Ariana Grande's 'Thank U, Next' Video: Small Details You Missed

Did the actor playing the Aaron Samuels character in Grande's ode to Mean Girls look familiar? He should because that is the original Aaron Samuels, Jonathan Bennett, and good thing, too. Who else could play the guy whose hair looks sexy pushed back?

Did the actor playing the Aaron Samuels character in Grande's ode to Mean Girls look familiar? He should because that is the original Aaron Samuels, Jonathan Bennett, and good thing, too. Who else could play the guy whose hair looks sexy pushed back?

Before the "Thank U, Next" video debuted, Bennett took to Instagram to share a selfie with Grande on the music video's set. "Aaron [heart] Regina. Thank U, Next," he wrote in the caption. The timing of his role in the video likely couldn't have come at a better time for Bennett, as he released his Mean Girls-inspired cookbook, The Burn Cookbook: An Unofficial Unauthorized Cookbook for Mean Girls Fans, with co-author Nikki Martin in October 2018. He took full advantage of this opportunity by getting Grande to pose with the cookbook for a social media post. He also appears to carry The Burn Cookbook through the halls in one scene of the music video. Most people can't dream of that kind of publicity for their project!

Oh, and that woman in the beginning of "Thank U, Next" that says she had a guy propose to her just so she could end an engagement like Grande? That's actress Stefanie Drummond, who played Bethany Byrd in Mean Girls. You know, the one with the "heavy flow and a wide-set vagina" who Regina George punched in the face once? Yeah, her.
