John Krasinski looked a little glum while stepping out with a friend in Brooklyn after facing intense trolling online after earning the тιтle of People’s Sєxiest Man Alive.

After dividing the internet with his win, the 45-year-old actor, best known for his role as Jim Halpert on NBC’s The Office, was seen grabbing a cup of coffee on Thursday morning. 

Despite celebrating the honor by partying with past winners Ben Affleck and Matt Damon earlier this week, the father-of-two attempted to keep a low profile on his latest outing while rocking a black jacket, jeans and a Boston Red Sox cap.

In addition to a pair of glᴀsses tucked into his shirt, the A Quiet Place director appeared to be wearing two beaded friendship bracelets. 

The bracelets were most likely made by his daughters, Hazel, 10, and Violet, 8, or one of the ones gifted to him by fans at Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in London in August.
