John Krasinski on Sexiest Man Alive and Family Life

John Krasinski on Sexiest Man Alive and Family Life

“Just immediate blackout. Zero thoughts,” John Krasinski told People in reaction to the news. The actor is perhaps best known for his sardonic nice guy role in the television comedy ‘The Office’.

“Other than maybe I’m being punked. That’s not how I wake up, thinking, ‘Is this the day that I’ll be asked to be the Sexiest Man Alive?’ And yet it was the day you guys did it. You guys have raised the bar for me,” he added.

Krasinski, 45, said that out of all of the opportunities he’s had as an actor, being a real-life family man is most rewarding.

He prefers being a husband and father who happily lives in Brooklyn with his wife of 14 years, actress Emily Blunt, 41, and their daughters Hazel, 10, and Violet, 8.

The actor was especially excited to tell Blunt the news, saying, “There was a lot of joy involved in me telling her.”

Blunt joked that she plans to wallpaper their house with the cover of Krasinski if he receives the title.

“It’s that beautiful thing where when you’re married to someone, you’re constantly learning and changing and evolving,” he said.

“And I’m so lucky to go through all that with her,” he added.

Recently, Krasinski has directed the comedy ‘IF’ and the dramas ‘A Quiet Place’ and ‘A Quiet Place Part II’, both featuring Blunt in a leading role.

However, he noted that the new title will change things very little around the house.

“I think it’s going to make me do more household chores,” he joked.
