Ben Barnes Instagram – British heartthrob @benbarnes is having a *lot* of fun playing @shadowandbone’s resident villain General Kirigan. “He’s dealing with all these inner demons — I mean, he’s an actual monster — but he also knows how to use charm as a weapon and manipulate people so skillfully. He’s so slick! But you should know,” #BenBarnes laughs. “That is 100% not me!” For our New & Next issue, Barnes shares his brief stint in a boy band, what’s next for his music career, and why his favorite pickup line involves an ice bucket at the link in bio.
