Bond 星, 星级 Ben Whishaw is the new voice of Paddington Bear. He takes over from Colin Firth, who graciously opted for ‘conscious uncoupling’ from the upcoming film, called Paddington, because he couldn’t find the right vocal tone for the much-loved character.
Producer David Heyman and director Paul King told me that Colin sensed early on, before they did, he wasn’t right for the role.
‘He was saying: “Are 你 sure I’m right?” He was way ahead of us,’ Heyman admitted. ‘Colin was brilliant, but his voice was, ultimately, too mature.’
Paddington, he says, is an optimistic bear...

Of all the pleasing elements in the latest Bond film, the reinvention of Q as a young, anorak-clad computer genius was perhaps the most intriguing.
It was classic Ben Whishaw, an actor who is now being talked about as one of Britain’s finest. That he only worked on Skyfall for five days is surprising; that it was all he needed to make his mark, less so.
It is a quality that Daniel Craig has been aware of – painfully aware, it transpires – since 1999, when their paths first crossed on William Boyd’s directorial debut, The Trench.
Whishaw, then 17 and still studying for his A levels at...

Skyfall 星, 星级 Ben Whishaw has hinted that Bond 24 could begin production 由 the end of the year.

The 小时 actor, who played MI6's new Q in last year's action blockbuster, 说 that he and Daniel Craig will "probably be back together again in about ten months".
Whishaw also 说 that he hopes Q is 更多 involved in the Skyfall follow-up and wants Sam Mendes to return to the director's chair.

Asked if there was any actor he'd like to see play James Bond when Craig's tenure finished, Whishaw replied: "I know that he's doing the 下一个 three so I'm not thinking beyond that. We've got to just get through...

What is it with Ben Whishaw and cats? Last time I met him, in a bar in Shoreditch in 2004, he was 23. Just six months out of Rada, he’d become famous overnight for his electrifying performance at the Old Vic as Hamlet – all skinny legs, Keith Richards hair stuffed under a beanie and nothing but rave reviews. It struck me that he was completely freaked out, rabbit-in-the-headlights startled 由 the idea that the world would be remotely interested in anything he had to say. The only personal information I extracted was that he’s a cat-lover – ‘the most I ever had at one time is 11’....

Ben Whishaw, who is currently juggling shooting the five-part BBC2 series 伦敦 Spy with his role as Q in Spectre, has just come off set and is adamant that this is the least spy thriller spy thriller 你 can imagine, a far cry from Bond.

“It doesn’t really feel like a spy thriller to me, although it sort of is,” he says, distractedly cradling a hot-water bottle. “It’s broader than that, because it’s about a character who’s not within that world, about somebody who stumbles into it and to whom it’s alien and mystifying. So it doesn’t feel like a traditional spy drama in that...

British actor Ben Whishaw has reportedly been cast as Freddie Mercury in a biopic about the late 皇后乐队 frontman's life.

Whishaw, best known for his role in Skyfall as Q, has also appeared in TV dramas The 小时 and Nathan Barley.

He also played Rolling Stone...

IAR: To begin with, is one of the most exciting aspects of being in a project like this the opportunity to play several different characters and really be part of an ensemble of actors as apposed to being number one 或者 number two on the call sheet? Is that why 你 wanted to be in this movie?

Ben Whishaw: Definitely. None of us really knew what that would entail until we were there doing it. It did create a very special atmosphere and we have to thank Tom Hanks for guiding us in that because he's such a powerful person. There are lots of powerful people in the cast of course, but if he hadn't...
