Millions of fans eagerly wait for the popular magazine and media outlet to reveal the name of the celebrity who has won the title of the Sexiest Man Alive, and this year is no different. However, the announcement that Benny Blanco is one of the contenders for the title has led to widespread disappointment and some rather scathing comments that could leave Gomez enraged.

Fans Have Some Nasty Comments About Benny Blanco’s Looks Amidst Him Contesting for PEOPLE‘s Sexiest Man Alive Title

PEOPLE began the contest for the Sexiest Man Alive title almost four decades ago. Mad Max star Mel Gibson was the first man to have won the title all the way back in 1985. Since then, some of Hollywood’s best-looking men such as Brad Pitt, Matthew McConaughey, Idris Elba, and Chris Evans have undisputedly won the title.

Every now and then, there is a celebrity that fans do or do not want to see contesting for the title, much less win it. For instance, fans have been clamoring for Henry Cavill to win the title since he first gained stardom in this industry, and it truly is a little unbelievable that he has won it yet.

On the other hand, the mere fact Benny Blanco has made it to the list of Hollywood men contending for the title has left the fans in shock, and not in a good way. Some of them have even expressed their displeasure about it on the internet by making some rather nasty comments.

It has to be noted that PEOPLE has yet to announce the winner of the title, and it is safe to say that the magazine might get into trouble if Blanco turns out to be the winner.

That said, the music producer’s girlfriend, Selena Gomez, is certainly not going to appreciate the mass criticism of his looks. In fact, she even posted on her Instagram story to cheer him on after he made it to the list (via PEOPLE).

Selena Gomez Has Publicly Defended Her Relationship with Benny Blanco

As much as Gomez loves her fans, she is not one to sit back and watch them make hurtful comments about herself or her loved ones, and this includes her boyfriend, Benny Blanco. When the songstress first confirmed their relationship, fans had a lot to say, and not all of it was good.

During an interview with Zach Sang in 2020, Blanco famously praised Justin Bieber while taking a hit at some other pop artists. At the time, his comment about Bieber not being a “cookie-cutter pop artist” led many fans to believe that it was a jab at Gomez. Many of her fans pointed this out when the Calm Down singer revealed that she was dating him.

According to BuzzFeed, Gomez addressed the matter while also defending her beau, writing in an Instagram comment: “Lol yeah and he’s still better than anyone I’ve ever been with. Facts.” She went on to defend Blanco while replying to several other trolls, claiming that he was the best thing that had ever happened to her. So, if she begins hitting at trolls this time for commenting on Blanco’s looks, it will not be very surprising.
