Benoit Blanc Partner: After Knives Out was a hit in 2019, fans of the murder mystery quickly asked for a follow-up to learn more about the mysterious detective, Benoit Blanc. The long-awaited follow-up, Glass Onion, has finally come out three years later. In it, Daniel Craig’s southern detective is put in the middle of another complicated mystery.
Fans hoped that the movie would tell them more about his character, and it does. In an early scene, Blanc plays Among Us with some famous people before getting a clue that gets him involved in the case.
The scene in question also shows that the detective shares his apartment with another man, which has led many Knives Out and Glass Onion fans to wonder if Benoit Blanc is gay.
Who Are Benoit Blanc’s Partners?
Hugh Grant portrays the character of Phillip, Benoit Blanc’s companion in Glass Onion. Glass Onion subsequently confirms that Benoit Blanc resides with Hugh Grant’s character when he answers the door when Janelle Monáe arrives at their flat seeking the detective.
Phillip opens the door wearing a bright pink and green apron, and it’s evident he’s baking. He’s displeased that Blanc is in the bathtub and unable to answer the door.

Is Benoit Blanc Gay in Chives Out and Glass Onions?
In the Knives Out movies, Benoit Blanc is gay. Rian Johnson, who wrote and directed Glass Onion, has been a lot more open about the detective’s sexuality than the movie does.
After the movie was shown at the London Film Festival, Johnson was asked if a scene in which Benoit Blanc lives with another man meant that the character is gay. According to Insider, Rian said, “Yes, he is.”
Johnson added, “I can’t think of anyone who would make me happier for Benoit Blanc to be with than this person,” but he didn’t say who it was. Daniel Craig, who plays Benoit Blanc, added, “I don’t want to give anything away, but who wouldn’t want to live with that person?”
What Do Fans Think About This News
After it came out that Benoit Blanc is gay, a lot of his fans took to social media to talk about it. One fan wrote on Twitter, “The moment in Glass Onion when Benoit Blanc’s gay lover is revealed is one of my favorite movie moments of the year.”
Another person said, “How did I find out that Benoit Blanc is gay? I had to watch all of Glass Onion, wondering if they would ever talk about how fruity everything was. But this fan wanted to warn other viewers: Actually, there is one tiny spoiler: don’t go into this show hoping that Benoit Blanc will be out as gay because you won’t get it.
They left it so vague and unclear that my mom thought [redacted] was playing his housekeeper. Another Twitter user said that Blanc has always been gay because of a scene in Knives Out: “I don’t know why people are surprised when Benoit Blanc says in Knives Out that Ransom and Harlan are “drama mamas.”
This fan said, “Glass Onion is a pretty good movie.” “But I liked best that they decided Benoit Blanc is gay.”
This last commenter, though, still thinks that another detective is the best: “I don’t care if Benoit Blanc is canonically gay. In my heart, Hercule Poirot will always be the cutest little detective with the funniest accent.
