Did you know this actor is the sexiest man alive in 2024? The prestigious award was given by People magazine and it’s not Ryan Reynolds, Benny Blanco, Chris Evans, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt or even Robert Pattinson.
John Krasinski has officially been named People magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive” for 2024, a title he received with great surprise. The announcement was made during his appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday night, adding Krasinski to an elite roster of past honorees that includes last year’s winner, Patrick Dempsey, as well as global icons like George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Idris Elba.
Before the official reveal, a mix-up caused some confusion when a magazine cover featuring musician Benny Blanco sparked rumours that he had won the title. However, those rumours were quickly cleared up when Krasinski was announced as the true winner.
Krasinski became a household name playing Jim Halpert on The Office, but he’s since taken on major action roles, including playing Jack Ryan in Amazon’s Jack Ryan series. He also gained recognition as the writer, director, and star of the hit horror film A Quiet Place, which became a successful franchise. With this new title, Krasinski continues to prove his range and appeal.

In a recent interview with People, 45-year-old John Krasinski admitted he was “stunned” by being named Sexiest Man Alive for 2024. He jokingly described his reaction as “an immediate blackout… Zero thoughts,” even wondering if it was all just a prank. The actor also laughed about his wife, actress Emily Blunt, who had promised to use his People cover as wallpaper in their home. Krasinski quipped, “I think this will make me do more household chores. After this comes out, she’ll say, ‘That means you’re going to really earn it here at home!’”
Krasinski’s win places him in a distinguished group of past honorees, including George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Idris Elba, and Michael B. Jordan. From his iconic role in The Office to his successful transition into action with Jack Ryan and his directorial triumph with A Quiet Place, this new title is just another milestone in Krasinski’s impressive career. Fans can catch the full feature in the latest issue of People, hitting stands this Friday.
