Inside Benny Blanco’s Fun-Filled L.A. Home | Open Door | Architectural Digest

Today, AD is welcomed by hit music producer Benny Blanco to tour his home in Los Angeles. Built in 1939, Blanco’s spacious home is just a stone’s throw away from his recording studio, but despite its proximity to work, Blanco’s design brief was all-play, no-work. With the help of Rachel Leigh Ward and Dana M. Vitrano of bonVIVANT Interiors and designer Keefe Butler of Studio BAD, the resulting space is eclectic and playful with plenty of areas to kick back and relax with family and friends, including superstar girlfriend Selena Gomez. From a red velvet movie theatre with a candy room to a Mariah Carey-worthy dressing room, Blanco’s home is full of personality and fun for all. “I know the house is kooky…one time, a friend told me, ‘I love coming over to your house because I feel like I can just let go and be my true self.’ That’s exactly what I’m going for here.”

[@ScarlettJ1221]

I can honestly see what Selena sees in Benny, he seems like a great guy and fun to be around

[@58kenstyle]

He’s gross stop it

[@Winford.Studios]

They have a song together

[@PrettybuoyJones1992]

I was thinking the same 😂❤

[@adamcraig1468]

Shes getting older and desperate. It's not hard

[@meagan807]

I thought the same thing!!!

[@AS-kq7hw]

Its funny how much he talks to the film crew. Most celebs just talk to the camera, but he is actually talking to the people. He seems like a nice guy. And I like his place, it looks very comfortable.

[@nikijanssen548]

Yes, that's the difference!

[@H0oLIgAnSsRo0lMaRrSz]

Yes he definitely seems like a people person! The fact that he said he would have a bottle ready for his guests if he noticed they liked it before shows how caring he is

[@Coolramvishnu]

Yes, because he is not an actor 😅😅

[@JNMKlover]

@@Coolramvishnu People have made a huge deal of Selena being too hot for him. That is so ignorant! They could make music and have fun, like she didn't get to. He cooks for her. How many guys have tried to or dated Selena that were into only themselves. I hope they make a life together and stay laughing.

[@naiwumbwesumayah1464]

He is so supportive of his friends, I noticed that all the rooms have something made by a friend 🥺💕

[@H0oLIgAnSsRo0lMaRrSz]

And he has so many friends! Haha

[@Erika-go8qc]

Yeah he helps wash their balls.

[@prawiraagung4011]

its cheaper liek that bro

[@chicagolifetv]

Cute rite!

[@honeygoseyney2421]

Or he is became friends with people who make stuff for him. Either we that's awesome

[@DesiSears]

You forget how epic this man’s career is because of how much time he spends uplifting others. Super cool dude A+

[@estrellasegura4587]

Thiss!!!

[@mkelly534]

I am shocked at how much I like his house. It truly looks like a place where you feel welcome and can relax

[@kmontagna1]

Where you can have fun and be free ❤❤

[@derekhammett8634]

most people who have money have the tackiest stuff

[@aidasall4815]

His personality is what makes him attractive - so rare to find someone actually funny & nice to be around in Hollywood these days tbh.

[@pvelvet1483]

....hahaha...personality: when someone is not pleasant to look at= none, no charisma.

[@jrot82]

he is attractive and has a great personality

[@pllbanklovelights9047]

He is NOT!¡!

[@psalmnorth5740]

how is he funny tf

[@Jackben1mble]

he is sooo gross

[@mcchannel9923]

I was expecting a very cluttered and non cohesive house, but surprisingly, one of the most "homey" houses ever featured. He seems like a childlike genuine soul. There's truly more to a person than what you see on the outside.

[@farisbosnic1786]

10:48 "You're not a professional athlete, getting in a cold plunge for 6 minutes a day isn't going to help you write 12 e-mails faster!" True! 🤣

[@billiejomaynard7463]

Love it so true!!😂😂

[@catherinetaylor3391]

Favourite quote ever!

[@1heart1mind]

So funny 😂

[@HelloPia]

Thanks! I also gathered that one

[@slowrigami]

My new goal in life is to become Benny’s friend so I can go to dope dinner parties and have him hand feed me while I’m splashin’ around in the pool. He seems like such a fun and caring person.

[@annjohnson8437]

I love that goal!!! ❤

[@ramryn592]

I see how you didnt say you wanted to use the shower with him

[@slowrigami]

@@ramryn592😏😏 that's further down the line in our friendship lol

[@eveningstar8581]

Same!

[@mariahsturgeon694]

I didn't really get the appeal before but he seems like a really fun, sweet guy and his house is amazing. I didn't expect to love it but I did!

[@erinlambert3710]

I see why Selena Gomez is dating him. He is a sweetheart and hilarious!

[@Blufishii]

And she just really wanted a bf

[@magdalenaestrada7517]

Selena didn’t go date somebody the next day or before her current relationship was over. She always waits. She’s a celebrity even though there is bad people out there that body shame her, anybody would want to date her just because she’s a celebrity.

[@k.h6267]

​@@Blufishiihe openly said he did stuffs to impressed her if she was desperate she would have dated him way back when they collaborated.

[@Blufishii]

@@k.h6267 obviously she wasnt desperate then she was still in her prime.

[@k.h6267]

@@Blufishii so you are a mind reader

[@HoangPham-251]

"I dont know... makes me happy" might be my favorite life motto

[@TheGabbieShow]

I love when adults who own a whole house say "this is my room" when talking about their bedroom. Like all the rooms are your rooms. thats your bedroom. but when you're a kid, you have YOUR room, so it sticks lol

[@gabriellaleticia6353]

hey girl wyd here lol , didn’t expect see Gabbie Hanna in the comments lol

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

“My room” is short for bedroom

[@elsabenavides7576]

I can tell he treats Selena like the queen she is ♥

[@EthanRamirez13]

How?

[@elissalombard7021]

@@EthanRamirez13I think it’s because he seems to treat everyone well, and if it’s his person, even more so!

[@BuddyDanger]

Why do you think she is a “queen”? Because she is famous? That doesn’t make you a queen!!!

[@katlangford]

His house looks so cosy, nice and full of personality

[@seen.3]

He looks like he permanently smells like he didn’t shower for 2 weeks

[@carrieohio]

I've never seen a bread chair before.

[@user-sl6fo1mz8q]

How much fun can a human be, love it!!!

[@dddc57]

He’s cute and so nice and makes you feel so welcoming that means more than anything!❤

[@bintlooda]

Totally agree.. its hard for me to find a celebrity house that i like and feel like i can live in without feeling like abandoned resort… his house is somehow cozy and feel like a beautiful relaxing place with personality

[@DemarcusQ]

Benny’s litteraly a modern day Picasso. His art, his style, his personality everything about him is art.

[@user-fu8si2kt8j]

Funny that’s exactly what I can see ❤

[@esemismo138]

whaaaaat???? jajajajJAJAJAJAJA

[@DemarcusQ]

@@esemismo138 What?

[@notknown6605]

Not at all.

[@retro000]

So glad Selena developed this relationship with him. She deserves a solid guy, quirky to match her creativity but stable and confident and happy in himself.❤🎉

[@cguide2598]

This comment seems its being pay for his team. Do you know people are wonder-questioning why Selena is dating him. 🤔 He is like a kid and wird but not in nice way.

[@retro000]

@@cguide2598 Oh well, you can wonder as much as you like!!! Hope you're being paid for it

[@uniqueweasel]

This is everything I wanted and more. I love that he is 50% goofball and 50% loving sweet gentle human. What a solid dude.

[@shaitaffe8757]

That’s all ask😢

[@Jackben1mble]

he is gross

[@JaslynFellows]

He cooks, gardens, has dinner parties and feeds food desert communities 🙌🏾

[@emilyaustin1327]

Benny Blanco is the friend we all need 🥺

[@MM-oh1qx]

This changed the way I see Benny, he’s super down to earth and doesn’t deserve the hate he gets on TikTok

[@natashab3412]

Most ppl don't. He definitely doesn't

[@outloudkat]

I love that everything centres around friends

[@nathy0308]

Love love love his vibe, style, priorities, and house! It's full of personality and not excessively ostentatious. Definitely feels homey and lived in. I love how he incorporated so many of his friends in his design process 🥹

The fact that he offered bro a sip tells everything. Like what? You don't know where my lips been bruh?!? Thats love. Idgaf. Shoutout to Benny

[@AvocadoAffogato]

I am so jealous of his duel head steam shower! Showering with a buddy before an event sounds so nice and fun. It’s refreshing to see those kind of platonic friendships talked about and normalized. ❤

[@mariaalejandrarodriguez2574]

That seems too weird.

[@AvocadoAffogato]

@@mariaalejandrarodriguez2574 I guess it just depends on what you’re comfortable with and the relationship dynamic 🤷

[@beckyann9339]

Yeah I can see why Miss Gomez adores this guy.

[@AnnMax-hk9br]

yes, looks like a nice guy

[@donnaclark2413]

I bet they all laugh so much. He's a doll.

[@user-yz5mn2go2d]

Yeah, because she can borrow his heels while he showers with his friend, Dave. 😂🤦🏻

[@wonderful5914]

Personality makes a big difference

[@wonderful5914]

His shines through

[@pablobal313]

He definitely has a eye for art, but not in a ostentatious way, the entire house is filled with it, and still feels relaxed, although the decor it's not my style, I liked it a lot, ah, and it's the first time in AD that you can tell that the owner REALLY cooks in the kitchen!!!

[@cguide2598]

Ostentatious or expensive?

[@DaoWoW]

Benny seems like the most genuine, down to earth guy in the industry, period. Much love to him and Selena - a great match

[@NikkiBWithTheAdHd]

This may be one of my most favorite homes we’ve seen on AD. I love his style so much. I love all of his possessions that he holds dear. I love the stuffed animals on the couch. This guy is very appealing. Selena girl, we get you. It all makes sense. He’s cute, charismatic af, sweet and seems like an all around amazing guy. 😍

[@user-fu8si2kt8j]

❤❤❤❤ exactly

[@thehappyhousewife8838]

Wow. I do see what Selena sees in him. He seems to grounded, so down to earth and kinda just an ordinary, breath of fresh air. A celebrity that hasn't let fame ( totally) go to his head. The best part is he genuinely seems to care about the people in his " community ".

[@mazzee]

Guy painted his toe nails...

[@ek.2533]

[@taniapinedo4905]

He seems like such a nice, fun guy to be around.

[@eveningstar8581]

He is most definitely a one in a million! I am so taken aback by his kindness and his gentle energy. I've never seen a celebrity that I've wanted to be friends with, more than him! You are incredibly lucky to be a part of his world!

[@Shafflees]

his house and personality screams a caring granny with touch of a heart like a kid 🤍

[@milly9897]

This is the funniest segment of the series. Benny is just a stand up guy.

[@lorcashine]

Yes, usually they are so pretentious with people like Gwenyth... Not at all like this interview!

[@MeelaMeela000]

Everyone who wasn’t familiar with Benny Blanco’s personality and soul was so shocked when he started dating Selena Gomez. I was not at all. I was actually thinking, what a lucky girl she is lmaooo but that’s only because I knew of him (as much as a person who’s never met him can) and he just a gem. U should check out his KZbin cooking series with Matty matheson

[@Elizabethx15]

these were my exact thoughts 😊

[@DNBon.an808]

same, i saw this house and Benny for the first time on that show with Matty and ive been charmed by both ever since. I love him for her

[@Barks_with_Benji]

I love how he starts explaining something then gets distracted and starts talking about that 😂 he’s not scared to be real and he’s not trying too hard he’s just being himself.
