“Oh man, there are so many great arguments for both,” he said. “Paxton, I think, really shows his true colors in how he cares for Devi and saves her from parties twice and rushes her to the hospital.”

But the actor was a bit tougher on his on-screen competition.

“Ben is never in a hurry to act. And, for one, Ben is in a relationship,” he added.

But, this interviewer had to ask: What about that popular girl Paxton is always flirting with at school?

“It’s just an adventure,” he said. “Obviously, they’re the two hottest people in school and everyone thinks they should be together, so they flirt, but he’s not in a relationship like Ben is.”

Fair enough.

“Again, I think Ben and her are more compatible in a lot of ways,” he admitted. “But sometimes you meet someone so similar to you that it can be a bad thing. Opposites attract sometimes, and Paxton and Devi are enough opposites. But also, the more you get to know them together, the more you realize how similar they are, in a way.”

If it wasn’t clear where Barnet was – “They’re Team Paxton,” he said.
