Okay, imagine this: Dan Benson, the former Disney Channel goofball who charmed audiences as Zeke Beakerman, is now an adult film star—yes, you read that right, and he’s totally embracing it. And just when you thought Disney drama was for teen vampires and angsty superheroes, former Wizards of Waverly Place co-star David Henrie decided to throw some major shade his way in a recent video that’s basically gone viral faster than you can say “Zeke Beakerman, adult star.”
In this now-legendary video clip from Wizards Beyond Waverly Place, David, along with the rest of the new cast, took a Buzzfeed quiz to find out which Wizards character they’d be (y’know, serious life choices here). But it got interesting when they hit a question asking which recurring character from the original series they’d want to bring on as a guest. Naturally, Dan’s character, Zeke, was in the mix.
David’s reaction? Let’s call it… eyebrow-raising. He chuckled, gave this snarky “I can’t believe you guys even put him here,” and slyly tossed out, “Millennials understand.” Oh, buddy, we understand all right.
Dan saw the clip, and his reaction? Pure comedy gold. He tweeted, “David Henrie can suck my d–k. I’ll pay him more than Wizards ever did, I promise you that.” Mic drop. Boom. Apparently, Dan’s money spells are stronger than David’s right now, and he’s not holding back.
Then came Dan’s TikTok response, where he zoomed in on the Wizards Beyond Waverly Place premiere, panning around like a disappointed mom looking for her missing kids. “Where were David DeLuise and Jennifer Stone? Like, what?!?” He even threw in a nod to Max Russo—good old Jake T. Austin—like, “Guys, am I the only one here? Did y’all ghost the magic reunion?”
And in case you thought this beef wasn’t sizzling enough, David Henrie took the mature route and straight-up blocked Dan on Twitter/X. Yup, shut that door! Dan, the king of hilariously petty responses, immediately posted a “betrayed best friend” video about it. “We pretended to be best friends for years. How could you do this to me??” RIP, indeed.
So, moral of the story: the Wizards of Waverly Place cast may be older, but the drama is just as juicy. David might’ve hit “block,” but Dan’s living his best, most hilarious revenge tale on social media, and we’re all here for it. 🧙✨
