John Krasinski Named People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive, But Online Condemns His Choice

People magazine named John Krasinski the Sexiest Man Alive 2024 on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. However, on social media, where they had previously been outraged by another nominee, the 45-year-old actor's choice sparked discussion.

"John Krasinski is the sexiest man alive? Um, I'm not sure," "I'm so disappointed it's not even funny. I was up until midnight," "John Krasinski? Not Ryan Gosling!?" "This is worse than Benny Blanco to me. It's like giving him (the title. — Ed.) a piece of bread," people wrote. However, others had a more positive reaction: "Oh, come on. I think he's hot. Maybe not the hottest... but he's smart and funny."

Krasinski said he took the news of his win as a prank. He also said his wife, 41-year-old actress Emily Blunt, was "very happy" about the news.

"Am I really the sexiest man alive today? You've really raised the bar for me."

He also spoke about his wife Emily Blunt: "That's the beautiful thing about being married to someone, you're constantly learning and changing and evolving. And I'm so lucky to have gone through all of that with her."

The actor has been married to Emily Blunt since 2010. The couple has two daughters: 10-year-old Hazel and seven-year-old Violet.

Krasinski is best known for his role as Jim Halpert on the popular television series The Office, which ran from 2005 to 2013. He also gained fame for his roles in Michael Bay's 13 Hours and the TV series Jack Ryan. He has most recently made a name for himself as a director, releasing the horror film A Quiet Place and its sequel.

This is not the only candidate that Internet users did not like. For example, Selena Gomez's boyfriend, 36-year-old producer Benny Blanco, who is the reason why fans constantly harass the actress, was shortlisted for the sexiest men according to People. The Internet decided that Blanco did not belong there: just like next to Selena Gomez. Although some users supported Benny, noting that he "redefines sexuality", others decided that his place on the list was paid for by the 32-year-old singer herself.

People's Sexiest Man Alive list has included stars like Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Chris Evans, Robert Pattinson, and many others. In 2023, the title went to 58-year-old Grey's Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey.
