John Krasinski looked a little sad while hanging out with a friend in Brooklyn after facing intense online trolling after winning the title of The sexiest man alive according to people.
After dividing the internet with his win, the 45-year-old actor, best known for his role as Jim Halpert on NBC’s The Office, was seen grabbing a cup of coffee on Thursday morning.
Despite celebrating the honor by partying with previous winners Ben Affleck and Matt Damon earlier this week, the father of two tried to keep a low profile at his latest outing while sporting a black jacket, jeans and a Boston Red cap Sox.

The bracelets were likely made by her daughters, Hazel, 10, and Violet, 8, or one of the ones given to her by fans at Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in London in August.
