Ben Hardy

“L.A. is big, although Hollywood's not as glamorous as I thought; it's kind of grungy.”

“Working with Mrs. Clarke at The Gryphon School is when I really began to think of acting as a potential career.”

“I love theater. I really want to go back to it.”

“You're always aware that only eight per cent of actors are in work at one time, so you've got to be thankful for the job you've got and do the best you can.”

“I didn't actually grow up in London.”

“I don't regret being topless in certain things, but there were some things in 'EastEnders' where there was no reason for me to be topless.”

“When my family first found out about my part in 'EastEnders' they were happy for me and very supportive.”
