Dan Benson is clapping back after David Henrie dished out some wizardly shade.
The Wizards of Waverly Place sequel series Wizards Beyond Waverly Place has officially begun streaming and the cast is making their rounds to promote it. But one interview in particular caught fans’ attention because David — AKA Justin Russo — MAJORLY shaded his old co-star.
During a video for BuzzFeed, which was posted on Tuesday, David and co. are asked who from the OG show they’d want to see return for a “guest star” role on WBWP. The names to choose from included Bridgit Mendler, Gregg Sulkin, Hayley Kiyoto, Skyler Samuels, Josh Sussman, and, of course, David/Justin’s in-universe BFF Zeke Beakerman, played by Dan. And when he read that name, the 35-year-old said:
“I can’t believe you guys put one of these people on here. Millennials understand that.”
In case you didn’t know, once a comedic actor, Dan is now a prolific OnlyFans content creator. We’re talking fully nude, XXX stuff. Apparently David doesn’t think his presence would be appropriate for a Disney show anymore. You can watch the awkward moment (below):
For what it’s worth, our vote would be for more Selena Gomez! Obvi! Ha!
On X (Twitter), one user shared the clip adding the caption, “David Henrie shaded Dan benson ( Zeke ) because of his new career path,” and Dan was CLEARLY bothered by it. He brazenly responded:
“David Henrie can suck my d**k. I’ll pay him more than they paid me for Wizards I promise you that.”
David Henrie can suck my dick. I’ll pay him more than they paid me for Wizards I promise you that.

Holy s**t!!!
David subsequently blocked Dan on the social media app, which prompted the OF model to respond once more. On Instagram, he shared a video of himself dramatically reacting to being blocked by David. And he added quite the sarcastic caption:
“We pretended to be best friends for years. How could you do this to me??”
Awkward, awkward, AWKWARD! Reactions, Perezcious readers??
