The Bay State can claim a new top-dog in the looks department, as Massachusetts native John Krasinski has been crowned People’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2024. The reveal was made on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert”, where Krasinski, a Newton-born star who first caught our collective gaze on “The Office” before making noise, quite literally with the critically acclaimed “Quiet Place” franchise, and subsequently amping up the action in Amazon’s “Jack Ryan,” was honored with the tongue-in-cheek title. “I thought someone was pranking me when I heard the news,” Krasinski said, according to a
Boston 25 News
report.
Succeeding the likes of last year’s hunk, Patrick Dempsey, Krasinski accepted the accolade with a mix of humor and disbelief, suggesting his wife, the actress Emily Blunt should cover the walls of their home with copies of the magazine. Not one to shy away from self-deprecation, Krasinski, 45, admitted to People Magazine that his immediate reaction was “just immediate blackout, actually. Zero thoughts,” as noted by a
CBS News
interview. Humor was further served up by Colbert who, in jest, expressed his disappointment for not snagging the title himself.
Aside from his endeavors in acting and directing, Krasinski also became known during the pandemic for his feel-good web series “Some Good News,” which provided an uplifting take on current events. This year, his creative output included the film “IF,” which he both directed and co-starred in with Blunt. The power couple shares two daughters together, adding to Krasinski’s down-to-earth appeal that complements his now officially recognized sex appeal, as per

Krasinski’s latest personal accolade, seems to elicit more than just bragging rights at home. “I think it’s going to make me do more household chores,” he quipped in the People Magazine feature. Since Mel Gibson first snagged the title in 1985, the prestigious, if not cheeky, honor has been bestowed upon a variety of men, including the likes of Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and last year’s charmer, Patrick Dempsey. With this latest title, Krasinski joins an exclusive club of men who have defined a certain je ne sais quoi for nearly four decades, according to
