John Krasinski on being People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive 2024.
In the interview with People's magazine, Krasinski shared his surprise and joy at being told that he is People's "Sexiest Man Alive" in 2024. He said,
"Just immediate blackout, actually. Zero thoughts. 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 is known and loved for his role as Jim Halpert in the beloved American show The Office, the spinoff of the original UK version of the same name . He also tasted success as an all-rounder, after The Quiet Place, a movie he co-wrote, directed, and starred became a massive success in 2018.
