LOS ANGELES -

Get ready for the debate to heat up! John Krasinski has officially been named People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2024. The exciting announcement was made on Tuesday night during a special segment of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert."

Known for his memorable role as the lovable Jim Halpert on the groundbreaking series "The Office," Krasinski has successfully transitioned into a serious actor and filmmaker with hits like the "A Quiet Place" franchise and the action-packed Amazon series "Jack Ryan." During his interview with People, the charming actor humorously expressed that he is excitedly awaiting the moment his wife, actress Emily Blunt, fulfills her promise to wallpaper their home with his magazine cover.

At the age of 45, Krasinski succeeds last year's winner, Patrick Dempsey, and shared that his first reaction to receiving this title was one of disbelief. "Just immediate blackout, actually. Zero thoughts. I thought I might be getting pranked," he joked.

Krasinski's journey started when he captured the hearts of audiences with his endearing portrayal of Jim. But, the handsome star has evolved into an action hero, stepping into the shoes of Tom Clancy's iconic character, Jack Ryan—a role previously brought to life by legends like Alec Baldwin and Harrison Ford. His impressive directorial work, including co-writing and helming the critically acclaimed "A Quiet Place" series, has solidified his place in Hollywood.

This year saw the release of his sixth directorial project, "IF," a refreshing take on imaginary friends, co-starring none other than his talented wife, Blunt. Together, they are proud parents to two adorable daughters, enriching their lives with joy and laughter.

In his candid interview, Krasinski playfully acknowledged that this new title might lead to an increase in his household responsibilities. "I think it's going to make me do more household chores," he teased, showcasing his down-to-earth personality.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of People’s Sexiest Man Alive issue, a prestigious title first awarded to none other than Mel Gibson back in 1985. Over the years, stars like Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and Dwayne Johnson have held the title, making Krasinski part of an illustrious legacy.

As fans eagerly await his next projects, one thing's for sure: John Krasinski's charm and talent continue to resonate in Hollywood—and now he wears the crown of the Sexiest Man Alive! What do you think makes him the ultimate choice for 2024? Let the discussions begin!
