He`s not suppose to be "hot"; Dorian has such beauty that it becomes his curse. So in my oppinion, Barnes is not good enough for the role.

"I thought Dorian and Sybil didn't have sex? What did I miss?" It never said in the book that they didn't. It didn't say they did, either. I suppose it's open for interpretation.

"I thought Dorian and Sybil didn't have sex? What did I miss?" it's a movie, everything is chaged, is like the character of Emily Wotton (Henry Wotton's daughter), it doesnt appears in the book and its in the movie. its a movie based in a book, like other films, they changed the history a little bit.
