Cybernauts had loads to say about People magazine awarding John Krasinski the 2024 Sexiest Man Alive title. The criticism of the annual Sexiest Man Alive title awarded to The Office star comes after a wave of controversy surrounding the final decision, with Harry Styles and Benny Blanco as nominees, stirring debate.

John was crowned People’s 2024 Sexiest Man Alive. As per tradition, the winner was revealed on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, which aired on CBS on Tuesday (November 12), Bored Panda reported.

The result sparked divided reactions, as a Facebook user commented: “I’m not saying no…. But how can he beat Henry Cavill?”

A person wrote: “Who determines this? Did I miss the vote or something he’s not a bad looking guy, but sexiest alive is a bit of a stretch.”

“Other than maybe I’m being punked. 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,” he continued.

Earlier this month, Role Model, the 27-year-old singer born Tucker Pillsbury, expressed his frustration after losing to Harry Styles in People’s “Sexiest Musician Alive” poll for 2024. 

Despite his aggressive campaigning, including humorous pleas on social media, Role Model was named runner-up following a poll that garnered nearly 350,000 votes. 

After the results were announced on October 29, Role Model vented on Instagram, accusing People of missing the chance to celebrate an underdog story and mocking Harry’s indifference to the honor.

Meanwhile, Benny Blanco, Selena Gomez’s 36-year-old record producer boyfriend, faced online trolling after being named among the famous men eligible for People’s Sexiest Man Alive title.

Despite the criticism, Selena publicly supported Benny, sharing heartfelt messages on Instagram about his unconditional love and his efforts to make her favorite Taco Bell dish.
