Ben Barnes says negative reaction to 2009 film made him ‘regret’ the experience

Ben Barnes has spoken about how a negative reception to the 2009 adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s Dorian Gray, in which he starred as the title character, shifted his perception of making the film.

The British actor and musician, who recently released his debut album, Where the Light Gets In, said he blamed himself at the time for not committing enough to the role.
