Dunder Mifflin once employed the sexiest man alive.
The Office alum John Krasinski was revealed as People’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2024 during the Nov. 12 episode of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.
And when host Stephen Colbert noted that it was Krasinski’s kindness and thoughtfulness that earned him the honor, the actor quipped, “I think it’s that—and the biceps.”
So, how did Krasinski react when he found out he won the coveted title? “Just immediate blackout, actually. Zero thoughts,” the 45-year-old told the magazine in an article published Nov. 12. “Other than maybe I’m being punked. That’s not how I wake up, thinking, ‘Is this the day that I’ll be asked to be Sexiest Man Alive?’ And yet it was the day you guys did it. You guys have really raised the bar for me.”
Krasinski—who shares daughters Hazel, 10, and Violet, 8, with wife Emily Blunt—revealed that the Devil Wears Prada actress was “very excited” when she learned about the honor, and even promised to use his magazine cover as wallpaper in their Brooklyn home.
