders what Oscar Wilde would have thought of him.

He'd probably have thought he wasn't Dorian but still cute. lulz!
