Selena Gomez’s boyfriend among the sexiest men in the world? Internet users are rebelling
The rest after the ad
On social networks, Internet users are not exactly known for their kindness. Once is not customary, a celebrity was the victim of criticism about his physique. This is the case of Benny Blanco, boyfriend of Selena Gomez.
The trigger? Composer and music producer Benny Blanco is included in the list of “Sexiest Men Alive in 2024” named by People magazine. If the real “winner” of this ranking is John Krasinski (Jim in the series The Office), the mere mention of the songwriter in the magazine sparked strong reactions. “Benny Blanco and Sexiest Man Alive should never appear in the same sentence”, “Selena had to pay”, wrote users on X. But they are not the only ones to have criticized this editorial choice.
Furthermore, the American media definitely never stops publishing lists of the most attractive celebrities. At the end of October, People revealed the list of the “hottest” guys of the year 2024.
In the same magazine, we recently read that the cast of the series New Girl was ready for a reboot, we talked about it in this article.
Benny Blanco criticized for his physique
On TikTok, a video published by People on November 12, in which Benny Blanco confides in his relationship with romantic relationships, caused the public to react. A hashtag #SexiestManAlive2024 punctuates the publication. In comments, Internet users then went wild. “But who voted for this? It’s a real question,” we read for example. “I feel physically revolted watching this, it’s insane!”, “Is this serious???”, they protest.
In the comments, however, another vision opposes this nastiness: that of “inner beauty”. “If we voted for the most handsome man on the inside, then of course he would win,” comments a user. “You’ve all been focusing on his appearance rather than what he’s actually saying. He seems like a good man and a good boyfriend”, “he seems like a really nice guy “, write others.
Selena Gomez proud of her boyfriend
Whatever Internet users think, Benny Blanco’s girlfriend wanted to congratulate him. In an Instagram story from November 11, Selena Gomez reposted the photo taken by the magazine Peopleproudly commenting: “Not only do you love me unconditionally… But you always bring me my Mexican pizza from Taco Bell.”
In the next story, she posted a quote from author William C. Hannan: “I still haven’t figured out how to sit across from you and not be madly in love with everything you do,” mentioning the name of her lover. The couple seems to have the perfect love since 2023.
