John Krasinski Archives

Here is the first movie still from screwball comedy Leatherheads, a fictionalized account of the origins of the NFL.

George Clooney plays the coach of a wannabe pro football team in the 1920s.

The Office’s John Krasinski plays the World War I hero/star football player.

“At that time, the NFL was just a bunch of guys smashing heads in cornfields,” Krasinski said. “(He) realizes that if he can get a star college player, more people will come to see these quote-unquote professional teams.”

Renee Zellweger gets caught in a love triangle with Clooney and Krasinski’s characters.

Joked Krasinski: “All the ladies can rest assured, George Clooney will always win. I’m no match for him.”

Leatherheads, directed and co-written by Clooney, is set for a Dec. 7 release.

The Office’s John Krasinski arrives at the Ed Sullivan theater in NYC for a taping of The Late Show with David Letterman on Tuesday. Watch his appearance tonight on CBS @ 11:35PM ET/PT — he’ll be pimping his summer comedy License to Wed!

Studio 60 star Amanda Peet will also be making an appearance on tonight’s episode. The NBC series has been canceled but the series finale will air on Thursday, May 28 @ 10PM ET/PT. Amanda has a 4-month old daughter Frances Pen Benioff. (The baby’s middle name is in honor of Amanda’s mom, Penny.)

UPDATE: What happened to Krasinski’s hair?????????? More Here! »

John Krasinski, appropriately enough walks the white carpet at the world premiere of his summer comedy License to Wed on Monday at the Pacific Cinerama Dome in Hollywood, Calif. (There seems to be a dearth of photos around the Internet of him at this event even though he’s one of the main stars of the film. How strange!)

For the Jim fans, below is the drool-worthy photo shoot of John from the July 2007 issue of GQ. Enjoy!

License to Wed opens in theaters nationwide on July 4th.

UPDATE: Okay finally, more pictures have surfaced! 15+ pics inside…

The Office’s John Krasinski is interviewed by his License to Wed co-star Robin Williams for the July 2007 issue of Interview Magazine. Here are some snippets:

Well, your mother is… not to say tiny, but she is not as vertically enhanced as you and your bros are. My mom is, like 5 foot 10. My dad’s 6 foot 6, and my brothers are 6 foot 8 and 6 foot 9.

Damn! Damn, brotha, please! Come on now!

And what about your life now? Where are you, John? Things are great. I’m talking to you from the location of my newest movie, Leatherheads. I’m with your good friend George Clooney, who’s directing.

Oh, damn! You are down there with G Dawg! It’s unbelievable. First I worked with you and now with him.

Speaking of good ol’ George, John shared quite the interesting story on last night’s Late Night with Conan O’Brien. You may have heard it before — it’s the one with this crazy fan who walked out of a moving car (with an infant in the backseat!!) just to catch a glimpse of George. Ca-razy!!

He also shared a number of other recycle stories you may have heard before — the lawn dart one and “Sarah and her nutty friend”. Watch Krasinski’s appearance on Conan below!

The Office’s John Krasinski, aka Jim Halpert, makes his premier appearance on TRL on Thursday (filmed on Wednesday) alongside his License to Wed co-star Mandy Moore.

There’s a scene in their romantic comedy where Mandy’s character is given a trust test. She’s blindfolded and John’s character must be the best backseat driver he can be. MTV VJ Damien Fahey had Mandy take a similar test on TRL. Mandy was blindfolded and John had to direct her to the control room to deliver the video clip of License to Wed. Funny stuff!

John’s Office castmate Steve Carell was on TRL the day before and left a video message for John. It’s hilarious, you must watch it!!

John.. Kra-kra-kra-kowski…

Watch Moore and Krasinski’s appearance on TRL below!

License to Wed costars Mandy Moore and John Krasinski have been on a whirlwind promotional tour, pimping their latest romantic comedy at FOX’s The Morning Show with Mike & Juliet (airs tomorrow), Fuse’s The Sauce and MTV’s Total Request Live (also airs tomorrow).

Mandy’s CD, “Wild Hope,” is available in stores now. License to Wed is set for a July 4th release. And Mandy’s reality TV special I am Mandy Moore will air on Oxygen August 14.

Check back tomorrow, there should be some great pictures of John and Mandy from their appearance on TRL.

The Office’s loveable John Krasinski drops to his boxers and shows off his sex-on-a-stick legs as groom-to-be Ben Murphy in the latest set of stills for upcoming summer flick License to Wed, out July 4th. TWoP, staring climbing him like a tree.

Here’s a funny snippet from the latest Entertainment Weekly regarding a bet Krasinski made with Leatherheads co-star George Clooney:

EW: That John Krasinski guy doesn’t look that tough.
Clooney: You know, he’s a good kid. I love him, but the fun part is that he talked s—. [To Pitt] I’ve got this kid John Krasinski in my movie. He’s on The Office — really good actor. The first day on the set he’s like, ”I play basketball” and I was like, ”I play a little too.” And he looks at me and goes, ”I’ll kick your ass.” And I was like, All right, whatever. And he’s like, ”Okay, let’s make it $1,000 then.” So for the entire shoot we’ve been talking about this bet. We haven’t played. The whole shoot. And Friday we played.
Brad Pitt: Oh, boy.
Clooney: And I beat him 11-8! [Laughter] I was wiping my forehead with $100 bills going, ”Whooo, is it hot in here?” Certain things just bring you joy.
Pitt: And one is staving off old age.
Clooney: Oh, man, you are right.
