John Krasinski, known for his role in The Office and directing A Quiet Place, has been awarded the title of 2024’s “Sexiest Man Alive” by People magazine. When asked about the honor, Krasinski shared his wife Emily Blunt’s reaction, describing her excitement and sense of humor over the unexpected news.
In an interview with People, the 45-year-old actor reflected on his wife’s enthusiastic response. Married since 2010, the couple shares a playful bond that came through in Blunt’s reaction to his new title. Krasinski recalled with a smile, “There was a lot of joy involved,” adding that Blunt joked about turning the magazine cover into wallpaper for their home.
Krasinski, who follows last year’s titleholder Grey’s Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey, admitted he was a bit stunned by the announcement. The actor shared that he felt an “immediate blackout” upon hearing the news, finding the title surreal and unexpected.
Reflecting on the experience, Krasinski joked about the uniqueness of the moment: “I don’t exactly wake up thinking, ‘Today’s the day I’ll be named Sexiest Man Alive,’” he laughed. “But you guys pulled it off. You’ve set a whole new bar for me.”
The actor will soon reprise his role as CIA analyst Jack Ryan in an upcoming franchise film, adding yet another layer to his year of career highlights. With Blunt’s support and a hint of humor, Krasinski’s reaction to the title shows his lighthearted perspective and his joy in sharing the moment with his wife.
