Former “The Office” star John Krasinski is People magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive” for 2024.

The actor, writer and director was revealed as this year’s winner on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” replacing last year’s winner, Patrick Dempsey.

“I think it will make me do more household chores,” the father of two told the magazine.

Krasinski first rose to fame as Jim Halpert on “The Office” before becoming a muscle-bound leading man in the Amazon action series “Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan” and co-writing, directing and starring in “A Quiet Place.” His acting credits also include playing a version of Fantastic Four’s Reed Richards in ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ and such films as ‘IF’, ‘The Muppets’, ‘It’s Complicated’, ‘The Holiday’ and ‘License to Wed’. .”

Taye Diggs, a true Syracuse University alumnus, received fan votes as the second sexiest Fiyero, behind current “Wicked” star Jonathan Bailey. Diggs briefly played the Fiyero character on Broadway from December 2003 to January 2004, when he was married to original Elphaba actress Idina Menzel. Bailey stars in the new film adaptation, based on ‘The Wonderful Wizard of Oz’ by Chittenango native L. Frank Baum, which hits theaters on November 22.
