Days after the internet went wild over Benny Blanco\u2019s dirty feet<\/a>, he defended his personal hygiene on \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have great feet,\u201d Blanco insisted during his Thursday appearance on the late-night talk show after host Jimmy Kimmel acknowledged that fans went wild over the musician exposing his \u201cdirty\u201d feet in the first episode of the \u201cFriends Keep Secrets\u201d podcast.<\/p>\n

The record producer even removed his shoe to showcase his clean feet.<\/p>\n

Benny Blanco, pictured here with Lil Dicky on \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live\u201d Thursday, defended his personal hygiene after he showed off his dirty feet on a recent podcast episode. Disney<\/p>\n

\u201cSomeone zoom in on my foot,\u201d Blanco pleaded. \u201cLook at that!\u201d<\/p>\n

Kimmel wasn\u2019t letting the artist get off that easy and asked Blanco to let everyone see the bottom of his foot, which turned out to be clean, too.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook at that clean foot. Look at that. Are you kidding me?\u201d Blanco, 37, teased as the crowd applauded. <\/p>\n

Earlier this week, the media personality was recording his new podcast with his bestie Lil Dicky, and Lil Dicky\u2019s wife, Kristin Batalucco, when there appeared to be dirt covering the bottom of Blanco\u2019s feet. <\/p>\n

Lil Dicky, whose full name is\u00a0David Andrew Burd, came to his co-host\u2019s defense while on the late night talk show with Blanco, explaining, \u201cIt was the first day we filmed anything, so crew was coming in and out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, you\u2019re saying that Dave\u2019s floors are not\u00a0clean,\u201d Kimmel, 58, inquired, before Lil Dicky, 37, added: \u201cOn that day, it was dirty. You know how floors get.\u201d <\/p>\n

After the incident, fans urged Gomez, seen above in an Instagram shot with Blanco, to leave her husband. selenagomez\/Instagram<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Kimmel had a bright idea for Blanco.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou should get an OnlyFans for that thing,\u201d he joked. <\/p>\n

\u201cThank you, thank you!\u201d Blanco proudly responded.<\/p>\n

After Blanco exposed his dirty feet, fans urged the star\u2019s wife, Selena Gomez, to leave him, just months after they tied the knot in September.<\/p>\n

\u201cLITERALLY WHY would she marry him out of all the men in the world,\u201d\u00a0someone wrote about the couple, pictured above on Instagram. selenagomez\/Instagram<\/p>\n

But this isn\u2019t the first time Blanco, seen kissing Gomez above, made a shocking hygiene confession. selenagomez\/Instagram<\/p>\n

\u201dI can\u2019t believe she lets him touch her,\u201d\u00a0one social media user wrote<\/a> under a clip of the podcast.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cLITERALLY WHY would she marry him out of all the men in the world,\u201d\u00a0a second follower said.<\/a><\/p>\n

One\u00a0X user penned<\/a>, \u201cThat is disgusting idk how selena dealing with this.\u201d <\/p>\n

In 2024, Blanco, pictured with his Gomez above, revealed he doesn\u2019t shower daily. selenagomez\/Instagram<\/p>\n

As Blanco, on his wedding day with Gomez, put it: \u201cI feel like the oils on your skin don\u2019t have time to rejuvenate and get juicy.\u201d Photo by Samm Blake, Photo by Samm Blake, Photo by Samm Blake<\/p>\n

Rounding out the drastic feedback, another person added:<\/a> \u201cSelena needs to divorce him and find someone better.\u201d<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first time Blanco has made an eyebrow-raising confession about his hygiene habits. Back in November 2024, he admitted he doesn\u2019t shower every day.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome people I know shower two to three times a day, but I feel like the oils on your skin don\u2019t have time to rejuvenate and get juicy,\u201d he told People<\/a> at the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Days after the internet went wild over Benny Blanco\u2019s dirty feet, he defended his personal hygiene on \u201cJimmy…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":306959,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[2003,430,13626,12133,5123,156,21122,7182,157,111,139,69,1999],"class_list":{"0":"post-306958","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-benny-blanco","9":"tag-celebrities","10":"tag-celebrity-interviews","11":"tag-celebrity-marriages","12":"tag-celebrity-news","13":"tag-entertainment","14":"tag-hygiene","15":"tag-jimmy-kimmel-live","16":"tag-music","17":"tag-new-zealand","18":"tag-newzealand","19":"tag-nz","20":"tag-selena-gomez"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306958","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=306958"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306958\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/306959"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=306958"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=306958"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=306958"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
