As an actor, John Krasinski has had to work on his body several times. But the most drastic transformation came when he had to star in 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi. The actor had to pack on muscles for the role of CIA contractor Jack Da Silva. His shirtless pics, as well as the cover he did for Men’s Health magazine, went viral back then.
So how did his wife, Emily Blunt, feel about his lean and cut body? After all, most wives would love it if their husbands got six-pack abs and some biceps to go with it. Jennifer Lopez certainly does, judging by her eyebrow-raising Father’s Day post, as did Affleck’s ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. But it doesn’t look like Blunt is part of that pack.
Emily Blunt Wasn’t A Fan Of John Krasinski’s Six-Pack Abs Body
In 2016, John Krasinski’s 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi film was released. During an interview with Stephen Colbert, he revealed the kind of training regimen he had to undergo to get his six-pack body. The actor said that it was a living hell trying to attain a lean and mean physique. Krasinski said:
“I thought it would be like, ‘Yeah, let’s eat a couple Power Bars and do push-ups.’ And he (his trainer) was like, ‘No. It’s going to be a living hell for six to eight weeks.’ We went two sessions a day with my trainer. I was like, ‘What about these bicep curls?’ He was like, ‘No, it’s so much harder than that.’ Like, ‘You have to do 80 push-ups by tomorrow.'”
But his hard work paid off because he attained an envy-worthy physique. So, did his wife, Emily Blunt love his transformation? Not really. In fact, as per A Quiet Place actor, she hated it. He said:
“She hates it. She would way prefer to have doughy guy back.”
The actor’s candid confession surprised everyone because, apparently, she loves her husband with a dad bod. This is different from Jennifer Garner, who was drooling over her then-husband, Ben Affleck’s Batman body.
Jennifer Garner Couldn’t Help But Gawk At Ben Affleck’s Action Star Body
Back in 2014, when Ben Affleck was gearing up to play Batman in Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, he had to bulk up a lot. In various interviews, the director had described his Batman as a bruiser, so Affleck’s dark knight was bulkier than the previous versions of Christian Bale and Michael Keaton.

So what did his then-wife, Jennifer Garner think of his new body? For her, it felt like she was having an affair. In an interview on the Live With Kelly & Michael show she said:
“You know, he has put on 30 pounds of muscle and he’s 8 percent body fat. He looks pretty good. It’s a little bit like, ‘Whoa, who are you?’. It feels like I’m having an affair. But I don’t mind, I’m not complaining.”
The Argo star’s tenure as DC’s Batman is now over. His last appearance was in The Flash. However, there are rumors that he might appear in Aquaman 2. On the other hand, John Krasinski will next be seen in If. Whether we will get to see him and Emily Blunt team up in another A Quiet Place film remains to be seen.
