Office star Kate Flannery DEFENDS John Krasinski being named People's Sexiest Man Alive

As a seasoned observer of popular culture and a self-proclaimed connoisseur of Hollywood heartthrobs, I must say that this year’s selection for People’s Sexiest Man Alive has taken me by surprise. While John Krasinski is indeed a charming and talented individual, the collective experience of the world seems to have favored other candidates who, in my humble opinion, would have been more fitting for the title.


Kate Flannery spoke up in support of her ex-colleague, John Krasinski, following his recognition as People Magazine’s 2024 Sexiest Man Alive.

In the popular sitcom The Office, the actress, now 60 years old, memorably took on the character of Meredith Palmer, whereas John Krasinski, husband to Emily Blunt, played the role of Jim Halpert throughout an impressive span of nine seasons.

On Tuesday’s Late Show with Stephen Colbert, it came to light that the lead actor of A Quiet Place, aged 45, had been bestowed with an award. This news sparked a range of opinions among fans.

On Wednesday, Flannery expressed her joy upon learning about John’s victory during an interview with TMZ, adding that it was a just decision.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but share my thoughts. For far too long, in my humble opinion, John Krasinski has been overlooked during award seasons starting from 2005. It’s high time we acknowledge this fact.

Has he been around recently? Has it been since the 2018 action series called Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan that you last saw him?” she inquired, alluding to the popular series. “He’s just bulked up so much!

Flannery went on, “Every time I see him, it’s like his heat is melting my eyes. He and Emily are quite attractive, I find myself having to squint. To put it simply, he’s extremely good-looking.

It seems like everyone is tuning in now, which I’m delighted about. However, just to clarify, I’m not implying that I’ve had too much to drink when I say this,” she humorously pointed out.

Trust me, John is truly charming and extremely lovable, with a cuteness that’s hard to resist. However, I believe there may be a side of him that’s even more attractive, which people might not have noticed due to his adorable nature.

Later on, Kate expressed to the media, “It’s a wonderful blend of qualities – adorable, attractive, humorous, intelligent. He’s far more than just ‘Jim,’ though.

During a conversation with TMZ, Flannery reminisced about working with Krasinski on The Office. He commented, “John was consistently one of the nicest, funniest, and smartest people around.

When I first encountered him at “The Office,” neither of us had made any significant impact yet. In fact, we rose to fame collectively, and John always possessed an extraordinary quality – a truly exceptional trait.

She further added, ‘He’s so…he has so many gifts. He has so many talents. He is an amazing director. He is an amazing actor.’

After completing his stint on The Office, Krasinski shifted his focus to other roles, including directing and acting in films like A Quiet Place (2018).

Apart from that, he additionally helmed the follow-up movie “A Quiet Place Part II” and the recently premiered fantasy flick titled “IF,” which hit theaters in May this year.

Kate enthusiastically praised John as being “both genuinely amusing and intelligent,” further noting that “it’s refreshing he doesn’t feel the need to be humorous all the time, unlike others who do and can become tiring. Thus, John isn’t draining.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I can’t help but notice that charisma instantly when I meet someone, and John has always radiated it. It’s refreshing to see that even People Magazine is starting to recognize his unique charm now.

The news about John receiving the title sparked a variety of responses among the fans, with some expressing their opinions on platform X.

One typed, ‘trump is president. ari is snubbed at the grammys and now john krasinski is sexiest man alive.’ 

Another wrote, ‘I like John Krasinski. I really do. Having said that, there were better options, People. Have you seen Glen Powell?’ 

One wrote, ‘Glen Powell would have been the Sexiest Man of the Year,’ while another user commented, ‘Sorry, he’s charming indeed, but I was hoping for Pedro Pascal.’ (This version maintains the original sentiment and structure of the sentences, making them more natural and easier to read.)

A fan stated to People Magazine: “I’m a big fan of John Krasinski, but on this occasion, the most apparent solution was also the right one, and that solution was Pedro Pascal.

On the other hand, some individuals supported John as well. One person typed, ‘I believe it’s not widely known that a celebrity must give consent. This year, it seems they targeted Glen Powell, but he refused.’

As another supporter, I enthusiastically chimed in, “I’m thrilled! John Krasinski has been chosen as 2024’s Sexiest Man Alive. I’ve been a fan of his since ‘The Office’, and this recognition is well-deserved.

During an interview with the media outlet, the actor shared his immediate feelings when he found out about his award win.

‘Just immediate blackout, actually. Zero thoughts. Other than maybe I’m being punked.’

He added, ‘I don’t usually start my day pondering, “Could today be the day they crown me Sexiest Man Alive?”, but that’s exactly what happened. You all certainly set a high standard for me.’

Emily showed great enthusiasm upon learning the news, and she reminded him of the significant joy he felt when sharing it with her.

In a joking manner, the actress from The Devil Wears Prada playfully mentioned to John that she would cover their entire house with his magazine cover should he win, if such an event were to occur.

Is there footage of that event? It seems as if it could serve as an agreement, given its nature. I believe my kids would really enjoy it; it wouldn’t feel strange in the least.

John and Emily tied the knot back in 2010 – and share two children: Hazel, 10, and Violet, eight. 

Prior to Krasinski being titled People’s Sexiest Man Alive, there were reports suggesting that DailyMail.com approached Glen Powell and Pedro Pascal for the title, but their offers were consistently turned down by the magazine.

Year after year, our magazine sets its sights on potential contributors, yet not everyone we aspire to have on board is willing to join us. I wonder if they truly desired Patrick Dempsey for the cover last year?

This year, much like Patrick, John is an exceptional individual, yet it’s important to note that he wasn’t their first pick of choice.

2021 found me longing for a chance to interview two of my favorites, Glen Powell and Pedro Pascal. Time and again, I pleaded with the magazine to make it happen, but both gentlemen graciously declined each invitation that came their way.

According to the source, they each had valid causes for refusing, yet both were repeatedly asked by People Magazine to agree. However, their requests kept getting rejected.

Glen is eager to leave a greater mark on the acting world as he’s starting to land fantastic roles, helping him rise to stardom, whereas Pedro never felt drawn towards pursuing acting seriously.

As an insightful observer, I can see right through the facade, yet I find a subtle charm in its presentation. However, my sense of self-worth remains untouched by such flattery.
