Benielle: It's Complicated

Six

Ben's POV:

I've said before that growing up in a pre-social media world is a lot different. The only people you were really avoiding was the odd paparazzi – who frankly weren't that interested in us anyway, along with morning talk shows and late night television. Now, though... wow! I'm in my 30s and I still feel mesmerized being thrown in front of cameras being interviewed. I love the camera and always have, but I feel like you have to be a little more careful now these days with interviews because the people online break down every little tiny word you say. I'm not going to lie though – interviews with Danielle are the best. I swear I forget the camera is even there and we relish in the moment of fun. The majority of our GMW interviews were right before the show premiered its first season, and it made me a little sad that she couldn't make it out to a lot of the press events. Don't get me wrong – I love our cast – but sometimes I just don't want to be there without her. I try to keep my spirits lifted while I'm at events with the kids... but mama needs to be there! My wifey, my best friend, my rock. You can probably notice that in every interview we do together, I embrace it and nestle up right next to her. We're two peas in a pod and I love it.

Danielle's POV:

Oh, interviews with Ben are the best! It's unfortunate that I don't make it out to a lot of them, but when I do, it's an absolute riot. I swear Ben has the youngest soul on the show. He is such a goofy kid inside! I think Cory and Topanga work because they're both kind of weird, but if Ben and I were together 24/7 he would definitely drive me insane. But I love him for it. We are always laughing about something. Plus, Ben and I can speak with our facial expressions. Watch closely during interviews and once in a while you'll see us smile at each other with a look in our eyes that speaks volumes. There's a lot we communicate about that nobody really picks up on. I'm telling you... Nobody knows us like we know each other. Not even my darling husband has reached that level. Ben and I have just known each other for so long, much of that time during our critical years of growing up, that we know just about every intimate secret. I trust Ben with my life. Years of friendship also leads to an endless supply of inside jokes, of course, so you might see those pop up every so often in interviews too. It's just us being real!
