The Internet is divided as “the people” name John Krasinski “Sexiest Man Alive.”

What’s even more confusing is that the magazine somehow linked Krasinski’s performance to his most recent film IFin which he starred, wrote, produced and received mediocre reviews. Although he produced this year’s (much better film). A Quiet Place: Day OneKrasinski did not return to direct after directing the first two.

Krasinski appeared on The Late Show To publicize his selection, he discussed the news with host Stephen Colbert, who had the honor of announcing this year’s Sexiest Man Alive. “I’m so proud to see my friend grow from a goofy, loveable boy-next-door to a big, dumb sex stud,” Colbert told Krasinski.

The actor then shared an instructional video he and Colbert filmed about how to transform “from a sack of crap to a piece of beef.” The six steps include not eating Chris Evans and stealing sexy DNA.

It’s only been a few hours People‘s announcement, but the internet is already divided in its opinion, with many expressing some confusion as to why 2024 is Krasinski’s year and not, say, Glen Powell or Adam Brody. “John Krasinski is the sexiest man in the world in 2024……. Another devastating Tuesday night in November,” one X user wrote.

Another wrote: “If we MUST target middle America and stay white, Jonathan Bailey, Glenn Powell, James McAvoy, Paul Mescal, these are all men promoting something this season and that would have made more sense.” Standing up for Choosing John Krasinski is just lazy.”

“You’re not going to sit here and tell me Glen Powell hasn’t cemented his place as the sexiest man in the world after wearing a white t-shirt and a cowboy hat in the pouring rain,” someone added, while another fan joked : “If you’re ready to vote for Glen Powell, stay in line.”
