John Krasinski has shared his wife Emily Blunt's hilarious response after he was named the Sexiest Man Alive, by People magazine.

The actor went on to joke that his new title won't help him at home, and will make him do 'more household chores': 'She'll be like, "All right, that means you’re going to really earn it here at home."'
Emily and John have been married for 14 years and share two daughters Hazel, 10, and Violet, eight.
In his cover story for People, John shared his surprise at earning the title: 'That's not how I wake up, 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 guys have really raised the bar for me.'
