Will Ferrell Jokes About Losing Sexiest Man Title

Will Ferrell humorously expressed his disappointment at not being named PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2024, a title that went to John Krasinski. During an appearance on the Today show on January 28, 2025, Ferrell suggested that his campaign may have been too understated, joking about needing a preemptive photoshoot and billboards in major cities for future attempts. Despite his efforts at the Despicable Me 4 premiere in 2024, Ferrell acknowledged receiving zero votes. Co-hosts Savannah Guthrie and Craig Melvin playfully teased Ferrell about his campaign, with Melvin quipping that Ferrell doesn't see what others see in Krasinski. Ferrell, who has acted alongside Krasinski in The Office, jested about not understanding Krasinski's appeal. Nonetheless, Ferrell remains determined to pursue the title in 2025, emphasizing a need for more comedian representation.
