How Emily Blunt reacted to John Krasinski’s Sexiest Man Alive title

It wasn’t a quiet place for John Krasinski after Emily Blunt learned he was the People’s Sexiest Man Alive.

The “Office” alum, 45, teased that his wife is “very excited” about the news and she won’t be letting it go any time soon.

“I think it will make me do it more Chores,” Krasinski told People in his cover story. “After this comes out, she’ll be like, ‘Okay, that means you’re really going to earn it here at home.'”

Blunt, 41, also had an interior update in mind: He planned to wallpaper his home with his new cover photo.

“Do we have this on camera? Because it’s like a binding contract, I guess,” joked Krasinski, who shares daughters Hazel, 10, and Violet, 8, with Blunt. “My kids will love this, it won’t be weird at all.”

The “Quiet Place” director added that it was “a great joy” to share the news with his other half of 14 years.

“The beauty of being married to someone is that you’re constantly learning and changing and evolving,” Krasinski said of their relationship. “And I’m so lucky to be able to go through all of this with her.”

What did the “Jack Ryan” star, who took over the title of People’s Sexiest Man for 2023 winner Patrick Dempsey, think about adding another title to his resume?

“Actually just an instant blackout. No thoughts,” Krasinski admitted. “Apart from the fact that I might get screwed. So I don’t wake up and think, “Is this the day I’m going to be asked to be the Sexiest Man Alive?” And yet it was the day you did it. You guys really raised the bar for me.”

Krasinski and Blunt tied the knot in 2010 and have been vocal about their relationship together over the years.

In 2011, Krasinski admitted on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” that he “wasn’t really looking for a relationship” when he first moved to Los Angeles, but Blunt quickly changed his tune.

“Then I met her and I was so nervous. I thought, ‘Oh God, I think I’m going to fall in love with her,'” he shared, adding that the chemistry between them was undeniable right away. “It’s one of those things where you kind of know someone as soon as you meet them.”

Blunt opened up about her marriage to Krasinski to InStyle in 2013.

“Meeting John really changed my life,” said the actress. “When I feel the support I have from him, I feel invincible. On good days there is someone behind you and on bad days there is someone in front of you.”

In August 2015, Krasinski told People that he was Blunt’s “No. 1 fan.”

“It’s really like we just got lucky,” he said of their romance. “It’s one of those things. I’m having more fun now than I did the day I met her and it’s pretty wild.”

“I think when you dedicate your life to something like that, it changes everything. All the clichés are true,” the star added.
