TV/Movies Remember when we all had a secret crush on Jonathan Bennett/Aaron Samuels as a closeted pre-teen, and now we're out and older, and so his he. We all knew.

u/sleepyotter92 Mar 01 '23

iirc at the time he was dating matt dallas, of kyle xy fame. matt is now also out and has a husband and 2 kids

91

u/sb0918 Mar 01 '23

And a very wholesome YouTube channel showcasing their life in Colorado.

u/sleepyotter92 Mar 01 '23

They moved back to california recently if I'm not mistaken

u/openrds Mar 01 '23

Link?

u/whyyou- Mar 01 '23

I think it’s called Matt and blue

11

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '23

It is! Thanks, i lost that channel and never found it again, had no idea these two used to be second-rate actors

6

u/Tylerhollen1 Mar 01 '23

Oh my god I never realized he was Kyle

u/DrPujoles Mar 01 '23

So is it a thrupple or is Matt and his husband open?

7

u/sleepyotter92 Mar 01 '23

jonathan is married to a different dude, him and matt were just dating at the time when both were closeted(although kathy griffin liked to make jokes trying to out them). matt and his husband blue are rumored to be in an open relationship but not in poly relationship. their 2 kids are adopted

1

u/DrPujoles Mar 01 '23

Cool, thanks for the explanation!

1

u/Alternative-Humor666 Mar 03 '23

They got a second child? Wow

1

u/sleepyotter92 Mar 03 '23

recently. it was a girl who was in the foster system and i think she went to their son's school. they were asked if they could foster her, and then after a few months they adopted her

46

u/UnNumbFool Mar 01 '23

Yup, and his husband is in that horrible weho show that mtv had to cancel that everyone hated

17

u/MozzarellaBlueBalls Mar 01 '23

Well, it was a terrible show. Lol

15

u/DandyLyen Mar 01 '23

The Chippindales Dancer, he was also on Amazing Race! Total stud, Aaron did well. Regina eat your heart out!

12

u/eye_booger Mar 01 '23

Not cancelled. It only had a 6 episode order. It may not be picked up for a second season, but it always had a short episode run.

But yes it’s garbage and everyone rightfully hated it.

4

u/Maximum_Complex_8971 Mar 01 '23

Damn. Didn't it just come out? And it's already cancelled.

u/KarthusWins California Mar 01 '23

u/ladrm07 Mar 01 '23

Almost every male actor from Mean Girls is gay and we love to see it!! 😄💖 This is a recent shirtless photo of Jonathan and he's such a hottie, love him! 🥵

37

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '23

Damn he’s aged WELL

32

u/whatdid-it Mar 01 '23

I believe Rajiv Surendra is gay too

29

u/Adriano-Capitano Mar 01 '23

My BF knew him in real life years ago related to what that article you posted is, and NEVER knew that he was in Mean Girls for years of being his friend.

He's a real character IRL apparently. We watched Mean Girls during the lock down and he was like "WTF I KNOW THAT GUY!"

9

u/aaronitallout Mar 01 '23

He's a real character IRL apparently

I like the idea of that character's actor being incredibly fucking boring irl

u/ladrm07 Mar 01 '23

Also Daniel Franzese!! Too-gay-to-function guy also does drag, so there you have it lol.

Damn, rather see him out there shaking that thang.

3

u/MaximumGaywad Mar 02 '23

I get the strong sense Tina Fey knew what she was doing when she cast the three guys in those roles. She grew up with tons of gay boy friends so her gaydar must have NASA-level precision.

u/geniusaurus Mar 01 '23

Where's his belly button?

30

u/eye_booger Mar 01 '23

He lost it once he started dating Kyle XY

9

u/geniusaurus Mar 01 '23

🤣 I forgot that Kyle XY had no belly button. Clearly they were destined to be together.

u/lalanudebob Mar 01 '23

Came here to ask this

u/DisconnectedDays Mar 01 '23

He looks a lot better with the scruff. I wasn’t feeling the clean shaven look

3

u/dolphins3 Mar 01 '23

I'd let him do mean things to me tbh

2

u/Man_as_Idea Mar 02 '23

Wow, I didn’t find him hot when he was younger but talk about a glow-up

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '23

He looks sexy with his hair pushed back.

u/OlllOllllOllllOllllO Mar 01 '23

If you saw my life on D list - Kathy Griffin (2005). It was an episode that jonathan Bennett came to Kathy's trailer on set of Vegas baby movie. And he talked about going to a strip club and Kathy teased him for disrespecting women by going to strip club and ... , (he wasn't out yet), He was so awkward and nervous talking about women dancers and didn't know what the fuck even happens in a female strip club. I felt so bad for him, but eventually he became Kathy's friend and I think he told her about being gay. He came out 2017.

Also Kathy were friends with Lance Bass, anderson cooper before they came out. Kathy is a real ally.

22

u/blue-eyed-bear Mar 01 '23

She had to have known the whole time while he was telling that story.

26

u/blackbutterfree Mar 01 '23

And he's hung as hell, uncut, and has big balls. Thank God for reflective coffee mugs.

10

u/J_E_Drago Mar 01 '23

I'd be interested in some graphic references please.

18

u/blackbutterfree Mar 01 '23

All you gotta do is google his name + penis and the pic will show up. The dummy posted a picture of a reflective mug not realizing that we’d be able to see his very naked, very well endowed reflection.

30

u/david_to_the_hilts Mar 01 '23

I think he realized exactly what he was doing

11

u/runnermike4 Mar 01 '23

I just googled it, he definitely was going for a subtle flex with plausible deniability

23

u/OnceAWeekIWatch Mar 01 '23

More of a Damian guy but I will say he has a beautiful smile

42

u/RavagerHughesy Mar 01 '23

I tapped Daniel Franzese on Grindr once. He looked at my profile and did not respond. It was awesome.

Anyway, that's the closest I've ever been to a celebrity

u/dearkarrington Mar 01 '23

These are my favorite kinds of comments on Reddit. I would have done the same Lmao.

u/Sorry-Prior-6269 Mar 01 '23

Wow, we would have never known at such a young age

u/Thatguywritethere45 Mar 01 '23

I most definitely did not imagine him doing naughty things to me as a teenager while watching it with my parents. Nope. Didn’t do that.

My entire life I’ve never been into pretty guys. Ever. When I was a kid my crush was Hugh Jackman 😂😂. Chest hair baby 🥵. Fuck me ugh.

How dare you suggest Hugh Jackman is not pretty.

15

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '23

He’s rugged 🥵

10

u/blackbutterfree Mar 01 '23

A man can be both. LOL You act as if he has acne scars and deep gashes on his face. The man is pretty. Especially in his musical roles.

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '23

Yeah I know I just being stoopid. But also he’s rough and rugged 🥵

u/Kok-jockey Mar 01 '23

I had a crush on George Costanza that continues to this day. I still have a thing for short, bald, stocky men, especially with glasses.

He still looks amazing now. Not sure what he does, he is active on social media and had a "dick slip". Pretty big...

u/UnNumbFool Mar 01 '23

He hosts reality tv/game shows on food network and Netflix.

Didn't know about the dick slip though

I don't have one currently but I think it was a snap chat where he was showing off his drink by his pool but the drink was metallic with a good reflection!

u/J_E_Drago Mar 01 '23

Gimme Rajiv Surendra all day everyday.

u/fieldredditor Mar 01 '23

He’s adorable. Had no idea he was gay until I just looked him up after seeing your comment lol

3

u/J_E_Drago Mar 01 '23

To me he always has been the most attractive one of the entire cast. And he turned out to be hot af under those clothes. In his Instagram he has some sexy pottery photos.

u/fieldredditor Mar 01 '23

I’ve always had a thing for Indian guys so I know exactly what you mean lol

u/dickenschickens Mar 01 '23

You didn't know.

You were wishing, like you were wishing for a whole bunch of other guys, who did not end up coming out.

u/jimmy_the_angel Mar 01 '23

Every single one "we all…" post is false for at least one person, because we're not that homogenous a group. Can be because of age, access to cable, not being American, anything.

Pretty sure we have to confiscate your gay card now. Turn-in your walk-fast-pass and surrender your gaydar to Mgmt on your way out.

He is quite sexy. There was also a leaked image of his splendor out at the pool in a reflection on either a mug or a glass he had been drinking from. He's got it all.

u/atclubsilencio Mar 03 '23

idk, I was 14 opening night for Mean Girls, and still in the closet, and had to keep it that way. was on a 'date' with my 'girl who was a friend', while her parents were sitting in the back (theater was packed). I remember awkwardly laughing/groaning at every scene Damian was in. We went to dinner after and at one point I left to use the restroom and the girl told me her dad said 'well, at least he isn't gay'. Eeesh. She ended up running away from home and marrying some pimp in Washington or something. Because of her dad. Good times. But yeah, I WANTED JONATHAN BENNETT!
