Video “Wizards of Waverly Place’s Dan Benson Says David Henrie BLOCKED Him After Reboot Criticism | E! News” was uploaded on 10/31/2024 to Youtube Channel E! News
DeLouise pronounced Day-loo-ees. David's dad was Dom DeLouise a legendary comedian, his brother Peter is a director & his brother Matt is also an actor like him
I mean adult entertainment and children programming doesn’t mix. Did he expect to return?
I feel bad for Dan. He just wishes he could be a part of it. He isn’t even wrong about anything. He’s sad, he knows it’s because he pursued only fans.
He’s also kinda right, they are messed up for not inviting Jen or David when they’re the ones who have been supplying the fans with content for so long on YouTube, and they probably helped get wizards rebooted in the first place by generating some buzz around wizards. I think people had lost hope there would be anymore wizards until Jen and David came out with their podcast.
Zeke need fight david zeus shiii 🤪
I don't understand what Dan's problem is
Who cares if they didn't pick you for the reboot?
Its alright if he disagrees with the decision. I don't know that I agree with it. But I understand it, and I don't think it's disrespectful or throwing shade
He's the one throwing shade by making them out to be bad guys when they're not. From what I can tell in this video they haven't said anything disrespectful about him, they're not censoring him or pretending he doesn't exist, so what's the problem?
Just watch and enjoy it like everyone else. If I were him I would just express my gratitude to have been a part of it in the past
Like if I were him I would've maybe reached out so they could get together and record some videos for social media to promote the show.
Not be upset and make it into a bigger deal than it is and making unnecessary drama
This reboot’s gonna fail
Dan looks really good
Pretty sure David is a Bible thumper sooooo
Kids going to have a lot of drama to talk about in elementary school tomorrow smh
Are we gonna ignore mini alex knowing about Dan's profession? 🤔
Probably the only person who would make sense would be mason Juliet is an ex plus she runs a space company 😂
Considering Dan Benson’s current line of work, serves him right.
Did people forget that David Deluise has 'leaked' nudes online?? So I'd doubt Disney wants him on either…
David is really werid. If I was dan, I wouldn't care about him.
Why would Disney hire a pornstar?
No offense to Dan but I don’t think David wants to be around someone who works in that industry not just personally but also professionally… David is an Executive Producer on the reboot along with Selena and it’s meant to be a kid friendly/family show … being adult entertainment on the side is very inappropriate
It’s quite interested in why David Deluise & Jennifer Stone didn’t go to the premiere, despite the two of them having a podcast based on the show
He didn't expect to be hired, he's self aware, he raised the question of why Jennifer and David aren't there. How is that a reason to be blocked?
I get he’s upset but it’s so immature to cry on TikTok about it. Like get over yourself 🙄
Doing adult work and being on the show don’t mix. Unfollowing or blocking is a good idea, and I don’t think it’s spiteful because it’s precautionary. you don’t wanna see a bunch of… things showing up your timeline. However, I do feel that Henry’s comments were very intentional and unnecessary. I wonder if they set him up 😂. Dan Benson is one of those former child stars who like to keep reminding us of very old work they’ve done to keep themselves relevant somehow. Like no one cares about that anymore. He needs to let Disney go and move on from it.
……..
Why is this important exactly??
It doesn’t really say much about the reboot 😑
I like the reboot honestly
It’s fun
Lets face it who hasn't David Henrie blocked or cried his eyes over at this point. The fact he's so desperate he went crawling back to Disney after years of bad mouthing and claiming he hated everything even about the show. He's another liberal hypocrite. You can go after Dan Benson for working in the adult entertainment, but the fact is at least he vets the people he works with since we all know how many "child touchers" are involved in Disney productions, especially the kids shows. Ask yourself the question, a minor doing auditions shouldn't be sleeping with adults for roles and David Henrie has been named in many, many of the files released and he's covering up things that go on for his check.
A few things; David Henrie is a devoted Christian. Has been since the beginning of Wizards. I’m sure he doesn’t wanna follow a man who posts the things he does. I also would’ve been shocked as well reading Zeke’s character on the list because of what Dan does now. Disney has always, always, always been VERY strict about stuff like that.
Dan’s comment rjyst shows his character…. Or lack thereof. He really could’ve just left it alone but instead had to make a crude comment. Gross.
The reboot literally makes no sense, in the original Jerry looses his powers because he marries a mortal and we do not find out until later in season 1. But somehow in this show not only can he KEEP his powers but he lies to his children and wife about it??? He failed ONCE and he decided to give up magic all together while Alex always messed up in the original show and never stopped fighting back and became the family wizard? Max becomes a billionaire because they didn't want him on the show either……Disney is really telling on themselves now.
I can’t believe people actually thinks Dan is sad 😂 I don’t think he cares at all and he’s just trying to create some buzz to promote his OF
