Well, once again, People Magazine did not choose me as their “Sexiest Man Alive” (checking my pulse, yep, I’m alive).

Instead, they chose actor, director, and funny man John Krasinski.

Is he good looking? Sure.  Does the fact that he’s funny make him sexier? That’s what all the surveys say.

However, even John was surprised, joking that he thought it was a prank.

Here’s the rest of the story:

John Krasinski has officially won the title of People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2024, and let’s just say he’s a little surprised by it. During his appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, he jokingly admitted that when he first heard the news, he thought it was some kind of prank. I mean, who wouldn’t question this honor when you spend more time in a hoodie than at fashion week? But if there’s anyone who can deliver charm and humor with a side of humility, it’s our favorite former office paper salesman.

In a classic Krasinski twist, he mentioned how this new title might actually help with the family dynamics at home. I can just picture his daughters rolling their eyes at dad, and now they might think twice—after all, “Your dad’s the Sexiest Man Alive” is some serious bragging rights at the next school function! Imagine the conversation starter that would create: “Sure, your dad fixes the family car, but mine’s got his own cover shoot!” It’s the perfect dose of family-friendly eye-rolling we didn’t know we needed.

The best part of Krasinski’s reveal is that he also reflected on how he doesn’t quite see himself in this light, showcasing that even the most hunky guys can harbor some self-doubt. It adds a comforting relatability to the glamour of Hollywood, reminding us that behind the accolades, they’re just people dealing with their own insecurities. That’s probably why he resonates profoundly with fans—he balances charm and humor with a genuine persona that keeps us entertained.

So here’s to you, John Krasinski—proof that even if life throws accolades your way, it’s all about how you handle it with grace (and a bit of humor)! And let’s be honest, if anyone deserves the crown, it’s the same guy who made us laugh and cry in “A Quiet Place”. Here’s hoping he leverages that title for some family-friendly shenanigans!

So, if not John, then who?
