Emily Blunt jokingly stated that she wanted her husband John Krasinski’s “Sexiest Man Alive” cover to be turned into wallpaper for their home during an interview with a magazine. Krasinski, who shares two daughters with Blunt, responded by saying that it sounded like a binding contract and joked that his children would love it. Later that same night, Krasinski was named People Magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive” for 2024 on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert”. Initially, Krasinski thought he was being pranked when he learned of the news.
When asked if his new title would change anything in his life, Krasinski talked about how he expected it would mean he would have to do more household chores. He jokingly mentioned that his wife, Blunt, was very excited when she heard the news and that there was a lot of joy in telling her. The couple got married in 2010 at George Clooney’s estate in Italy and Krasinski expressed his gratitude for being able to learn and grow alongside his wife throughout their marriage.
Blunt and Krasinski have appeared together in several films such as “A Quiet Place” and its sequel, both of which Krasinski directed and starred in. Krasinski revealed that he had to pitch the idea for “A Quiet Place” to the studio many times before they agreed to it, and mentioned the amusing fact that someone had asked if Jim from “The Office” would be directing the film. The couple’s most recent film together, “If,” was released in 2024.
Krasinski discussed his shock and blackout moment when he first found out he had been named “Sexiest Man Alive”. He described the honor as raising the bar for him and felt that it would make him earn more respect at home. He mentioned that he has a supportive and excited wife in Blunt, who shares in his joy. The couple seems to have a playful dynamic and mutual admiration for each other’s work.
The playful banter between Blunt and Krasinski adds a lighthearted touch to the story of Krasinski being named “Sexiest Man Alive”. Their shared experiences in the film industry, particularly working together on successful projects like “A Quiet Place,” further illustrate their strong partnership in both their personal and professional lives. Krasinski’s humor and humility shine through in his reactions to the title and his commitment to his family. The couple’s down-to-earth attitude and support for each other are key factors in their successful marriage.
