Martha Stewart backs John Krasinski’s Sexiest Man Alive title: ‘He’s quite attractive’
Martha Stewart is supporting the newly crowned 2024 Sexiest Man Alive.
The lifestyle icon defended John Krasinski, who was recently awarded this honor by People magazine, during an interview with the publication.
“He’s visited my house and he’s quite attractive,” Stewart stated at a recent Louis Vuitton event in New York City. She also praised Krasinski’s versatility, saying he is “really good at all the work he does.”
The lifestyle mogul, known for her blunt humor, added a playful remark: “Watch out, wife,” referring to Krasinski’s 14-year marriage to Emily Blunt, his co-star in “A Quiet Place” and its sequel.
The title of Sexiest Man Alive has been an annual tradition for People magazine since its first recipient, Mel Gibson, in 1985. The only exception was in 1993, when Richard Gere and Cindy Crawford were recognized as the Sexiest Couple Alive, and there was no honoree in 1994.
Last year’s titleholder was Patrick Dempsey, famously known as “McDreamy” from “Grey’s Anatomy.”
John Krasinski, Martha Stewart reach memorable TV moments during Tuesday’s appearances
It’s been a significant week for Krasinski, from Stewart to Stephen Colbert. On Tuesday night, he appeared on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” where the title of Sexiest Man Alive was revealed.
When asked how this new title might change his responsibilities at home with Blunt and their daughters, Hazel, 10, and Violet, 8, the “The Office” star joked with People magazine, saying, “I think it might mean I’ll have to do more chores around the house, but I’m ready to accept both the good and the bad that come with it.”
Stewart also had a memorable moment during her Tuesday appearance when she jokingly pushed Drew Barrymore away after the host became overly friendly during her time on “The Drew Barrymore Show.”
At one point in their chat, the “50 First Dates” actress asked Stewart what makes her feel “soft and gooey.” Stewart replied, “Soft and gooey treatment.” Barrymore then touched Stewart’s back while complimenting her.
“You’re the wrong gender,” Stewart playfully remarked, before gently pushing Barrymore away.
