Actor and director John Krasinski has been named PEOPLE magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2024. The star of The Office and A Quiet Place shared his initial reaction to the accolade with his trademark humour, calling it a moment of “full surreality.”

“No, this is not a dream,” Krasinski joked. “Just an immediate blackout. The brain just turned off, actually. Zero thoughts other than maybe I'm being punked. After that, it was just, yeah, a full surreality.”

Reflecting on the surprise, he added, “That’s not how I wake up, usually thinking, ‘Is this the day I’ll be asked to be Sexiest Man Alive?’ And yet, it was the day. You guys did it. You really raised the bar for me."

Krasinski shared that his wife, actor Emily Blunt, was thrilled for him as well.

“I did tell Emily, and she was very excited. There was a lot of joy involved, but I do think it’s going to make me do more household chores,” he laughed. “But I’m willing to take the cons with the pros, to be honest. I think after the cover comes out, she’ll be like, ‘All right, that means you’re going to really earn it at home,'” he said.

Krasinski also said how his brothers might be left in disbelie. "My brothers will probably wonder how this is possible for years to come," added the Quiet Place actor.

Last year. Patrick Dempsey was announced as The Sexiest Man Alive while in 2022, Chris Evans was the one who was bestowed with the title.
