"Mean Girls" Alum Jonathan Bennett Plays Grool Or Not Grool
The former Aaron Samuels and current Dancing With the Stars contestant weighs in on 23 random things and reveals if they're Grool or Not Grool.
Jonathan Bennett will forever be known to us as Aaron Samuels, the high school stud who looked sexy with his hair pushed back in Mean Girls. Now he's competing on ABC's Dancing With The Stars, where he's currently showing off his moves on the dance floor, which is pretty fetch. Jonathan stopped by BuzzFeed's Los Angeles office to play a little game of Grool or Not Grool. We asked him to tell us whether he thought a bunch of a random things were grool or not, and here's what happened.
Responding to a text message with "K"
"I hate texting and I'm way too hyper to spell out a full sentence."
Hummus
"It's healthy!"
Being fashionably late
"Especially during Dancing With the Stars. If I'm not on time, Allison [Holker, his partner] gets super mad."
Crocs
"Let me tell you why: I thought they were cool at first because they came out when I was in college and the coolest kid in the school had Crocs so I went and bought them because they were cool. But my chicken legs do not look good in Crocs."
Shopping at Ikea
"Half of my house is Ikea. Where else do you shop? I love it because you can get meatballs and dressers and ice cream."
90-degree weather
"I sweat a lot. I'm a sweater. I sweat through all my clothes. I'm disgusting."
One Direction
"You guys are mean."
Game of Thrones
"I don't watch it, but I like it."
Wearing a denim shirt with jeans
"I think I saw Robbie Amell wear that once. Maybe it was Stephen Amell. Not Grool."
The way Viola Davis says How to Get Away With Murder
"Relax. Relax!"
Snapchat
"I don't understand it. I don't have a Snapchat."
Selfies
"I take a lot of them."
High-speed car chases
"Dangerous. Innocent people. Get over it."
Buying a one-way ticket to Mars
"I would 100% colonize Mars."
Waiting in line at Trader Joe's
"I just don't like the bell system. I don't understand the ding-ding-ding-ding. They ring the bell and a manager comes. Why? WHY?!?"
Fanny packs
"I would wear a fanny pack if I had one."
People who check their phone during a movie
"It's the light. I can't deal. It's the light from the screen. And then I'm the guy behind you reading what you're saying to the person you're sexting. 'Oh, I know what you're doing after the movie.'"
Sarah Jessica Parker, post-Sex and the City
Breaking up over the phone
"It's way easier."
Being gluten-free
"I just have way too many things to do to search Los Angeles for quinoa."
Tinder
"That's the swipe, right? Grool because my buddy is on it all the time and I guess he gets lucky from it, so there you go."
Being called Aaron Samuels in real life
"I get it every day. Every single day of my life for the past 10 years. But I don't know what it would be like to live life the other way. Like, I don't know what it would be like to go through a day without someone yelling at you on the street, 'AARON SAMUELS!' That's so normal to me that I don't know what it would be like to not have that."
