Why David Henrie Supports Benny Blanco, Selena Gomez’s Costar
Selena Gomez
isn’t the only one who loves
Benny Blanco
like a love song, baby.
Her
Wizards of Waverly Place costar
David Henrie thinks the music producer is a “super cool dude” after they recently had their “first sit-down hangout” together.
“He orders great Italian food,” David exclusively told
E! News correspondent
Will Marfuggi at the Aug. 22 premiere of
Only Murders in the Building‘s fourth season, premiering Aug. 27. “He ordered a ton of stuff.”
In fact, the 35-year-old said Benny—whose real name is
Benjamin Levin—introduced him to polenta Bolognese.
“He called it adult baby food ‘cause that was the texture,” David shared. “It was delicious!” (For more of David’s interview, tune into

The Disney star has been longtime friends with Selena, having played her onscreen brother during
Wizards of Waverly Place‘s initial four-season run from 2007 to 2012. Now that they’re starring in its sequel series
Wizards Beyond Waverly Place, David also got familiar with the singer’s boyfriend on set.
