The One With The Hot Guy From Mean Girls with Jonathan Bennett
Manage episode 316698314 series 2941477
Jonathan Bennett played Aaron Samuels, the hot guy in one of THE most iconic movies of our teenage generation, Mean Girls. In 2017, Jonathan publicly came out as gay, perhaps crushing those teenage crushes we all had on him, but making the teenage dreams of many LGBT youth come true. Johnny has more recently starred as the lead in Hallmark’s history-making first Christmas movie featuring a gay lead character during the holiday season the whole world needed hope the most, 2020.
In this episode we dive into what it was like trying to step out of a classic character like Aaron Samuels shoes; why he chose to step back into them for his Burn Cookbook and Ariana Grande’s ‘Thank You, Next’ video; and his experience coming out privately versus publicly. We also get his two cents on representation, fictional portrayal being accurate to someone’s non-fiction life experience and advice for young people listening or parents/friends/employers listening on creating a safe, accepting environment for people to be confident and comfortable being themselves.
