But it was John Krasinski who was crowned PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive on Wednesday, Nov. 15.

When he first heard he was earning the No. 1 spot, the writer/director, 45, told PEOPLE he had an "immediate blackout."

"Zero thoughts. Other than maybe I’m being punked. That’s not how I wake up usually, thinking, 'Is this the day that I’ll be asked to be Sexiest Man Alive?' And yet it was the day you guys did it. You really raised the bar for me," Krasinski told PEOPLE.

He added that his wife, actress Emily Blunt was "very excited" for him earning the Sexiest Man Alive title. "There was a lot of joy involved in me telling her," Krasinski said.
