Ben said : '' `` Some actors can chart their journey through their script , but we had hair charts .

That 's basically how we developed our characters . '' '' The 29-year-old actor , who has experienced crowds of screaming girls as he walked the red carpet at Narnia premieres , admits he 'd like to be a musician , but insists he does n't value rock star adulation . Ben said : '' `` Rock bands are up there to do their thing . That 's what they love - to stand on the stage and do that lunge , strut and strum . '' `` Actors are n't there to walk down a red carpet and wave , that is n't our dream . The dream is to be on a set . '' '' : : Killing Bono is in cinemas now .
