Barnes Injured on Dawn Treader Set

Hollywood.com writes: “While [Ben Barnes was] filming scenes with co-star Skandar Keynes earlier this week, a sword stunt backfired – and Barnes had to receive treatment for an injury to his mouth. He says, ‘We’ve been sword fighting. It didn’t go quite according to plan – I’ve got a slightly swollen lip, because I got popped with the sword by young Skandar Keynes.’ ” Apparently Ben recovered just fine as we’ve seen him many times in pictures this week.

    Aww, poor Ben! I'm glad he's fine, though.

  3. Lutra's Pearl says:

    Hehehe! I like the "popped" and "the young Skander Keynes." I am glad that it wasn't anything big. Didn't Skander hut Will's knee in PC when they were sword fighting once? Keep the story of Aslan alive!

    The young Skandar Keynes? He's 18, an adult… he isn't that young. And it's not like Ben is an old geezer either lol. Glad he's alright though. It makes an interesting story to tell.

  15. Princess Arya says:

  46. NarniaQueen411 says:

    Wow, this guy is accident-prone isn't he! first he rides a horse into a tree during filming of his other movie, and now he hits his lip! i hope no one falls off the boat next. – that would be terrible –

  47. NarniaQueen411 says:

    although i would like to have seen Skandar; probably completely surprised followed by horrendous laughter πŸ˜€
    I cant wait to see the movie!!

  48. true-narnian_queen says:

    Oh so gald he is okay!!! i guess Edmund did not like the idea of Caspian being king!LOL!!!!!!!!!SAIL ON VDT!!!! LOVE YA BEN!!!!

  49. caspian&star4ever says:

    OMG. I got so nervous when I saw the headline about Ben getting injured but at least this wasn't too bad. -sighs relieved-
    Love you Ben!!

  50. The Bulgy Bear says:

    I wonder, what would they do if Ben or one of the other main actors got seriously injured (let's hope the situation never comes)? Would they have to suspend the movie? Or would they have to find a new actor?

  51. Book_Wyrm says:

    Been there, brother. I blew myself up reenacting the English Civil Wars. A spark from my musket got in my cartridges and turned me into a live roman candle. I got off easy, with second degree burns on my right arm, and the nickname 'Sparky'. I wonder if they'll call him "Sweet Lips" or "Slugger" or something :-D.

  52. Lady Polly says:

    I'm glad he's okay hey accidents happen.

  53. Puddleglum says:

    A good thing the young King didn't lose his head.

  54. Affy-Ann says:

    I'm really happy he's better now. Thank God. =)

  55. Affy-Ann says:

    A very good thing. I don't even want to think it, Puddleglum. XP

  56. Fire Fairy says:

    Clever! Fits perfectly!

  57. Fire Fairy says:

    It's a very good thing I saw some comments on this in another article, so I didn't get a heart attack like some people did. I guess acting sometimes is a bit risky, especially when you're doing a stunt yourself, rather than relinquishing it to a double.

  58. relientkfan says:

    haha, didn't in the PC complementary skandar said that he got a swollen lip right before they did a face shot or something like that? and then he gives ben a swollen lip??? hahaha
