Before Logan Paul became the internet’s favorite troublemaker, Marvel’s Chloe Bennet saw it coming. Yeah, way before Paul pulled off one of his most infamous moves, the one that left Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson fuming, Bennet gave him a heads-up.
Turns out, Chloe wasn’t just a talented actress, she was smart enough to see where Logan’s chaotic energy was leading him. But did he listen? Nah. And when the dust settled, it wasn’t just fans who were upset—Dwayne Johnson had enough, publicly cutting ties with Paul after his controversial stunt blew up the internet.
Chloe Bennet’s Chilling Warning: Logan Paul’s Japan Scandal Was Inevitable
Logan Paul’s infamous 2017 Japan trip continues to haunt him—and it turns out Marvel star Chloe Bennet saw the storm coming. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Paul revealed that Bennet, his then-girlfriend, had warned him before his most notorious blunder. He recalled what Bennet told him:
Yo, this behavior is going to bite you in the *ss. I don’t know how, I don’t know when, but you’re going to crash and burn.
Her warning came just before Logan Paul uploaded the now-infamous Aokigahara Forest video, which featured the body of a suicide victim. The video sparked international outrage, with many accusing Paul of exploiting suicide for views. Bennet’s cautionary words, though not directly about the video, proved eerily accurate.
Paul admitted that he and Bennet fought just days before heading to Japan. The couple had been planning to spend New Year’s Eve together in Tokyo, but the actor wanted to stay in separate hotels, leading to a heated argument. Bennet’s foresight about his behavior turned out to be on point as the fallout from his actions was brutal. In the same interview, he admitted,
I should have felt empathy. I should have been like, ‘Hey, this is wrong. Let’s not do what we’re doing.’
But his initial apology came off as insincere, with many fans—and even fellow creators—calling him out. Creator Anna Akana tweeted at the time:
That body was a person someone loved. You do not walk into a suicide forest with a camera and claim mental health awareness.
Even Dwayne Johnson, who had collaborated with Paul on multiple videos, cut ties with him after the incident, distancing himself from the fallout. Now, years later, Paul acknowledges his insensitivity during the trip, admitting he was disrespectful everywhere. Yet, in classic Logan Paul fashion, he’s not backing down, saying, “Good luck trying to cancel me.”
Though he’s tried to move on, the internet ain’t forgetting—and neither is Chloe Bennet’s eerie prediction.
Chloe Bennet and Phil Dunster Embark on a Cosmic Road Trip in Hello Out There
Chloe Bennet and Phil Dunster are set to lead the indie film Hello Out There, an Area 51-inspired drama that recently wrapped production in New Mexico. Directed by Otis Blum in his feature debut, the film follows Minnie, a young journalist played by Bennet, and her cousin Rex, a punk rock guitarist portrayed by Dunster. Their road trip to investigate the mysteries of Area 51 soon uncovers much deeper, personal motivations.
Blum, who also penned the script, describes the story as one about connection—both between individuals and the cosmos. He shared “Humans have always looked up at the sky and wondered if anything is looking back.” Bennet (Interior Chinatown, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) and Dunster (Ted Lasso) lead the cast.
