People's 2024 “Sexiest Man Alive” is none other than The Office star John Krasinski.

They made the announcement on November 13, 2024, with a message from Krasinski. He revealed his wife Emily Blunt's reaction to it, saying he may pay the price in household chores for his win. With the holidays coming up, he is also aware that his brothers will never let him hear the end of it.

“No, this is not a dream. I have been named People's ‘Sexiest Man Alive.' What is happening?” Krasinski said in the reveal. “Just immediate blackout, so the brain just turned off, actually. Zero thoughts other than ‘Maybe I'm being punked.' And after that, it was a full surreality.

“That's not how I wake up, usually thinking, ‘Is this the day that I'll be asked to be ‘Sexiest Man Alive?' And yet, it was the day. You guys really raised the bar for me,” he continued.

Krasinski joins elite company as the 2024 “Sexiest Man Alive.” He follows the 2023 “Sexiest Man Alive,” Philadelphia Eagles legend Jason Kelce.

Was Glen Powell snubbed?

Some fans were not happy about Krasinski being named “Sexiest Man Alive.” Glen Powell is a popular name that is being thrown around as a snub.

“You’re not gonna sit here and tell me that Glen Powell didn’t solidify his spot as the ‘Sexiest Man Alive' after wearing a white t shirt and a cowboy hat in the pouring rain[?]” one X user, formerly Twitter, said, referring to his Twisters scene.

Another user weighted in, “The answer to People’s Sexiest Man Alive is Glen Powell…and even if it’s not, it’s still Glen Powell.”

The official account of Anyone but You, a rom-com Powell starred in with Sydney Sweeney, also backed him as the winner. “Glen Powell is still the sexiest man…in our hearts,” their post read.
