John Krasinski has been named People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2024, an honour that was announced during his appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
The actor, best known for his role as Jim Halpert on The Office, expressed surprise at the recognition, jokingly suggesting he thought he was being pranked when he received the news. “Just immediate blackout, actually. Zero thoughts,” Krasinski remarked, emphasizing his disbelief at being chosen for such a title. His wife, actress Emily Blunt, was reportedly thrilled by the announcement, even joking about using the magazine cover as wallpaper in their home
Krasinski’s career has evolved significantly since his days on The Office. He co-wrote, directed, and starred in the critically acclaimed horror film A Quiet Place, which has spawned successful sequels. Additionally, he portrayed Jack Ryan in the Amazon series of the same name, further showcasing his versatility as an actor and filmmaker. In a lighthearted moment during his interview with People, Krasinski reflected on his family life and how being a father to two daughters has enriched his perspective, stating that it has completely changed his life
As he embraces this new title, Krasinski humorously predicted that it might lead to more household chores at home. “I think it’s going to make me do more household chores,” he joked, anticipating that Blunt would expect him to “really earn it here at home.” This playful banter highlights not only his sense of humour but also the strong partnership he shares with Blunt as they navigate their careers and family life together.
