Oftentimes, we tend to forget that celebrities can get themselves into pretty embarrassing predicaments. And occasionally, like in the case of Travis Bennett, those humiliating situations involve a member of the Kardashian-Jenner family and an unexpected nap in the driveway.

Bennett recently sat down with Jimmy Kimmel and talked about how he always wanted to meet Kendall Jenner, saying that “I was 18 years old, and I put on Twitter, ‘I want to meet Kendall Jenner for my birthday.'” A mutual friend soon reached out to Bennett and set up a meeting. The two started hanging out together frequently, and dating rumors soon followed. Jenner even posted a tribute to Bennett on his birthday. However, the two soon made it clear that they were just friends, and not dating. In fact, they refer to themselves as BFFs, and have been inseparable since that first meeting.

Travis Bennett once ended up passing out in an unexpected place

During his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Bennett was able to recall a night of wild partying with Jenner, and the events that happened after. He and Kimmel laughed as Bennett lightheartedly said that one night he “fell asleep in her driveway.” Kimmel then interrupted, saying “You fell asleep? Like with a pillow and a blanket?” to which Bennett replied “I wish I did. It was on concrete.”

He then went on to describe how after he was woken up to go to Mel’s Diner for a bite to eat, the restaurant wouldn’t let him in, because he was “too drunk.” The actor eventually managed to make his way into the diner, but the story doesn’t stop there as he said he was then punched by a security guard.
