People magazine has named John Krasinski the Sexiest Man Alive of 2024.

Krasinski was announced as the new winner of the honor on Tuesday’s episode of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.” The publication also shared a photo of its new cover on social media.

In the reveal, host Stephen Colbert expressed his anger at not being awarded the coveted title. Krasinski then appeared on screen to comfort Colbert and said, “It’s okay, you’re not the Sexiest Man Alive, but who cares?” Who is? Except for me, apparently.”

Krasinski then appeared in a hilarious ’80s infomercial-style video where he gave Colbert tips on how to be sexy.

The video featured a cameo appearance by former Sexiest Man Alive Chris Evans.

Krasinski is best known for his nine-season role as Jim Halpert on “The Office.” He also co-directed and starred in the 2018 film “A Quiet Place” with his wife, actress Emily Blunt, and also directed the 2020 sequel.

He also played the role of Jack Ryan in the Prime Video TV series “Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan” from 2018 to 2023. A film based on the series was announced last month.

Krasinski joked that when he told Blunt about his sexy performance, he couldn’t understand what she was saying because “there was so much laughter on the other end of the phone.”

Krasinski takes over the title from “Grey’s Anatomy” star Patrick Dempsey, who was named Sexiest Man Alive 2023.
