    Benny Blanco feels flattered to have been mistaken for Bad Bunny

    The 37-year-old record producer was recently mistaken for the 31-year-old rap star by the official X account of the Oscars - but Benny feels flattered to have been confused for the 'Mia' hitmaker


    During an appearance on 'The Jennifer Hudson Show', Benny was asked about the confusion and he replied: "They did?

    "I like that. What do you mean? He's so hot! I'll take it, I'll take it. What do you mean?

    "Look at how pretty he is - are you kidding? Yeah, I'm Bad Bunny now."

    In March, the Academy posted a photo of Benny alongside Selena Gomez, his fiancee, but the snap was captioned: "Selena Gomez and Bad Bunny."

    However, the post was quickly edited and the new caption read: "Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco x 97th #Oscars (sic)"

    Benny and Selena announced their engagement in 2024, and the actress recently revealed that she's "so excited" about the prospect of having children.

    The brunette beauty - who previously revealed that she isn't able to carry her own children - said on the 'Jay Shetty Podcast': "I don't know what will happen, obviously, but I love children. I have an 11-year-old sister that I absolutely adore.

    "I love making [children] laugh; they're just so sweet. So absolutely, when that day comes, I'm so excited for it."

    Benny observed that Selena is the "ultimate level of shy". However, the record producer noted that her demeanour changes when she's around children.

    Benny - who recently recorded an album called 'I Said I Love You First' with Selena - said: "When she walks into a room, her main goal is to disappear into the crowd. My mom is very similar, [she] and my mom are very similar.

    "They'll wait and say like one thing throughout the night that winds up being the most poignant or funny thing of the night. But I'm gonna have diarrhoea of the mouth talking to everyone.

    "Whenever there's kids at a place it's the only time I see her do that. She immediately goes to the kids and has these conversations for hours with the kids."
