Bella Thorne's 'Shake It' Video Wasn't Meant to Be Controversial: 'It Was About Having Fun' Bella Thorne and Benjamin Mascolo. Jacopo Raule/Getty The pair recently co-starred in the romance flick Time Is Up, released in September 2021, and attended several red carpet events including Rome Film Fest together to promote the film. They spoke to TooFab around the release of Time Is Up, which marked Mascolo's acting debut. "In general, to act with someone for their first time and [them] being the lead of the movie is so difficult for anyone, and so rare that it even happens," Thorne said at the time. "So, going into it, I didn't know what it was gonna be like. I just trusted Ben," she continued. "He was a natural right off the bat, and that takes a long time to learn in this industry." "We never had a fight ever the whole entire time we were filming, like there was never a new issue, so it was really just smooth sailing, the whole time," Thorne added. "I've also never worked with someone that I've dated. So for me I was like, 'I don't know.' But it was great." Elsewhere in the interview, Mascolo opened up about the process of working with a romantic partner. "It's beautiful to have this as a stepping stone of our relationship, and we fell even more in love on this movie because … It's the first time we would work together, and so many hours a day, we have a lot of stress and a lot of responsibility, and we just went for it," he told the outlet. "We came out on the other side and we were stronger as a couple, it was a win-win on everything."
