Ben plays the role of Beckett in the movie, a character we’re sure you’re going to love. But not more than you’ll come to love the real actor behind the character!

Without further ado, here’s everything to know about Ben!

How old is Ben Cook?

Does Ben Cook have an Instagram?

If you’re ready to become a huge fan of Ben, the best place to start is his Instagram, @bentylercook. The American actor’s social media account feels straight out of a travel magazine, as it is filled with pictures of the various places Ben has visited such as Los Angeles, London, and New York City. (See his aesthetically pleasing photo in NYC here.)

Is Ben Cook single?

From the looks of his Instagram, we want to go on a whim and say that Ben Cook is, indeed, in a relationship. Our indication stems from a photo featuring him receiving a kiss from a very beautiful girl, Gaby, with the caption, “Let’s keep going places together?” What’s more, Gaby’s Instagram, @itsgabydiaz, is also filled with tons of photos of the pair, so it’s safe to assume that the two are romantically involved.
