The striker has rediscovered his best form in recent years and his Los Blancos club-mate has hailed his consistency throughout a fine career.
Varane, who sees a self-titled Amazon Prime documentary series launch imminently, has been reflecting on both his respect for his team-mate and on the pair's relationship following his arrival, with the World Cup winner having joined his fellow international in 2011 from Lens.
"We [Varane and Benzema] have a good relationship," the defender stated. "When I arrived in Madrid, there were two Frenchmen, him and Lassana Diarra.
"We have known each other for eight years now. We've had great moments together. We talk a lot. We talk a lot about football, in good and bad times.
"We have a very good relationship. He has more experience than me, so he can have a role of giving advice on how to approach things at the highest level and how to last that level because he's been at Madrid a while and his longevity is exceptional."
