Wed Nov 13 11:12:46 UTC 2024: ## John Krasinski Named People’s Sexiest Man Alive 2024
**New York, NY** – Actor John Krasinski has been crowned *People magazine’s* Sexiest Man Alive for 2024, the publication announced Tuesday night on *The Late Show with Stephen Colbert*. The news follows some online confusion after a magazine clipping featuring musician Benny Blanco led many to believe he had received the title.
Krasinski, best known for his role as Jim Halpert in *The Office*, has since gone on to star in the *A Quiet Place* franchise and Amazon’s action series *Jack Ryan*. He joked to *People* that his wife, actress Emily Blunt, might fulfill her promise to use his cover as wallpaper in their home. The 45-year-old actor admitted his initial reaction to the news was “immediate blackout…Zero thoughts…I wondered if I was being pranked.”
The earlier mix-up occurred when a clipping showed Benny Blanco at home with the words “Sexiest Man Alive Issue” nearby, sparking online speculation that he was this year’s pick.
Krasinski, who recently released his sixth directorial project *IF* starring his wife, told *People* that his new title might inspire more than just jokes at home. “I think it’s going to make me do more household chores,” he quipped. “After this comes out, she’ll be like, ‘All right, that means you’re going to really earn it here at home.'”
Previous title holders of *People’s* “Sexiest Man Alive” include Paul Rudd, Michael B Jordan, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, John Legend, Idris Elba, Chris Hemsworth, and Channing Tatum. The feature has been an annual event for *People magazine* since its inception.
