In May 2004, a spidery-limbed, hollow-cheeked unknown walked onto the stage at the Old Vic and sent electric shocks of excitement through the auditorium. Playing Hamlet, aged 23, Ben Whishaw was one of the youngest Danish princes ever to commandeer the stage at this theatre, yet some critics felt they had witnessed a performance which could rank alongside those of Richard Burton, Laurence Olivier, John Gielgud and Peter O’Toole. One reviewer declared that ‘Whishaw, with his light, tremulous voice, painfully thin body, and the kind of cheekbones that will have adolescent girls swooning in...

Bond 별, 스타 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 당신 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...

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 의해 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’....
