Jim Halpert is Officially the Sexiest Man Alive: Reactions are...Mixed
John Krasinski, the man who stole our hearts as Jim Halpert in The Office, has officially been crowned People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive. That's right, the guy who pulled pranks on Dwight, proposed with a beet, and made us swoon with his charming smile is now the official sexiest man on the planet. But how did the internet react to this news?
From "OMG, I'm So Happy!" to "Hold Up, Really?"
The internet, as always, had a wide range of reactions. Some people were absolutely thrilled. After all, who wouldn't be excited to see the guy who made "Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica" a catchphrase win the coveted title? Others were more skeptical. Some questioned the validity of the whole "sexiest man alive" thing, asking, "Is it just a popularity contest?" Others were just confused, "Wait, is this just because he's in A Quiet Place now?"
More Than Just a Pretty Face
While Krasinski's looks are certainly undeniable, it seems like the internet appreciates more than just his good looks. His talent, his sense of humor, his genuinely kind personality, and his awesome marriage to Emily Blunt were all mentioned as reasons why he's deserving of the title. He's a guy who's made us laugh, cry, and maybe even shed a few tears of joy. He's basically the perfect boyfriend, even if he's already happily taken.
A Love Letter to Jim (and John)
So, is John Krasinski truly the Sexiest Man Alive? Maybe. But one thing's for sure: the reaction to his win proves that he's a genuinely likeable dude. He's the guy we all want to be friends with, the guy we'd happily get stuck in an elevator with, and the guy whose movie we'd watch on repeat. And that, in a way, is way sexier than just being good-looking.
