Emily Blunt has always been her husband John Krasinski’s biggest fan, but when the People magazine officially crowned him “Sexiest Man Alive,” her reaction was nothing short of priceless. The beloved Hollywood couple is known for their humor and down-to-earth personalities, and Emily didn’t disappoint with her witty response.
In a recent interview, the A Quiet Place actress joked, “Well, I always knew he was sexy, but now it’s official—he can’t ever argue with me about taking out the trash again. The Sexiest Man Alive can’t have an excuse for not doing chores, right?”
Her playful jab had fans in stitches, as social media erupted with memes and reactions. Many couldn’t help but highlight how John Krasinski’s charm, coupled with his role as a lovable dad and a talented actor-director, makes him the perfect choice for the title.
The actor, who gained fame as Jim Halpert on The Office and later transformed into an action star in Jack Ryan, thanked his wife during his acceptance speech for the title. “Emily’s my everything—my inspiration, my partner, and now my favorite comedian for how she’s handling this news,” he said.
Fans of the couple have been celebrating the title as much as they’ve been enjoying Emily’s cheeky comments. Some even called for a joint photoshoot of the duo for the magazine, saying, “They’re both so good-looking—it’s unfair to the rest of us!”
For now, Emily Blunt seems to be relishing the chance to poke fun at her husband, adding during the interview, “Let’s just hope his ego doesn’t get too big, or I’ll have to remind him who really runs the house.”
John Krasinski might be “Sexiest Man Alive,” but fans agree Emily Blunt is the true MVP of this award season.
