Nov. 13 – Actor and director John Krasinski was named People magazine’s “Sexiest Man” of 2024 on Wednesday, taking over the position from “Grey’s Anatomy” actor Patrick Dempsey.

“Really, just instant blackout. Zero idea,” Krasinski told People in response to the news. The actor is perhaps best known for his sarcastic nice guy role in the television comedy “The Office.”

“Plus maybe I’m being punished. That way I don’t wake up thinking, ‘Is this the day I’m going to be asked to be the sexiest man alive?’ And yet that was the day you guys did it, you guys really raised the bar for me.”

Krasinski, 45, said that of all the opportunities he has had as an actor, being a family man in real life has been the most rewarding.

He loves being a husband and father who happily lives in Brooklyn with his wife of 14 years, actress Emily Blunt, 41, and their daughters Hazel, 10, and Violet, 8.

The actor was especially excited to tell Blunt the news, saying, “I was so happy to tell her.”

Blunt joked that if she won the title she planned to put wallpaper of Krasinski’s cover in her home.

“It’s that beautiful thing where when you marry someone, you’re constantly learning, changing and evolving,” she said.

He added, “And I’m so lucky to do it all with her.”

Most recently, Krasinski directed the comedy “IF” and the dramas “A Quiet Place” and “A Quiet Place Part II”, both starring Blunt.

However, he said the new title would change things around the house very little.

“I guess this will make me have to do more housework,” he joked.
