Dierks Bentley tells us about that one time he tried to not get romantic with an actress in the video for “I Wanna Make You Close Your Eyes.”  “I had just gotten married,” he tells us.  “I’m on the video shoot.  There’s this really pretty girl who’s the partner in my video.  I’ve never met her.  She’s beautiful.  And we’re supposed to be romantic and stuff and I’m just like ‘I just got married!  I don’t know how to do this!’  And so, I spent most of the video just touching her face and I probably did that, like, 50 times.  It’s one of those videos I did once, watched it once, and never looked at it again.”
