John Krasinski has been named People Magazine’s ‘Sexiest Man Alive’.

Stephen Colbert announced on The Late Show that Krasinski had won the 2024 honor: “I don’t have to tell you that this country is currently in the midst of a massive transfer of power to the new People’s Sexiest Man Alive. I mean look at him. I get it, plus we’re friends. I’m so proud to see my friend go from goofy, lovable boy next door to big dumb sex hunk. I wish I could do the same.”

Krasinski jokingly replied: “I heard the news and I had to come as soon as I could because I know how bad you wanted to be People’s Sexiest Man Alive. And so I just came to see if you were okay.”

Krasinski, 45, told People his immediate reaction to the honor was “just immediate blackout, actually. Zero thoughts,” adding that he thought he might be getting pranked. After rising to fame as Jim on “The Office”, Krasinski went on to star on Amazon’s “Jack Ryan,” and also co-wrote, directed and starred in “A Quiet Place,” which has grown into a three-film franchise.Krasinski is married to actress Emily Blunt, and the couple shares two daughters. People Magazine’s ‘Sexiest Man Alive’ issue drops this Friday.
