Actor and director John Krasinski was named People magazine’s “sexiest man alive” for 2024, taking over the mantle from Grey’s Anatomy actor Patrick Dempsey. “Just immediate blackout, actually. Zero thoughts,” Krasinski told People in reaction to the news. The actor is perhaps best known for his sardonic nice guy role in the television comedy The Office.

Krasinski, 45, said that out of all of the opportunities he’s had as an actor, being a real-life family man is most rewarding. He prefers 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. Blunt joked that she plans to wallpaper their house with the cover of Krasinski if he received the title. However, he noted that the new title will change things very little around the house. “I think it’s going to make me do more household chores,” he joked.
