Life and career
Bennett was born on February 9, 1996, in Seal Beach, California , and lives with his parents and sister in Huntington Beach, California , where the family runs a hard rock -themed crêpe restaurant. [2] [3] [4] Bennett also plays guitar and sings on his official YouTube channel. He also wrote and performed the song "Summer Never Ends", which can be heard at the end of Shorts .
Bennett appeared in nearly 30 television advertisements, [5] as well as in episodes of the television series The Guardian and Strong Medicine , before being cast in the role of "Tony", the boy who wants to be the Flash , in the Eddie Murphy comedy Daddy Day Care . He had smaller roles in the films Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy and Arthur Hailey's Detective , and also appeared in Judging Amy , CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and Everwood , and lent his voice to characters in the animated films The Polar Express , The Jungle Book 2 , Winnie the Pooh: Springtime with Roo and I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown .

Sexual assault allegations against Asia Argento
According to documents obtained by The New York Times , a $380,000 settlement was made between Bennett and actress Asia Argento after Bennett claimed that Argento sexually assaulted him in a California hotel room in 2013, when he was 17 and Argento was 37. [7] Bennett said that after the encounter he began to feel "extremely confused, mortified, and disgusted". [8]
Bennett's lawyer wrote that in the years after the incident, Bennett was so traumatized that his job performance, income, and mental health declined. [1] They first met when Bennett played Argento's son in the 2004 film The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things when Bennett was seven years old. [1] He notified Argento that he intended to sue in November 2017, shortly after she went public with rape accusations against Harvey Weinstein . [9] Argento countered that Bennett "sexually attacked" her, and that her partner Anthony Bourdain had arranged to pay $380,000 as part of the settlement. [10] [11]
Bennett and his lawyer, Gordon Sattro, are working with a Los Angeles County Sheriff's investigation regarding the claims of sexual assault against Argento. [12]
