"I Want to Smell Like a Man." Selena Gomez's Sexiest Man Alive Boyfriend Says He Doesn't Like Washing

"I Want to Smell Like a Man." Selena Gomez's Sexiest Man Alive Boyfriend Says He Doesn't Like Washing

Selena Gomez's boyfriend, 36-year-old producer Benny Blanco, admitted that he rarely washes because frequent washing destroys the skin's protective barrier, and also because he wants to "smell like a man." However, he recently uploaded a story to Instagram* in which he is lying in a beautician's chair. Blanco tagged the specialist's account and wrote: "She is the best!"

Despite Selena Gomez being bullied for her boyfriend's looks, Benny Blanco has made it to the People magazine Sexiest Man Alive shortlist. Many netizens have supported the choice, noting that Benny "redefines sexy" with his humor and charm. Others, however, disagree with the title and continue to unfollow Selena en masse due to their dislike of her lover.

Not long ago, a similar story was discussed online with Brad Pitt, who also admitted that he does not wash every day. He believes that frequent washing spoils hair and skin and, as a result, accelerates the aging process. Even if the actor went to the shower, he did not use soap, as he considers it toxic. However, everything changed with the arrival of a new companion in his life - Ines de Ramon. Insiders from the publication In Touch Weekly claim that the girl taught her partner to wash more often and use deodorant and cologne.
