John Krasinski is the Sexiest Man Alive of 2024. The actor, who has continually impressed his followers and gained more with his grand and versatile acting skills, once believed he was living a more than perfect life.

Before we all saw him in action-packed series like Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan and the A Quiet Place action-horror films, he was a simple employee of the fictional paper company Dunder Mifflin.

The actor from 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi was not only happy with the role he played in the NBC comedy series but actually felt blessed.

In a conversation with Fresh Air's Dave Davies, as reported by an NPR article from 2016, John Krasinski stated, "I take stock of the fact every single day that I'm living a lottery-ticket life."

The star, who also appeared alongside Robin Williams in License to Wed, went on to say that it was “unbelievably rare” to be on the aforementioned NBC series.

He further explained that he tried his best to stay on that same series, adding that this was one of the reasons he began “writing, directing, and producing."

The interview came at a time when the Some Good News actor was working on his latest project, The Hollars.

For The Hollars, he took on the duties of director while also co-starring in the film alongside Margo Martindale, who played the character of his mother, hospitalized with a brain tumor.
