John Krasinski has joined elite company.
Or, perhaps to be more precise, let us rephrase:
John Krasinski has joined some very hot and handsome company.
In fact, the actor has been named People’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2024.
How did the actor feel after learning about the honour?
“Really, just instant blackout. Zero ideas,” Krasinski told this publication for this week’s cover story. “Also maybe I’m being given a felony. It’s not like I wake up thinking, ‘Is this the day I’m going to be asked to be the sexiest man alive?’
“And yet this was the day you guys did it. You guys have really raised the bar for me.”
Past winners of People’s Sexiest Man Alive include Dwayne Johnson, Brad Pitt, Mel Gibson, George Clooney, Channing Tatum, and many other famous men you may have fantasized about over the years.
Krasinski is married to Emily Blunt.
He will always be best known for playing Jim on The Office, although the star has since been anchoring Jack Ryan’s Show on Amazon and has already written and directed The Quiet Place film franchise.
She has two children, and has no illusions that her new title will change anything for her at home.
“I think it will make me do More “Housework,” she jokingly told People, “I guess it’s going to make me do more housework.” “After it comes out, she’ll say, ‘Okay, that means you really earned it right here. Going to do.”
At least it appears that Blunt and Krasinski’s marriage is one of the healthiest in all of Hollywood.
In a serious moment, the actor told People that he was “overjoyed” to share the news with his wife of 14 years, adding:
“It’s that beautiful thing where when you’re married to someone, you’re constantly learning, changing and evolving. And I am very lucky that I got to go through all this with her.
Now, of course, this question must be asked:
Is John Krasinski Really the Sexiest Man Alive?
