Is He Gay? Wife Or Girlfriend?

Ben Barnes has raised a lot of curiosity with regards to his sexuality as the actor has openly thrown his weight behind the LGBT community. Moreso, he has also been cast as a gay man in a couple of his movies like in Dorian Gray. Also, Ben Barnes has been cast as gay in the Westworld sitcom which is one of his popular works so far. Although it has not been proven for certain that Ben is gay, the speculations are still hovering around him.
