Benny Blanco’s “most foul habit” has caused a stir after a cameraman caught the moment during the Golden Globe Awards, leading to online backlash.
Blanco, who got engaged to Selena Gomez last month, attended the prestigious event with his fiancée. The couple arrived hand-in-hand, marking their first public appearance since announcing their engagement. Gomez looked stunning in a powder blue off-the-shoulder gown, complemented by a diamond necklace, rings, and, of course, her sparkling new engagement ring. Blanco, who proudly walked the red carpet beside her, sported a classic all-white suit.
During the event, comedian Nikki Glaser made a playful remark about the couple while introducing them. She said, “Selena Gomez is here. A double nominee tonight for Emilia Perez and Only Murders in the Building. She’s here tonight with her new fiancé Benny Blanco.” Glaser continued, “And Benny Blanco is here because of the genie that granted that wish. Man, lucky guy.”
The couple laughed off the joke, and Blanco even kissed Gomez on the shoulder, showing their easy-going nature. However, what happened next had a lot of fans talking.
As the camera panned over the couple at various points during the ceremony, one particular shot exposed Benny Blanco’s “most foul habit” – he was chewing gum with his mouth wide open. The moment didn’t go unnoticed by viewers, who took to social media to express their dismay.
Many were quick to criticize Blanco for the unpleasant sight, with one fan tweeting, “Seeing Benny Blanco’s face chewing that gum with his mouth wide open makes me want to punch a hole in my wall.” Another comment read, “@selenagomez tell Benny Blanco to stop chewing gum with his mouth open, yuck!!”
The incident, though minor, sparked enough conversation to draw attention away from their otherwise glamorous appearance at the Golden Globes. While it’s unlikely that Blanco’s gum-chewing habits will overshadow his career or relationship, it certainly became the topic of conversation for many viewers that evening.
