John Krasinski accepts your love!

Johnkransinski_lOn Valentine’s Day, PopWatch asked an appropriate question of its readers: Which TV character would you like to date? Y’all voted, and the overwhelming winner was The Office‘s Jim Halpert (played by John Krasinski with winking charm). While the results weren’t that shocking — my money wasn’t exactly on Squiggy — I did wonder how Krasinski felt about this shiny accolade, so I called him up to ask. Okay, the call was actually about the return of The Office, which re-debuts on April 10, but here’s what he had to say about your Halpert hunger: "First of all, the reaction is, ‘No way!’ That’s sort of incredible. Wouldn’t you much rather date one of the hunky five-o’clock-shadow dudes on Lost or McDreamy? I mean, it’s literally in his name to date him, folks! I’m truly honored. [Your readers] overrode every single primal and emotional instinct to choose me, so I appreciate them doing that." But were these just hollow words falling out of the K-Man’s mouth? Was he truly willing to follow through and court all PopWatchers? "It may be a virtual dating service that I start," he responded, "but I understand my responsibilities — and I will carry them through." And that is why we love John Krasinski/Jim Halpert.

    He’s adorable, and I love the character. But I think judging from The Office episodes before the strike that they may be taking Jim to some not-the-best-boyfriend territory soon. Not evil stuff, just immaturity things. But Krasinski himself == awesome!

    I would date John or Jim…I am not picky! So John, if you view this site, PICK ME, PICK ME!

  • Laura

    I’ll take smart, hilarious, and adorable John/Jim any day over stubbly, sweaty, moody Lost boys and McDreamy.
    John: My love for you has only increased after reading this response. You rock, sir.

    He made License to Wed one of the funniest movies of the year with his comedic quirks and great timing.

    Yeah, you see John, a lot of women may think that the Lost boys and McDreamy are, you know, nice too look at and all….but the question wasn’t “Who is the dreamiest?” It was “Who do we want to DATE? Do we want to date ego-maniacal, tortured, relationship-phobic guys? Hmm….nah. In real life, we really want the cute, funny, well-adjusted guy who treats his girlfriend really well. This was a no-brainer.

    I will date Jim and John at the same time! I don’t even care that they are the same exact person…they’re hot, funny, smart, and they could make the cute Jim face to me all day and I would eat it up every single time!

  • Kristina

    I voted for you John. McDreamy has nothing on you. You are way hotter than him anyway, plus you’re hilarious, charming, and like the boy next door that any girl would be lucky to have. If other women don’t want that.. well they’re just crazy.

    Don’t tease us, Tuna. Its not fair to give us all false hope! (BTW: I can’t wait for Leatherheads – I still crack up at the clip where JK sucker punches Clooney. Maybe its George’s reaction to it, but its still funny to me.)
    Much love Tuna!
