The goof, the jokester, the class clown, all are familiar to him. He’s the one who will diffuse tension with a joke and always look to put a smile on the people he’s around.
Spotted!! Benjamin Van der Woodsen-Whitney making their way down the streets of the Upper East Side. Many say that the 24 year old looks like Charles Melton, but i don’t really see it. While they’re known for being empathetic, my inside sources say that they have a tendency to be clingy and desperate to please. I’ve heard it through the grapevine that he secretly resents his parents and the upper class world he's been raised in. But that’s one secret i’ll never tell.
-The second son of Eric Van der Woodsen and Jonathan Whitney, he was adopted as a baby.
-Extremely close with his older brother Colton, the two were nearly inseperable as children.
-Was initially bullied at the prestigious school his parents sent him to, but adopted a persona of the class clown to ingratiate himself
-Never took school seriously, was far more interested in sports and having fun.
-Dated a lot as a teen, but discovered that he was searching for a deeper connection. A true romantic, he’s now searching for his soul mate.
-Uses his jokester persona to hide his trauma and resentment at the life he has been given.
-When he turned 18, he researched his biological family and resented the fact that the state took him instead of giving his birth mother the help she needed.
-Got serious about school junior year and was able to get into Columbia with some help from his family, where he worked hard to earn a degree in history
-Played on the Columbia mens soccer team all 4 years, but wasn’t good enough to go pro
-After graduating, has started doing part-time modeling while also playing semi-pro soccer. He’s been struggling to find a true direction for his life.
-His resentment of the luxurious lifestyle has only grown as he’s gotten older, the more he thinks about how ‘lucky’ he is and how many kids like him didn’t get the life he was given.
-He longs to find someone who he can show his true self to, but instead has many surface level friends who think of him as an unserious airhead/clown.
