Actor-filmmaker John Krasinski became the talk of the town after he was announced People Magazine’s 2024 Sexiest Man Alive on Tuesday (November 13).
The news received a mixed response from netizens. While some congratulated him, a section of netizens expressed disagreement.
An X (formerly known as Twitter) user wrote, “He’s not sexy at all but whatever.” Another one wrote, “you’re joking?” “He’s decent looking. THE SEXIEST. I’m not so sure??,” wrote a user. Another disappointed user shared thoughts saying, “Nahhhh.” Some were hoping Dwayne Johnson or Glen Powell would get the title.

In an interview with People Magazine, John shared that his immediate reaction to the title was ‘just immediate blackout, actually. Zero thoughts’. He added, “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.”
What was Emily Blunt’s reaction, you ask? John shared that she was ‘very excited’ when she heard the big news. The actress even joked that she would wallpaper their house with the cover if he received the crown.
John is known for his role as Jim Halpert in ‘The Office‘ (2005-2013). Besides that, he directed, co-wrote, and co-starred in the horror film ‘A Quiet Place‘. He also directed its sequel ‘A Quiet Place Part II‘.
