Fans met James Bonsall as the mystery man in a box on Season 17 of “The Bachelorette.” And while James didn’t find love with Katie Thurston, he headed to the beaches of Season 7 of “Bachelor in Paradise” for another shot at finding “the one.”

James might not have left with a girlfriend or fiancée, but he famously left with his BFF and partner in crime Aaron Clancy.

James recently stopped by the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast and discussed how he and Aaron supported each other on the beach.

James said, “Without each other on ‘Paradise,’ we both probably would’ve crashed and burned because to have that person to just go and vent to and have that friendship at the end of the night where you can just unwind and destress, I probably would’ve lost my mind without him there.”

But outside of his iconic Bachelor Nation bromance, there’s so much more to James that fans might not know.

Here, James opens up exclusively to BachelorNation.com, answering 20 rapid-fire questions.
