Kyle Sandilands harshly criticized People magazine’s sexiest man alive issue, in which American actor John Krasinski took the number one spot.
The radio host, 53, said the list had “some pigs” and noted the surprising addition of Selena Gomez’s boyfriend Benny Blanco, who he said was as handsome as former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd.
“I’ve realized that the sexiest man alive should be renamed Grossest Gronk… there are some pigs in there,” he said on his KIIS FM radio show on Thursday morning.
He added: “The way people appear on these lists is not because they are the most beautiful, but because their agents manipulate the magazine… it’s all nonsense.”
‘Brad Pitt is a handsome guy. George Clooney is a handsome guy. And then you have your Kevin Rudd, your Benny Blanco… the thug team.
It comes after Benny, 36, set social media alight when he appeared in People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive issue.
The Grammy-nominated producer happily opened up about his secrets to success in life and love, and discussed his romantic mornings with Selena, 32, in the article.
She also showed off her style in an accompanying photo shoot, where she rocked several gorgeous silk ensembles and showed off her red pedicure.

Benny has been featured among several hunks in People’s issue, and this year’s Sexiest Man Alive cover star is John Krasinski.
After it was revealed that Benny would be part of the problem, fans had a mixed response. Some applauded the decision, writing: ‘YES! He’s redefining “sexy” with that humor and style!’
I can’t argue with that choice! “She has the talent and charm to match,” another fan wrote.
And people still wonder why Selena chose it. He seems like a great guy,” noted another. ‘It’s so lovely. We get it, Selena.’

‘He radiates kindness and warmth. It’s a pleasure to see him and Selena supporting each other. You both truly deserve love, happiness and all the wonderful things life has to offer!’
However, not everyone agreed with the decision.
“Selena paid for this,” one fan wrote with three crying emojis.
“White Benny and the sexiest man alive should never be in the same sentence,” someone else chimed in.
‘Did they throw a dart at him while he was blindfolded to catch him?’ added a third.
Benny couldn’t help but talk about his relationship with Selena during his interview for the magazine.

He sweetly admitted that waking up next to his rumored fiancée, who he’s been fueling engagement rumors with for months, is the highlight of his day.
‘I’m a real morning person. It’s my favorite time to spend with Sel, because we both get up very early. “It’s like our moment before the rest of the world wakes up,” he told People.
He went on to describe the Calm Down hitmaker as his “real best friend” with whom he can “do everything in the world.”
‘Every day is the best day of my life,’ he praised while reflecting on his romance with Gómez, whom he began dating in mid-2023.
When it comes to relationships, Benny insisted that “there should be no games.”
