LOS ANGELES (AP) — Let the office debates begin — Johannes Krasinski is People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2024.

The magazine announced the actor-writer-director Tuesday night during “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”

Krasinski starred in “The Office” before launching the “Quiet Place” franchise and helming the action series “Jack Ryan.” He joked in an interview with the magazine that he hopes his wife, fellow actor Emily Blunt, makes good on her promise to plaster the cover like wallpaper in their home.

He takes the mantle of last year’s honoree, Patrick Dempsey.

Krasinski, 45, told People that his immediate reaction to the honor was “basically just an instant blackout. No thoughts.” He added that he thought he might be being fooled.

He rose to fame playing the lanky, lanky Jim in the US version of the mockumentary ‘The Office’, and transformed into the toned, muscular action star in Amazon’s ‘Jack Ryan’, playing the Tom Clancy character previously played by Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford and Ben Affleck on the big screen. He also wrote, directed and co-starred in “A Quiet Place,” which has grown into a three-film franchise, and created the short-lived but wildly popular pandemic-era web series “Some Good News.”

Earlier this year, he debuted his sixth directorial role, “IF,” a film about imaginary friends that also starred Blunt.

The couple have two daughters together.

Krasinski told People in the issue, which hits newsstands Friday, that the honor will likely lead to more than just jokes at home.

“I think that will make me do more house chores,” he joked.

Now in its 40th year, Mel Gibson was the first Sexiest Man Alive. Other previous recipients include Brad Pitt, George Clooney, John F. Kennedy Jr., David Beckham, Michael B. Jordan, John Legend, Dwayne Johnson, Paul Rudd and Pierce Brosnan.
