RG Beefcake and Boyfriends: Ben and Matt Royer: Disney /Nick teencom twins grow up, become journalists, one dates guys. With Matt and bf d*cks

If you were watching the Disney Channel or Nickelodeon between 2015 and 2020, you saw twin brothers Ben and Matt Royer. They were everywhere, playing conniving, mischievous, silly, or virtuous twins.

The brothers were born in Tarzana, California in 2003 and began acting in 2013, playing Vince and Vance Hodges in the sports comedy Back in the Game. Griffin Gluck also appeared.

Next came the Nickelodeon teencom 100 Things to Do Before High School (2015-16) had the standard three friends, white male (Owen Patrick Joyner), black male (Jaheem Toombs), and female, giving advice like "say yes to everything for a day," "stay up all night," "adopt a flour baby," "meet your idol," and "get your heart pre-broken." Ben and Matt played Benji and Enzo Froman.

Chazz Nittolo played Gorgeous Eighth Grade Boy. In 2025, he's 25 years old. Not bad.

While working on 100 Things, the twins were cast on the Disney Channel's Best Friends Whenever (2015-16): Two teenage girls and their buddy Barry (Gus Kamp) jump back in time, mostly to the recent past so they can determine why their new lab partner is a jerk or Barry can meet his science hero. Ben and Matt play Brett and Chet Marcus, the younger brothers of one of the girls, with crushes on the other.

I don't know if the actor Gus Kamp (left) is the same as the trans singer August Kamp.

A lot of twin guest spots followed, including episodes of Pickles & Peanut (as Crabmeat and Umbrella), White Famous (Milo and Otis),The Guest Book (Henry and Hank), and Night Court (as Grant and Brant)

Ben also got non-twin roles on Young Sheldon and American Born Chinese, and in the movie The Happytime Murders (2018).

The twins hosted a podcast, Twinger Talk, where they interviewed celebrities. I don't recognize the names of their guests, but the top photo looked cute: Jerry Hairston, a baseball player.

Plus they supported a variety of charities, like an anti-bullying initiative and YSB Now ("You're So Beautiful" Now).

They graduated from UCLA in 2024, Ben majoring in Communications and Matt in Political Science. In 2025 they received their M.A. degrees from the Annenberg School of Journalism at USC.

Ben (no beard) is now a sports reporter for the Los Angeles Times, and Matt (beard) a graduate fellow at ABC News in New York. I imagine that they don't have a lot of time for acting.

You're probably wondering:

1. Are they gay?

2. Any n*de photos?

More after the break. Caution: Explicit.

Ben fills his instagram with photos of his girlfriend, Ariel Winter of Modern Family.

Matt took a girl to his prom in 2020, but since then he has been posting a lot of guy photos. Especially civilian Casey L., his classmate at Annenberg, who here comments "Thanks for adding the photos from our date."

He may be joking, but then again, they have several photos together, Casey gives his pronouns (which mostly LGBT people do), and he published an article on Wichita Pride in the Wichita Eagle in 2023.

Here they watch the Minecraft movie together. I'm going to guess that they are boyfriends.

Yes, it is possible for identical twins to be gay/straight. Sexual orientation is influenced not only by DNA, but by prenatal environment, such as placement in the womb and differences in hormone distribution. Also, the straight twin responds to same-sex stimuli more than the average straight person, suggesting that sometimes they do not recognize their same-sex attraction or don't think it is intense enough to matter.
