Thursday, November 14, 2024 - American actor and filmmaker, John Krasinski has been named People’s 2024 “Sexiest Man Alive.”
Stephen Colbert made the surprise announcement on his
talk show, with Krasinksi taking the crown from Grey’s Anatomy star Patrick
Dempsey, who won last year.
“I’m so proud to see my my friend, go from goofy, lovable
boy next door to big, dumb sex hunk,” Colbert said.
Reacting to his win in a video interview with People,
Krasinski confessed it was a little unexpected.
"Just immediate blackout, so the brain just turned off
actually," said the Jack Ryan star. "Zero thoughts.
Other than maybe I'm being punked.
"After that it was just a false reality. That's not how
I wake up, usually, thinking, 'Is this the day that I'll be asked to be Sexiest
Man Alive?' And yet it was the day you guys did it. You guys really raised the
bar for me."
Krasinski, 45, said his actress wife Emily Blunt was "very excited" that he had been chosen for the honor.
"There was a lot of joy involved," he said.
"But I do think it's going to make me do more household chores but I am
willing to take the cons with the pros to be honest with you. I think after the
cover comes out she'll be like, 'All right, that means you're going to really
earn it here at home.'"
He also quipped that the decision would puzzle his brothers
and would probably be a big talking point at Thanksgiving. He joked that they
would probably "wonder how this is possible" for years.
Krasinski is known for playing Jim Halpert in The
Office from 2005 to 2013 and starred as Jack Ryan in
the Amazon Prime series. He and Blunt have been married since 2010
and they share two daughters—Hazel, 10, and eight-year-old Violet.
