Jonathan Bennett thinks Ariana Grande is so fetch!
The “Mean Girls” alum reprised his iconic role as Aaron Samuels in Ariana Grande’s music video for her bop, “Thank U, Next,” which is debuting today.
“When you get the phone call that they want you to play Aaron Samuels in Ariana Grande’s new music video that’s going to be the biggest hit of… the past decade… I was so excited because it’s part of pop culture,” he told Access. “And getting to link up with the girl who is the biggest pop star in the world right now and collaborate and make something that fans are just gonna go crazy over was a real treat.”
When it came to talking about working alongside the “God Is A Woman” singer, Jonathan had nothing but kind things to say about her.
“There’s been very few people in life I’ve been around that have the x factor and a certain energy that just is so warm and kind,” he said about Ari. “Her and the Kennedys I’d say are the two people (sic) I’ve been around that are the most generous, kind people I’ve ever met.”
The video is teeing up to break the internet and has a major cameo from one of the Kardashians, and while Jonathan wouldn’t reveal which member of the family it was, he thinks fans are going to think the cameo is totally grool.
“I know (who) it is, and it’s going to make people very happy,” he said.
While a Kardashian will be appearing in the video (fingers crossed that it’s Kris Jenner as Regina’s mom!) Lindsay Lohan will not, as she is living it up in Mykonos, and Jonathan told Access he would love to visit!
“I would definitely go to Lindsay’s beach house!” he revealed. “I plan on going there sometime.”
“Mean Girls” isn’t going anywhere in terms of its popularity, which is one of the reasons Bennett released “The Burn Cookbook: An Unathorized Cookbook for Mean Girls Fans,” which Ari proudly held in a recent Instagram post.
“The reason I did the book is because I wanted to bring joy to people because ‘Mean Girls’ makes people so happy,” he told Access.
Jonathan is a very busy man. On top of releasing a cookbook, starring in “Thank U, Next,” and hosting “Cake Wars,” he also is starring in a Hallmark movie called “Christmas Made To Order” alongside Alexa PenaVega.
“I’m excited to finally get to work with Alexa PenaVega,” he told Access. “‘Christmas Made To Order’ is by far my favorite Hallmark movie I’ve shot.”
“Christmas Made To Order” debuts on Dec. 23 at 8pm/7c.
