John Krasinski, PEOPLE's 2024 Sexiest Man Alive, is ready to pass the torch to the next lucky leading man. At the premiere of Apple TV+'s Fountain of Youth, held at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, Krasinski opened up exclusively to PEOPLE about his advice for the next Sexiest Man Alive.

"Buckle up. It is a hard crown to wear, but you'll be all right. Just stay focused. Take a deep breath, you'll get through it," Krasinski tells PEOPLE.

Krasinski also shared about his children's experience on set with director Guy Ritchie, saying, "Who's not obsessed with Guy? I mean, he's got a heck of an accent... He's so gregarious. He's got the best vibe. He's the nicest, sweetest, calmest person, and he talks to them like adults, and so he wasn't talking to them like kids."

Fountain of Youth, directed by Ritchie, follows two estranged siblings coming together to use their historical knowledge to find the mythical Fountain of Youth. Krasinski stars opposite Natalie Portman, Eiza González, Domhnall Gleeson, Stanley Tucci, and more. The film will be released on May 23, 2025.
