Will Ferrell reacts to John Krasinski’s ‘Sexiest Man Alive’ win 

Will Ferrell joked about dropping Sexiest Man Alive to John Krasinski.

The comedian actor isn’t giving up his dream of being named PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive. 

Throughout his January 28 look on the Right now present, the 57-year-old actor playfully expressed his disappointment at not incomes the title final yr, regardless of his lighthearted efforts to marketing campaign for it.

Co-host Savannah Guthrie reminded Ferrell of their earlier dialog about his ambitions for the coveted honor. 

“Yes, [my campaign] started here,” Ferrell quipped. “And maybe this was the wrong place to start it. I got zero votes.”

Guthrie, clearly on Ferrell’s facet, responded indignantly. “That can’t be! I didn’t have a vote, but I would vote for you.”

Ferrell defined how he tried to “launch” his marketing campaign in the course of the Despicable Me 4 premiere in New York Metropolis in 2024 however felt it didn’t achieve sufficient traction. 

Now, he’s strategizing for 2025. “I think I may need to do a preemptive photoshoot,” he mentioned. “Pay for some billboards around LA and New York. Influencers, get it going that way.”

When requested concerning the 2024 titleholder, Ferrell admitted he would not keep in mind. “Does anybody remember?” Guthrie teased, with Craig Melvin chiming in, “Who was it?”

Guthrie added, “If it was you, everyone would remember.”

Melvin finally spoke up that John Krasinski was the 2024 Sexiest Man Alive. Ferrell begrudgingly replied, “Okay. All right. I guess… I don’t get it.” Melvin quipped, “You don’t see what they see.”

Ferrell’s marketing campaign for the title dates again to June 2024 on the Despicable Me 4 premiere, the place he instructed PEOPLE he was “planting the seeds” for an opportunity to grace the quilt. “Because you guys never have comedians,” he mentioned, urging, “So get it going internally, all right? Sexiest Man.”

He expressed his dedication for the title throughout an look on Late Night time with Seth Meyers, telling the host, “I have to be one of the leading vote-getters as of right now,” whereas referencing his dramatic pose on the premiere, the place he sported a white tracksuit.

Ferrell emphasised on the Right now present that his marketing campaign was severe. 

“It’s time,” he declared. “They never have comedians. Can you think of one? I can’t.” Guthrie reminded him that Paul Rudd had received the title, to which Ferrell responded, “Paul’s funny, but not there.”

“I’ve never wanted anything more badly than Sexiest Man Alive,” he added.

“Zero thoughts,” he defined. “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.”
