People has officially decreed this year’s choice for Sexiest Man Alive, and it’s John Krasinski.

The news was announced on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” Tuesday night with the 45-year-old actor making an appearance in the CBS studio.

“Look at him, I get it,” Colbert said after announcing the actor as the newest receiver of the title, extending his congratulations just as Krasinski surprised Colbert in the studio.

Krasinski, who is an actor, writer, director behind films such as “A Quiet Place,” “If” and more, is also married to actor Emily Blunt and the father of two: Hazel, 10, and Violet, 8.

“There was so much laughter on the other end of the phone,” Krasinski told Colbert of the moment he told Blunt that he would be named People’s 2024 Sexiest Man Alive, adding that actor Matt Damon was the only other person he confided in about the honor.

Last year, Patrick Dempsey was crowned People’s 2023 Sexiest Man Alive, telling the outlet at the time that he was “completely shocked” that he won the accolade.

“I’m glad it’s happening at this point in my life,” the actor said. “It’s nice to have the recognition, and certainly my ego takes a little bump, but it gives me the platform to use it for something positive.”

In 2022, Chris Evans was declared the pick for Sexiest Man Alive.

“My mom will be so happy,” Evans joked to People as he reacted to the news. “She’s proud of everything I do but this is something she can really brag about.”

The Sexiest Man Alive honor dates back to 1985, when Mel Gibson was deemed the very first celebrity to be given the title. Since then, winners have ranged from Patrick Swayze (1991) to Hugh Jackman (2008) and John Legend (2019).
