This is the sexiest man alive of 2024

By

Idris Elba, John Legend, Brad Pitt and Patrick Dempsey; they have all once been able to call themselves ‘the sexiest man alive’. A title awarded every year by People Magazine. After months of discussions, one winner was chosen again. Actor John Krasinski is officially the hottest man of 2024. Something he, and we, did not see coming.

John who?

For those who don't immediately know who this is about: John Krasinski is an American actor best known for his role as Jim Halpert in the sitcom ‘The Office US’. He is now also active as a director and screenwriter. He made the ‘A Quiet Place’ film, in which he also starred alongside his wife, actress Emily Blunt. At the moment, he is working on a new project, ‘If’. In that, he does the script, production, direction, and also plays a role himself; quite a jack of all trades.

Unexpected win

When John heard that he had won the title ‘sexiest man alive’, he didn't quite know what to think. “Actually, I just had an immediate blackout. I had no thoughts, except that I might be getting pranked.” That he can now call himself the hottest man for a year is something he never expected. “I never woke up thinking: ‘Is this the day I'm asked to be the sexiest man in the world?”" His wife Emily was, in any case, over the moon with the news. Between laughs, it was hard for John to hear her exact reaction, although the joy was obvious. She even promised to wallpaper their entire house with her husband's cover photo. We want to see that.

Who actually chooses the winner?

If you ask a random group of people who they think is the hottest man, you'll get all sorts of different answers. Probably that's why People Magazine chose to determine the winner themselves with the editorial team. For months, they have been in discussions to choose who will receive the title. The public has no influence on that at all. Well, a tiny bit. The magazine does use panels that can at least say what they are looking for in ‘the sexiest man’. Even then, not everyone will ever agree. Reactions on social media range from very enthusiastic to mostly very surprised. Well, it always remains a matter of taste.
