John Krasinski has been named Sexiest Man Alive of 2024 by People magazine

Let the office debates begin – John Krasinski is the Sexiest Man Alive for 2024, according to People magazine.

The magazine announced the actor, writer and director as its pick Tuesday night during “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”

Krasinski starred in “The Office” before launching the “Quiet Place” franchise and leading the action series “Jack Ryan.” In an interview with the magazine, he joked that he hoped his wife, fellow actress Emily Blunt, would make good on her promise to put the cover up as wallpaper in their home.

Colbert joked before the announcement that he was sure he would be the choice. Then he said he “just really thought this was going to be my year. Well, who are we kidding? I’ll never be the sexiest man in the world.”

And during a pre-recorded skit, Colbert and Krasinski introduced Krasinski’s “6-step program” to becoming sexy.

Krasinski, 45, told People that his immediate reaction to the honor was “actually just an instant fainting spell. No thoughts.” He added that he thought he might be being pranked.

He rose to fame playing the lanky Jim in the US version of the mockumentary The Office and transformed into the dapper, muscular action star in Amazon’s Jack Ryan, where he played the character Tom Clancy, previously portrayed by Alec was Baldwin, Harrison Ford and Ben Affleck on the big screen. He also co-wrote, directed and starred in “A Quiet Place,” which grew into a three-film franchise, and created the short-lived but wildly popular pandemic-era web series “Some Good News.”

Earlier this year, he made his sixth directorial debut with IF, a film about imaginary friends that also starred Blunt.

Krasinski told People that the honor will likely lead to more than just jokes at home.

“I think it will make me do more housework,” he joked.

In its 40th year, Mel Gibson was the first Sexiest Man Alive. Other previous honorees include Brad Pitt, George Clooney, John F. Kennedy Jr., David Beckham, Michael B. Jordan, John Legend, Dwayne Johnson, Paul Rudd and Pierce Brosnan.
