Benny Blanco binged pizza for five days as he carried out an unusual experiment.

The 38-year-old music producer, who previously said wife Selena Gomez, 34, eats like a child, set out to prove weight can be lost 'eating literally anything,' and chose a daily large thin crust order from Domino's Pizza for the task. 

In a video shared on TikTok and Instagram, he documented his thoughts and progress throughout a little less than one week.

Gomez made two cameos, including during a dimly lit date night and another as she embraced him while he recorded.

His weight was 152.2 pounds at the top of the trial, and by the end he'd dropped down to 147.5. 

'I just lost 4.7 pounds eating pizza. Nothing matters, do whatever you want,' he declared.

Blanco also made sure to plug his self-help/memoir F**k Failure, due out in September.

Earlier this year, the musician unveiled his wife's eating habits during a live recording of Gwyneth Paltrow's Good Podcast.

At the time, he told a live audience that the pop star 'has the diet of a five-year-old.'

He cited 'burgers and fries' as two of her favorites, before revealing that she's also fond of fast food for breakfast.

'This morning I walked in and she was eating Jack in the Box at 6:45 in the morning,' he said at the time.

Blanco also divulged that Gomez 'doesn't really like fruits or vegetables', so when she orders Goop's Chinese chicken salad, she picks out 'everything on top of the salad' and leaves all the lettuce and greens for Blanco.

Despite having her own cooking series on Netflix, Gomez is known for being a less than stellar cook and eating poorly.

She was hospitalized in 2011 for malnourishment due to her bad food habits.

Earlier this year the newlyweds were forced to spend time apart as Gomez filmed the latest season of her hit Hulu series Only Murders in the Building on location in London.

The Emmy-nominated actress wrote in a May Instagram post, 'I miss my love,' while sharing a throwback photo of her and her husband.

But the pair reunited on July 3 as they attended her BFF Taylor Swift's wedding to Travis Kelce at Madison Square Garden.

And then Blanco sailed overseas, due to his fear of flying, to be with her on her July 22 birthday.

Blanco is currently busy promoting his book, and his Spanish-language album Hermoso, which came out on August 14.
