John Krasinski: Named Sexiest Man Alive 2024, happy with his wife

Actor John Krasinski has just been named 'Sexiest Man Alive 2024' by People magazine. The 2024 nomination list features Benny Blanco, Harry Styles, Twilight star Robert Pattinson and Justin Bieber...

On November 13, People announced the voting results belonged to the American actor and producer. In an interview that same day, he said he "had amnesia" when he learned he had won the award, thinking nothing but that he had been cheated. "You guys raised my standards," Krasinski thanked the organizers.

The actor said his wife - actress Emily Blunt, 41 - was very happy to receive the news. Previously, she joked that she would hang pictures of her husband all over the house if he won the title. "I think she should promise on camera as a witness. My two daughters will love the picture-posting, they don't think it's strange," he added.

Although he is a famous actor and film producer, Krasinski has a very simple life. Besides the moments of dedication to art, when he returns home, he just wants to do well as a husband and father of his family.

John Krasinski was born in 1979, famous for his role as Jim Halpert in the series The Office (2005-2013). He continued to make his mark as an American commando in 13 Hours (2016) and a CIA agent in the series Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan (2018-2023) - preparing to release a film version. In 2018, he directed, wrote and starred in the horror film A Quiet Place. Emily Blunt also participated in the film. The success of the project paved the way for him to make two sequels, respectively A Quiet Place 2 (2020) and A Quiet Place: Day One (2024).

This year, John Krasinski released the fantasy comedy Imaginary Friends (IF), co-starring Ryan Reynolds. People commented that he affirmed his position as one of Hollywood's top filmmakers by taking on many roles from director, screenwriter, producer to actor.

Krasinski currently lives in Brooklyn with his wife and two children, Hazel, 10, and Violet, eight. He and Emily Blunt, who married in 2010, are considered one of the most beautiful couples on and off screen. According to ABC News, the two first met at a restaurant in 2008 and knew Blunt was the woman of his life the moment they shook hands.

Also in the conversation with People, Krasinski said that he is now learning to take control of his decisions and appreciate the life he has built with his wife. "For me, constantly learning, changing and growing with my partner is the best part of marriage. I am lucky to experience all of that with her," he added.

According to Krasinski, the "Sexiest Man Alive" title doesn't change much in the present. "I think it's going to make me do more housework. My wife is going to say, 'You have to work a lot at home to deserve the title.'"

Emily Blunt and John Krasinski met by chance when both were still happily single. Emily Blunt was sitting with a friend in a restaurant when the handsome American actor and director walked in, making her heart flutter. As for John Krasinski, he once confided that he was extremely nervous when he saw the figure of the girl who would become his future wife. "She is one of the coolest people in the world. She is talented, beautiful and completely out of my reach," Krasinski recalled his feelings at that time.

Perhaps this date was so wonderful that less than a year later, the couple officially got engaged. When Krasinski proposed, Emily Blunt burst into tears and both the couple and those around them were moved to tears. In July 2010, they secretly got married at superstar George Clooney's private home in Italy. A small, private wedding with the presence of close friends marked a new page in their dream love story.

From dating to having a family of four, Emily Blunt and John Krasinski's popularity has only increased. Their careers have also grown like a "kite in the wind".

When they first met, Emily Blunt was somewhat more famous than her future husband. Her classically beautiful face and elegant acting style helped Blunt get into the historical film genre. The lead role of Queen Victoria in The Young Victoria brought Emily Blunt to a new milestone. But the talented actress was not satisfied with the type of female lead role that only knew how to be beautiful. In Edge of Tomorrow with Tom Cruise, Sicario with Josh Brolin, Emily Blunt proved that she was completely suitable for the type of strong and tough female character. This was also the premise for her combination with Krasinski on screen later.

John Krasinski had a more difficult acting career. He started acting early but did not make much of an impression in film roles. The role of Jim Halpert in the TV series The Office helped Krasinski gain a certain reputation. He often plays lovable guys in comedies and is known as a comedian. His singing and dancing talents helped Krasinski become more famous when participating in reality TV shows. He was also invited to audition for Captain America but was unsuccessful. However, every step in his career was worth it when it brought John Krasinski to the role he was truly born to take on - film director and screenwriter.

"Sexiest Man Alive" is a special publication of People magazine, published annually since 1985. The voting method is taken from the "100 Influential People" ranking of Time magazine, based on the decision of the evaluation board and online votes.

Last year, actor Patrick Dempsey was honored. Many stars such as Chris Evans, Paul Rudd, Keanu Reeves, David Beckham, The Rock, Tom Cruise have been named. Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, George Clooney, Richard Gere have won the award twice.
