On March 23, producer Benny Blanco shared his eyebrow-plucking session with fiancée Selena Gomez and a brow stylist on TikTok, telling his fans, “I plucked my eyebrows.”
Blanco has garnered a reputation for his unibrow as part of his unorthodox style for some time—despite getting negative comments on social media.
After Selena Gomez encouraged Blanco to tidy up his bushy eyebrows, the 37-year-old producer decided it was time for a change and got his brows in check.
In the video, Gomez asked the brow stylist to do it lightly because “[she] love[s] him”

In the hilarious video, Blanco is sitting in a chair while a stylist is plucking at his unibrow. Standing next to them, Gomez can be heard asking the stylist to “do it light because [she] love[s] him.” The stylist then answers, “No, no, I'm not gonna thin nothing out.”
Visibly in pain, Blanco is then heard asking the brow stylist, “Are we almost done?” throughout the process.
After the specialist is done plucking and shaving down the unibrow, the hitmaker then takes a look at the final result, and bluntly states, “I can't even tell the difference.”
