John Krasinski has revealed he 'hurt George Clooney's feelings' after he got engaged to now-wife Emily Blunt.

As the real-life Pam to his Jim, Blunt accepted Krasinski's proposal in August 2009 after dating for only a matter of months.

Though they've since been branded 'couple goals', news of their engagement probably broke the hearts of a lot of The Office or The Devil Wears Prada fans who had developed hopeful crushes on the two stars.

And fans weren't the only ones whose feelings were hurt after Krasinski and Blunt's engagement, though, as the star himself revealed while speaking with Elle in 2016.

The interview took place six years after the two actors tied the knot in a quiet ceremony at a house on Lake Como in Italy - but this wasn't any old home.

It was the home of none other than Clooney himself.

Before they made it there, though, the couple had some planning to do.

Having grown up with 'the Boston vibe and the Catholic vibe', Krasinski didn't 'want to put anybody out' for the wedding - not even when Clooney offered up his house for the event.

"George said, 'I have this place and you should feel free to use it'," he recalled - but he admitted that he turned the movie star's offer down three times before accepting.

"Only on the fourth ask did I say yes," Krasinski continued. "Because the first three times I thought, 'There's no way he is serious.' But I started to see his feelings get hurt. I actually hurt George Clooney's feelings."

Thankfully, it seems that Krasinski saved Clooney's feelings by finally accepting the offer and getting married at his home.

Since then, Krasinski and Blunt have continued to prove themselves as a power couple, having gone on welcome two children together, Hazel and Violet, as well as working together on the A Quiet Place movies.

In 2013, Blunt praised Krasinski for having 'changed [her] life'.

"When I feel the support that I have from him, I feel invincible," she told InStyle. "There's someone behind you on your good days and someone in front of you on your bad days."

The couple attended the Golden Globe awards together on Sunday (January 7), though they sparked concern when Krasinski was spotted making a comment to Blunt which fans feared revealed a breakdown in their relationship.

Comments aside, however, the pair seemed happy enough as they posed together at the Golden Globes - where Blunt was nominated in the category of Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture for her role in Oppenheimer.
