John Krasinski named People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive 2024
There's no doubting the charm and charisma that John Krasinski has now, as PEOPLE magazine recognized him as 2024's "Sexiest Man Alive."
The American actor is gracing its November cover, where he shared that he had an "immediate blackout" when he learned that he was going to be crowned with the much-coveted title.
"Other than maybe I'm being punked. That's not how I wake up, 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 have really raised the bar for me," Krasinski told the news outlet.
The actor, who is well-known for his hilarious role as Jim Halpert on the hit sitcom The Office, shared that his wife Emily Blunt was "very excited" to find out that was now the benchmark for male attractiveness.
"There was a lot of joy involved in me telling her," Krasinski said, adding that Blunt joked that she would wallpaper their house with the cover. "Do we have that on camera? Because that’s like a binding contract, I think. My children will love that, it won’t be weird at all."
Now that he is living a comfortable life with his wife and their two daughters, 10-year-old Hazel and eight-year-old Violet, the 45-year-old star highlighted that he is now living in the moment.
"It’s that beautiful thing where when you’re married to someone, you’re constantly learning and changing and evolving. And I’m so lucky to go through all that with her," he said.
Despite his new achievement, however, he joked that nothing will change between him and Blunt.
"I think it's going to make me do more household chores. After this comes out, she’ll be like, 'All right, that means you’re going to really earn it here at home,'" he said.
Apart from The Office, Krasinski is notable for having directed, co-written, and co-starred in the 2018 horror film A Quiet Place—a film that saw so much success that it spawned two sequels and even a video game. Because of this, TIME magazine named him one of the "100 most influential people in the world."
His other credits include directing the 2024 fantasy comedy film IF and starring in popular works such as Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, DC League of Super-Pets, and It's Complicated, among others.
PEOPLE's "Sexiest Man Alive" title previously went to Patrick Dempsey, who is known for his roles in Grey's Anatomy and Enchanted.
