‘The Office’ cast reunites to help John Krasinski pull off surprise Zoom wedding

John Krasinski was once best recognised for starring as Jim Halpert in US series The Office.

When it originally aired in 2005, few likely anticipated the show’s potential before finishing as an all-encompassing a phenomenon.

Jim was a fan favourite character throughout the hit show’s nine seasons, delighting fans by marrying Pam (played by Jenna Fischer) in season six.

When it came to an end in 2013, John was recognised by viewers for his notorious role, where he also served as a producer and occasional director.

John has amassed an incredible combined fortune with his famous wife of approximately £64.5m, according to CelebrityNetWorth.

It comes as no surprise, thanks to his esteemed roles on the big screen and as an acting director, producer, and screenwriter.

Throughout the years, he’s starred in an array of successful films, including voice acting in cartoons, such as Monsters University and DC League of Super-Pets.

A few years ahead of departing the US sitcom, in 2010, he married award-winning British actress Emily Blunt.

He even starred alongside his wife in 2018’s commercially successful horror-thriller film A Quiet Place, which he also co-wrote and directed.

His direction, co-producing, and writing of the sequel, A Quiet Place Part II in 2020, earned him a Critics’ Choice Award for Best Horror Movie.

The star-studded couple has two children together – Hazel, 8, and Violet, 5.

Despite the couple both serving active roles within the glitz and glamorous life of fame, Emily had described their meeting as “sad and lame”.

The couple met in a restaurant where they were both dining separately with mutual friends.

“It’s kind of a sad and lame story,” she said on Late Night With Seth Myers. “My friend goes, ‘Oh my God, there’s my friend John’ and that was it.

“He was actually sitting with our friend Justin Theroux – and then he abandoned Justin and came over to talk to us.

“He did not eat. He just stood there and made me laugh and that was it,” she joked.

When asked by the host whether she felt any connection from the start, Emily replied: “I kind of did.”

However, celeb family members don’t just stop at Emily as the couple’s brother-in-law is a very familiar face.

Emily and Stanley Tucci met on the set of The Devil Wears Prada and after hitting it off on-set, Emily invited her Hollywood co-star to her wedding with John in Lake Como, Italy.

Whilst at the lavish event, Stanley was introduced to Emily’s sister Felicity Blunt, whom Stanley fell head over heels for and has been married to since 2012.

Last year, the families even spent a wholesome Thanksgiving together, which Stanley documented with a Polaroid-style image of him and John that he posted to Instagram.

“HAPPY THANKSGIVING FROM MY FAMILY TO YOURS,” he wrote.

John and his wife are no stranger to life in the spotlight, celeb friends, and inevitably having to face seeing your partner’s intimate moments on-screen.

Jungle Cruise star Emily revealed that her husband was “immune” to steamy scenes with her on-set co-star Dwayne Johnson.

“Honestly, John is so used to me having to make out with other men,” she told The Mirror.

“He’s immune to it at this point. That was part of the deal when we got married!”

More recently, John left viewers jaw-dropped with his surprise cameo appearance in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

However, that wasn’t his first call with Marvel, having auditioned to play the part of superhero Captain America.

The role is most actively played by Chris Evans who hung up his suit in Avengers: Endgame in 2019.

Speaking with television host Graham Norton, John revealed his experience with the audition, which quickly fell short due to Aussie actor Chris Hemsworth.

“Yes, I was probably 16th choice for Captain America,” John told the presenter.

Despite joking that there were a few choices ahead of him, he revealed that he “pretty close” to the role as he even tried on the suit.

“I got to the suit – it was a pretty big day for me, I was nerding out completely.”

“For a split second there, I was feeling really good about myself,” he joked. “I was actually putting the suit on and I was like, ‘Oh my god, this is so amazing!’

“And then through the hallway, came Chris Hemsworth dressed as Thor and he was like, ‘You alright mate?’

“And I was like, ‘No, I’m not'”, whilst he quickly scurrying out of the suit.”
