In a funny spoof on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, John Krasinski and Chris Evans bring their rivalry from Marvel to the show by competing for the title of “Sexiest Man Alive.”
Known for their roles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, John Krasinski and Chris Evans recently appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in a humorous fight of superhero titans. The pair, who had each been crowned People’s “Sexiest Man Alive,” had a lighthearted competition that ended in a humorous comedy in which they exchanged DNA.
Though in multiple incarnations, the sketch capitalized on the actors’ mutual background with the Fantastic Four franchise. Krasinski portrayed Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic) in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022), while Evans played Johnny Storm (the Human Torch) in the 2005 Fantastic Four film and its 2007 sequel.
Krasinski started the Late Show parody by giving Colbert witty tips on how to look more handsome. Krasinski, the 2024 “Sexiest Man Alive” winner, made lighthearted suggestions about strategies like “wearing turtlenecks” and “brooding more.” But when Krasinski disclosed his ultimate secret weapon—stealing Chris Evans’ DNA—the sketch took a funny turn.
To the pleasure of the crowd, Evans, the 2022 “Sexiest Man Alive” champion, took the stage. The two actors’ subsequent exchange was full of clever repartee and lighthearted quips, emphasizing their comic connection.
This comedic face-off wasn’t the first time Krasinski and Evans have shared the screen. They both starred in the 2011 film Puncture, showcasing their versatility beyond the superhero genre. Their appearance on The Late Show further cemented their reputations as charismatic and entertaining personalities, both on and off-screen.
Beyond the “Sexiest Man Alive” title:
- While the sketch playfully revolved around their “Sexiest Man Alive” status, both Krasinski and Evans have achieved significant success in their careers.
- John Krasinski: Beyond his Marvel role, Krasinski is known for his portrayal of Jim Halpert in the beloved sitcom The Office. He also created, directed, and starred in the critically acclaimed horror films A Quiet Place and A Quiet Place Part II.
- Chris Evans: After his time as the Human Torch, Evans became a global icon for his portrayal of Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He has also starred in diverse films like Knives Out and Snowpiercer.
The playful rivalry between Krasinski and Evans on The Late Show provided a lighthearted and entertaining moment for viewers. Their willingness to poke fun at themselves and their “Sexiest Man Alive” titles demonstrates their down-to-earth personalities and their ability to connect with audiences on a humorous level.
