The Comment That Started It All
During the BuzzFeed interview, cast members were asked to pick a returning guest star. Henrie’s response, “I can’t believe you guys put one of these people on here. Millennials understand that,” gained over 10.3 million views online.
Benson took to social media with a bold response, offering to pay Henrie more than his Disney salary for a specific interaction. The exchange sparked numerous social media reactions, with fans sharing their thoughts about the former co-stars’ relationship.
When news of Wizards Beyond Waverly Place broke, Benson asked his followers on X: “So do they just act like Zeke never existed or do they replace me with an imposter Zeke?”
He later added some humour to the situation: “They can’t afford me anymore,” referring to his successful digital content career where he’s created over 600 videos for his subscribers.
The interaction took an interesting turn when Benson discovered Henrie had blocked him on X, leading to a playful video response: “We pretended to be best friends for years. How could you do this to me?”
Benson continues to build his digital presence with daily content for his followers, showing that success comes in many forms.
