Benny Blanco's Shoeless Speech: Wedding Mystery Before Selena Gomez Nuptials!
EXCLUSIVE: Benny Blanco Steals the Show (and Leaves His Shoes Behind) at Lil Dicky's Wedding Bash!
In a jaw-dropping turn of events, record producer extraordinaire Benny Blanco made sure that his speech at comedian Lil Dicky's wedding last month would be one for the books – literally. The 37-year-old music mogul, who is soon to tie the knot with none other than Selena Gomez, took the stage barefoot (yes, you read that right!) and delivered a heartfelt address from a chair placed right on the dance floor.
The surreal moment, which has left fans and onlookers alike in stitches, was captured by Lil Dicky's Instagram post on Thursday. Amidst a slew of beautiful photos showcasing his special day, one image stood out – Benny, sans shoes, beaming with joy as he entertained the newlyweds (and their guests) from his makeshift podium.
The picture-perfect moment didn't go unnoticed by netizens, who quickly pounced on the opportunity to poke fun at Benny's unconventional choice. "Benny no shoes wife wife wife!" one eagle-eyed fan quipped in response to Lil Dicky's post. Another witty commentator chimed in: "Fantastic song choice. Benny crisscross in the chair laying down some wisdom for Chuck... Dave's wife is stunning, and Dave is even more stunning – this is what it's all about right here!"
But what really got our attention was when Benny took to the comments section to inquire about his missing shoes – with a tongue-in-cheek remark that left fans giggling: "Where r my shoes?"
The response? Over 1,400 likes and a tidal wave of jokes about the whereabouts of his footwear. One cheeky fan quipped: "Are they ever on?" Another chimed in: "Your shoes are mine now... I put it on eBay!" Someone even joked that Benny was always barefoot – as if it were some sort of weird habit!
Benny and Lil Dicky, 37 (real name David Burd), have a history of collaboration, having worked together on several projects, including the former's FXX sitcom Dave and two music videos for Graduation and I Found You. It seems that their friendship knows no bounds – not even when it comes to wedding speeches!
But what about Benny's own impending nuptials? As we mentioned earlier, sources close to Selena Gomez have confirmed that she will be walking down the aisle with her fiancé this weekend. And let us tell you, folks – the bride-to-be is READY TO PARTY! On her Instagram page, Rare, the singer shared a snapshot of a table overflowing with makeup goodies, including foundation, blush, lipstick, and more.
In an accompanying caption, she revealed: "Me all weekend" – leaving no doubt that she'll be looking absolutely stunning on her big day. And if that weren't enough, TMZ spilled the tea on Wednesday that Gomez had received a gift from PETA (yes, you read that right!) ahead of her wedding celebrations.
We caught up with Selena and her Only Murders in the Building co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon earlier this month – and let's just say she was BEAMING when asked about planning her nuptials. "It's wonderful," she gushed, flashing that iconic megawatt smile of hers. When host Jimmy brought up the subject, Selena couldn't contain her excitement: "I'm very lucky... It's going well. I'm so excited!"
And what about the guest list? Well, we're told that Steve Martin and Martin Short will be among the lucky few to receive an invitation to the wedding – with Marty even jokingly offering himself up as the ring bearer!
But in a move that left us all scratching our heads, Selena had to correct her friend when he quipped: "We love this lady, and we love her fiancé Bad Bunny." Oops, wrong fiancé there, Steve!
Sources close to the couple have revealed that Benny Blanco is set to tie the knot with his beloved fiancée in a private ceremony – but it looks like Selena's wedding will be an event for the ages! What do you think, folks? Will this weekend's nuptials live up to the hype?
