A week after British actor Ben Barnes got back home to Los Angeles, where he is based, the California governor issued a statewide stay-at-home order (on March 19) to help combat the spread of Covid-19. Since then, the 38-year-old actor has been staying put, obeying the order.

He told StarLifestyle via a telephone interview: “I was in Budapest, Hungary, for six months shooting a new TV show (upcoming Netflix series Shadow And Bone), and just got home. I've been following this order for almost three weeks now, just being extra cautious... And so, yeah, this is where I am.”
