Twitter X today yet (or you live in blissful ignorance), it’s Mean Girls Day! The annual viral celebration was born out of a moment in the 2004 teen comedy when hottie Aaron Samuels asks new girl Cady Heron (Lindsay Lohan) what day it is. Spoiler alert: it was October 3.It’s safe to say the internet has leaned in hard. This year, Paramount uploaded the entire film to TikTok in 23 parts and the upcoming film adaptation of the Broadway musical unveiled its key art.Still, no one celebrates the day as hard as Aaron Samuels himself: our favorite gay hottie Jonathan Bennett.

His social media game is truly on point.A post shared by Tinder (@tinder)That being said, he isn’t above poking fun at the movie’s cult status. In an Instagram Story post, Bennett wrote, “Raise your hand if it’s a wierd [sp] day to be you. (Thanks for the love.)”The Halloween Wars host is currently en route to Cape Town, South Africa alongside his hunky hubby Jaymes Vaughan for an upcoming excursion with their gay travel business OUTbound.
The couple, who tied the knot in March 2022, help curate international cruises geared towards LGBTQ+ inclusivity and safety.They’re also adorable on social media.In another Instagram Story post, Bennett shared a hilarious video of Vaughan (who recently appeared on Real Friends of WeHo) going to town with a sanitizing wipe on the plane. “My husband is a germ-a-phobe,” he wrote, as Vaughan made their seats spick and span. We can’t blame him.
