Fans are sharply divided over People magazine’s choice of John Krasinski as the 2024 Sexiest Man Alive. Announced on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the decision sparked a social media frenzy, with reactions ranging from excitement to bewilderment.

While some fans celebrated the Office star’s win, others were less enthusiastic, expressing surprise that Krasinski, 45, was chosen over other Hollywood icons. “John Krasinski sexiest man alive? Hmmmm I'm not sure,” wrote one fan, while another criticized, “This is worse than Benny Blanco… like giving it to a slice of bread.” Another disappointed fan added, “I stayed up till midnight for this bulls**t.”

Not all reactions were critical. Supporters chimed in with positive comments, including, “Oh come be nice, I think he’s sexy… maybe not sexiest… but he is smart and funny.” Another user remarked, “I can totally get on board with this pick.”

Krasinski himself admitted to People he initially thought he was “being punked,” a sentiment echoed by both his fans and critics. Sharing his wife Emily Blunt’s supportive reaction, Krasinski noted she was “very excited” about his title.
