John Krasinski, celebrated for his roles in ‘The Office’ and ‘Jack Ryan,’ humorously recounted his reaction to being named PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive. The actor described an “immediate blackout” when he heard the news, half-jokingly questioning whether it was a prank. Known for his grounded humour, Krasinski playfully imagined informing his wife, Emily Blunt, about the honour and suggested that it might mean taking on more household chores.
He shared anecdotes from his initial acting days, mentioning how, after the first season of ‘The Office,’ he considered returning to waiting tables before his acting career advanced. A memorable encounter with a fan in New York, who showed him an iPod featuring ‘The Office,’ marked a turning point for him.
In the interview, Krasinski discussed his physical preparation for ‘Jack Ryan’ and his directorial debut with ‘A Quiet Place.’ He also explored the influence of his latest film, ‘IF,’ which included his children in the production. He noted that this involvement altered their perception of his work and strengthened family ties. Krasinski’s narrative weaves his professional achievements and experiences with fatherhood and fame, highlighting his journey through Hollywood with humour and a deep commitment to family.
