Dan Benson has revealed that David Henrie blocked him after he criticized Wizards Beyond Waverly Place.

Since Wizards beyond Waverly Place, was announced, The Wizards of Waverly Place Fans were excited to see which stars from the original series would appear in the reboot.

David Henrie, who plays Justin in the original series, is one of the main cast, and Selena Gomez guest stars as Alex Russo. However, the rest of the ensemble cast are all entirely new characters.

As a result, fans are speculating whether stars such as Gregg Sulkin, David DeLuise and Jennifer Stone will appear in the series. Additionally, people wondered if Zeke actor Dan Benson would return.

Now Dan has posted on X/Twitter that he was blocked on the platform by his former co-star David Henrie. But why? What is the crux of the matter between these two? We know that.

Why? The Wizards of Waverly Place Is Actor David Henrie Blocking Co-Star Dan Benson?

On October 29th, Dan Benson reacted to pictures of Wizards Beyond Waverly Place Premiere tweeted: “Okay, of course I know why I wasn't invited, but where the hell are David DeLuise and Jennifer Stone??”

Dan, along with a number of fans, noted that actors David and Jennifer play Jerry Russo and Harper Finkle in the original The Wizards of Waverly Place and who is hosting The Wizards of Waverly Pod pocast, were missing from the action.

One fan commented: “It's a crime that they're not there.”

Back in January, rumors began circulating that David would be a guest star in the reboot after the actor posted a picture on Instagram with David Henrie, Selena Gomez and Maria Canals-Barrera. He captioned it: “The Russians are coming back.”

However, it looks like those hopes may be dashed after neither David nor Jennifer showed up to the premiere.

And it looks like Dan's decision to draw attention to the missing cast didn't go down well with everyone. Just 10 hours after his tweet, Dan revealed to all his followers that David Henrie had quietly blocked him on X/Twitter.

In a TikTok video, Dan jokingly captioned the post: “We pretended to be best friends for years. How could you do this to me?”

David didn't explain why he blocked Dan, but it's possible it was related to his comments about David and Jennifer.

Dan always wanted nothing but the best for the restart. In an interview with TMZ, he said: “I hope it doesn’t suck. I really hope this new show captures the amazing, just magical – no pun intended – years we spent together creating this show… There's so much potential in it and I'm just so excited.”

Why won't Dan Benson be there? Wizards Beyond Waverly Place?

If the Wizards Beyond Waverly Place was first announced, said Dan Benson TMZ that he didn't expect to be invited to appear on the show since he now works in adult entertainment.

Dan said: “I think it's super exciting that fans can relive their childhood and the old characters they used to enjoy watching are coming back. I liked the premise and the new idea they are doing for it.”

The other side of me is very sad because I know that I definitely won't be there. This is all my fault. I completely understand it. I made choices… I jumped at the chance to bring back the character I played when I decided to take this path as an adult content creator. I understand it.”

Dan currently makes a living as a full-time content creator for OnlyFans. He further elaborated on his thoughts on the reboot, saying, “I'm super happy and I'm like, 'Damn.'” For me it's a mix of emotions right now. Do I think they can't bring my character back? The short answer is: yes.

He continued: “I think I put them in a situation where they have no choice. “You can't reasonably restore my character without bringing back all the weight that my personal choices have caused… That's it.” It's crazy to create adult content, and it's even crazier to do so publicly and a former child actor being from a Disney Channel show.

Dan also had some pretty harsh words towards David Henrie after he made it seem like he had “shaded” him and his current work in an interview with BuzzFeed.

The clip has since been viewed a million times and Dan has now retweeted the clip himself, writing: “David Henrie can blow me. I’ll pay him more than they paid me.” wizard I promise you that.”
