Grab an oversized fan and head directly to the nearest fainting couch, because the people at People have officially selected 2024’s Sexiest Man Alive. The winner is… drumroll please… John Krasinki.

The announcement was televised during Tuesday’s installment of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, as has become tradition, because who else would we trust with such an important — not to mention sexy — unveiling? Despite Colbert’s vocal disappointment in not winning himself, he graciously welcomed Krasinski onto the show for the sexiest interview alive.
