John Krasinski and Emily Blunt are one of Hollywood’s power couples. The two stars who have individually created extremely successful careers for themselves over the years, have also had a steady marriage and share two young daughters together. Both Krasinski and Blunt have managed to keep their family and personal life away from the paparazzi and have maintained a low profile.
Being celebrities also has its fare share of interesting experiences especially when it comes to explaining to children about the nature of their job. John Krasinski realized the effect of this. The actor who became a household name for his role in The Office, ironically had to face flak from his daughters for the character he played.
John Krasinski’s Role In The Office Backfired On Him With His Daughters
John Krasinski’s big claim to fame in Hollywood was his role in the hit series, The Office. Through his character Jim Halpert who was an ordinary guy holding a 9 to 5 job, Krasinski endeared himself to the audiences with his relatable persona so much so that he was recognized by the name of his character by people on the streets. Funnily, his fame backfired on him with his two daughters who mistook his role in The Office for being his real job.
Speaking to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the star revealed a hilarious incident involving his daughter about his profession, after an encounter with a fan who recognized him from The Office. When Krasinski denied the young girl’s claims that the man was his colleague, she said,
‘Why are you lying to me? … He just said he knows you from the office?’”
The Jack Ryan actor further revealed that his predicament was heightened by the fact that his wife Emily Blunt was considered by their daughters as having the coolest job owing to her appearance in Mary Poppins. Krasinski jokingly confessed that his children believed Blunt married him out of pity.

Krasinski went on to add that he had won the lottery by marrying Emily Blunt. The Devil Wears Prada actor returned the compliments and spoke of her husband as being the wind beneath her wings through every positive and negative event that occurred in her life.
