John Krasinski ‘Sexiest Man Alive’ title outrages Internet trolls
John Krasinski was the talk of the town on Tuesday with the reveal of his new title as People Magazine’s 2024 “Sexiest Man Alive.”
Krasinski, 45, posed for the yearly campaign on a New York City yellow taxi cab, and joked he had an “immediate blackout” upon hearing he received the coveted title, which had previously been bestowed on Patrick Dempsey, Chris Evans, Paul Rudd, Michael B. Jordan, Idris Elba and more.
Krasinski’s wife of 14 years, actress Emily Blunt, was equally jazzed about the cover and joked she was interested in wallpaper print for their Brooklyn home. “Do we have that on camera? Because that’s like a binding contract, I think,” Krasinski told People.com. “My children will love that, it won’t be weird at all.”
The Internet was set off when Krasinski’s cover was released, with fans and followers complimenting the choice, while some online trolls wondering how “The Office” actor earned the honor of the year.
