Seth noted that Beanie and Bon proposed to each other, but it was sort of a surprise for the Booksmart star.
‘Just literally every single person in my life was lying to me,’ Beanie said.
Beanie said Bonnie sent her to the beach with her mother Sharon, brother Jonah Hill, 38, and her friend Anna.
Bonnie suggested they get dressed up to meet up later with her parents and Beanie said her mother faked being sick so they wouldn’t be early and ruin the surprise.

Beanie said her mother drove slowly on Pacific Coast Highway while complaining of stomach pain and even stopped and ran into a random restaurant in West Los Angeles.
After they mutually proposed, Beanie said she whispered to Bon, ‘My mom almost pooped on the side of the road.’
‘And she goes, “It was all a lie to make sure you didn’t get here early.” And I was like, “My mom deserves an Oscar.” I was like, “This is literally the best.”
‘And I’ve worked with some amazing people, Seth. It was the best performance I’d ever seen in my life,’ Beanie said.
