People’s sexiest man in the world: Benny Blanco, cast for ‘New Girl’

Ahead of Tuesday’s announcement, the magazine featured Benny Blanco and the men of “New Girl” in its Sexiest Man Alive issue.

In a People feature on Monday, Blanco opened up about girlfriend Selena Gomez and how they went “all out” for each other on date nights, including the time Gomez rented out a botanical garden.

“I have a true best friend with whom I can do anything in the world, and every day is the best day of my life,” he said of the time they spent together.

He then recalled a Valentine’s Day when he bought her Taco Bell, made her “movie theater nachos” and shipped her favorite pickles from Texas.

Gomez raved about her beauty in an Instagram story on Monday: “Not only do you love me unconditionally, you always get me my Mexican Taco Bell pizza.”

On Tuesday, the magazine published an interview that reunited Jake Johnson, Damon Wayans Jr., Lamorne Morris and Max Greenfield from the Fox sitcom “New Girl.” The interview is reportedly the first time all four have been on camera since the 2018 finale.

The series also starred Zooey Deschanel and Hannah Simone.

The group reflected on the show’s resurgence in popularity since the pandemic, as well as the possibility of an official reunion with the entire cast.

“I think we all would if the right thing came along; it’s really fun to be together,” Johnson said.

“We get so many questions about the show and ‘What about a reunion?’ And none of that is up to us,” Greenfield said. “It’s so much about Liz Meriwether, who created the show, and what she would do differently and how she would direct the show and whether she would want to do a reunion.”
