John Krasinski has been crowned as People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive for the year 2024. The announcement was made during 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' on Tuesday night. Krasinski, known for his roles in 'The Office,' 'A Quiet Place' franchise, and 'Jack Ryan,' humorously mentioned that he hopes his wife, Emily Blunt, fulfills her promise to use the cover as wallpaper in their home.
The 45-year-old actor expressed his initial reaction to the honor as a 'blackout' moment with 'zero thoughts,' even suspecting that he might be the target of a prank. Rising to fame as Jim in 'The Office,' Krasinski successfully transitioned into the action genre with his portrayal of Jack Ryan, as well as his work on 'A Quiet Place' and the web series 'Some Good News' during the pandemic.
Krasinski, who recently directed 'IF,' a film featuring Blunt, shared that the recognition might lead to an increase in his household chores, jokingly predicting the outcome. The couple, who have two daughters, continue to captivate audiences with their on-screen chemistry and individual accomplishments.
Established 40 years ago, the Sexiest Man Alive title has been previously held by notable figures such as Mel Gibson, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and Dwayne Johnson. Krasinski joins a prestigious list of recipients, showcasing his versatility as an actor, writer, and director in the entertainment industry.
