John Krasinski, the star of “Jack Ryan” and “The Office,” has been crowned People magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive” for 2024. The announcement was made during Tuesday’s episode of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” leaving fans and the actor himself in a state of delightful surprise.
Krasinski, 45, known for his charming roles and directorial prowess, confessed to People magazine that he initially thought he was “being punked” upon hearing the news. “Just immediate blackout, actually. Zero thoughts,” he shared in his cover story interview. “You guys have really raised the bar for me.”
The actor, who has seamlessly transitioned from the lovable Jim Halpert in “The Office” to the action-packed role of Jack Ryan, expressed his gratitude and humor about the title. He joked that the honor might lead to him doing more household chores, much to the amusement of his wife, actress Emily Blunt.
