If I told you 10 years ago that a man from The Office would be named 'Sexiest Man Alive', you wouldn't have believed me.

Yet here we are, 11 years after the end of the famed sitcom and John Krasinski is People magazine's 2024 winner - but he's certainly had a glow up from being 'Jim'.

Emily Blunt's hubby had to fend off some pretty fierce competition in Glen Powell, Ryan Gosling, Max Greenfield and Joe Jonas - to name just a few of the heartthrobs.

Every year since 1985, People have named the Sexiest Man Alive, possibly the highest honor any male celeb could hope for.

The first man to claim the title was Mel Gibson, and now Krasinski is the latest to receive the confidence-boosting accolade.

The 45-year-old father-of-two was a bit taken back to hear the news. Speaking to People magazine, he said: "Just immediate blackout, actually. Zero thoughts.

"Other than maybe I'm being punked. That's not how I wake up, thinking, ‘Is this the day that I'll be asked to be Sexiest Man Alive?’ And yet it was the day you guys did it. You guys have really raised the bar for me.”

Krasinski followed his success in The Office by getting in shape for the 2016 war film 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, and stayed ripped for his starring role in the epic Prime Video series Jack Ryan.

More recently however, he's gotten into directing - as he co-wrote and starred alongside his 41-year-old wife in the 2018 thriller A Quiet Place - which was so successful two more films came from it.

Speaking about life with living with his fellow actor and mom of their two kids Blunt, he said: “It’s that beautiful thing where when you’re married to someone, you’re constantly learning and changing and evolving."

“And I’m so lucky to go through all that with her.”

He conceded, however, that this title may not do him favors around the house, adding: "I think it's going to make me do more household chores. After this comes out, she’ll be like, ‘All right, that means you’re going to really earn it here at home'."

But over on Twitter, some people aren't so happy.

One person commented: "They could’ve chosen someone better ngl," as a second said: "Who is picking these men we need to chat."

While a third added: "They could’ve chosen someone better."

But not everyone thought that way, as one person typed: "Oh yes daddy john krasinski."

While another commented: "Whoa, Jim from the office is officially top tier."

And a third said: "Krasinski's charm and humor make him the perfect Sexiest Man Alive. He’s relatable and down-to-earth!"

Personally, I agree with the last sentiment - go on Krasinski, you're officially the sexiest man on the planet for the next few months!
