‘End November Like NOW’: Benny Blanco Making PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive List Has The Internet Erupting In Memes

Hold on, wait a minute, it’s a trap! Benny Blanco has yet to win the title of Sexiest Man Alive for 2024, but the Internet can’t stomach that he’s a contender

Benny Blanco is definitely going places! The singer, who has mainly been in the news this year due to her strong and quirky romance with girlfriend Selena Gomez, may just end 2024 super strong. The record producer and songwriter is very much in the running to potentially lift the coveted title of 2024’s Sexiest Man Alive. Even if you’re among those who hate the vanity that comes with such titles, you can’t help but deny that the string of faces that have been honored with it in years past have been absolute dreamboats. For example, the last three lucky men to win the title have been Patrick Dempsey in 2023, Chris Evans in 2022 and Paul Rudd in 2021. So while we wait for Stephen Colbert to announce the name of the actual winner, here’s a look at what the Internet’s take is that Benny has a fair and square shot at being 2024’s Sexiest Man Alive.

Hint: It’s meltdown time.

And when we say meltdown, we’re not exaggerating. Although Benny has yet to be officially presented with the title, seeing him score a spot in PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive magazine was enough in itself. One meme-fied X post leads to another, and what we have now is a flood of memes addressing Benny’s nomination as a bona fide victory. People just don’t agree. And they’re having fun with it.

Not only this, so many are comparing Benny’s expected cinching of the title to the same kind of status-quo-shaking impact Donald Trump beating Kamala Harris to the White House had earlier this month as the US presidential election came to a close. More relevant to pop culture, Ariana Grande’s Grammys snub is another degree of Internet destruction being cited.

Now imagine if Benny actually wins it!

On a separate note, who do you think should be crowned the Sexiest Man Alive in 2024?
