Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Benny Blanco opens up about lifelong experience with OCD
Caption: Benny Blanco opens up about lifelong experience with OCD. In a candid interview on Jake Shane's hit podcast, Therapuss, the conversation delved into Blanco's lifelong experience with obsessive-compulsive disorder. The multi-platinum hitmaker spoke openly about the rituals he used to perform as a child to stave off intrusive thoughts. ”When I was a kid, I used to have this thing where I had to go 'mmph'. If I didn't do it, I thought my parents were going to die.” "Now I have little things where I touch parts of my face or make a fake cough sound literally hundreds of times a day. It's involuntary.” Despite the challenges, Blanco has learned to manage the compulsions that were disruptive to others. ”I got rid of all the things that are really annoying to another person. I still do little things like making sure everything in my shower is facing forward. But that's insane regardless of OCD.” Blanco, who proposed to his fiancée Selena Gomez in late 2024, also talked about the couple's wedding plans, admitting that the actual planning hasn't begun yet. ”Honestly, I really want to take a little break. I've been working so much.” Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
