John Krasinski is this year’s sexiest man alive, according to PEOPLE
The 45-year-old actor, known for blending charm, humour, and some serious action-star grit, was genuinely stunned by the news.
“Just immediate blackout, actually. Zero thoughts,” Krasinski told PEOPLE.
“Other than maybe I’m being punked.”
The award wasn’t exactly on his radar, but he’s taking it all in stride, sharing that his wife, actress Emily Blunt, was thrilled by the honour.
“There was a lot of joy involved in me telling her,” Krasinski joked, adding that Blunt once teased she’d wallpaper their house with his cover if he ever won the title.
John Krasinski’s journey to “Sexiest Man Alive” status has been a long and memorable one, starting with his breakout role as Jim Halpert on The Office.
Playing the lovable prankster for nearly a decade made him a fan favourite, setting up a Hollywood career that would only grow. Krasinski’s range became obvious when he co-wrote, directed, and starred in the horror hit A Quiet Place alongside Blunt, transforming him from comedy darling to multi-genre superstar.
Krasinski also stunned audiences with his physical transformation in Michael Bay’s 13 Hours, where he portrayed a Navy SEAL, and he has since flexed those action muscles as the title character in Jack Ryan on Prime Video.
This year’s PEOPLE cover seems to be the cherry on top of an impressive career, and his fans couldn’t be more thrilled.
Since 1985, PEOPLE has crowned 34 celebrities with this coveted title, starting with Mel Gibson.
While there’s been no shortage of Hollywood heartthrobs, only a select few have managed to win the honour twice, including Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, and George Clooney.
Interestingly, the title has spanned beyond actors, with five non-actors—John F. Kennedy Jr., Adam Levine, David Beckham, Blake Shelton, and John Legend—receiving the honour over the years.
Last year, Patrick Dempsey, best known as “McDreamy” from Grey’s Anatomy, claimed the crown, becoming the 15th onscreen doctor to win the title.
