So genuine and real. I just love him and his wife😊❤

[@fraaa96]

This man is aging like the finest wine, I mean who hasn’t a crush on him

[@catherinesvbialosh7260]

I am the only one that has a crush on him 😉 He has such a good heart and Emily Blunt is a lucky woman

[@BL0OST4R_snak_shop_X3]

Fix ur grammar lil bro 💀 I like bloo.

[@BL0OST4R_snak_shop_X3]

@@catherinesvbialosh7260 you heard of Foster’s bbg? Ok that was stupid. :D

[@manuelorozco7760]

I’m hyped to see the movie. And that’s very sweet of John to include his daughters in the development process. It’s the live action Pixar concept that personally drew me to IF.

[@belaazores]

I love this guy and his wife Emily. Such brilliant actors and good normal people. Lovely Very excited about IF. Sounds fun even for adults

[@davs1wife]

I can’t wait to see it.. I mean the cast alone is amazing

[@erictheisen3203]

What a great actor like John Krasinski was!

[@bonitahamilton5762]

Emily blunt and Blake are sooo lucky ❤

[@katty5003]

Can’t wait to see this with the kids. John & Emily seem like good real people

[@zoecunningham3019]

Glorious imagination! Completely Sweet and adorable.

[@natsm7427]

i cannot wait for this movie my kids would love it, they still play those 'imaginary games' ❤

[@ajordan1847]

If...so adorable. ❤Can't wait to watch.

[@CS-ys4sy]

I had 2 IFs and I just cried a little, missing them. That was a surprise.

[@myrnashoults9735]

Hands down, the most likable, humble, hilarious, talented man!

[@1satisfiedmind]

What a great concept!

[@KarinV-nx7cg]

Fosters home for imaginary friends anyone?

[@BL0OST4R_snak_shop_X3]

Yes!

[@Kylelongwest]

I can't remember if i had an imaginary friend.

[@manuelorozco7760]

Neither can I. So I imagine things from what I see on TV

[@LindaC616]

I had older siblings and neighbors for the first 10 or 11 years of my life. I think I didn't need one.

[@ryuusei1907]

I can't remember if I had a childhood.

[@Nazaba09]

‘Fell in love with him on the office’. SOMETHING BORROWED

[@Purplequeen18]

I love something borrowed!! I didn't realize that's who he was back then though I didn't watch the office

[@bonitahamilton5762]

A quiet place movie!!❤

[@TheRosalesFamily2025]

Mine came into existence when parents divorced and moved in with aunt and uncle I still don’t know what they look like

[@faradillaramadhita1782]

John Krasinski and Emily Blunt are absolutely one of the cutest couples in the world.

[@4681MM]

He looks better as he ages

[@FarmerJAB]

Hmmmm, has he had some work done? His eyes look different?

[@andre-wx5kh]

Are we really going to act like this is an a live action version of Foster’s home for imaginary friends?

[@thedivachannel3790]

I had imaginary friends even as an adult to survive the isolation of the pandemic lockdown.

[@angieSPEAKS1]

He looks so different

[@FarmerJAB]

I agree. Some work around the eyes maybe?

[@IaneHowe]

I didn't have one

[@knittingnana2939]

The people in the background are so distracting.

[@actualkarenokboomer3158]

All of these guys with the daughters and whoever the new Reynolds kid is. Krazinskis, Reynolds, Gosling and Bradley Cooper has a daughter, too. I hope they all get to know each other.

[@gilhawlf]

Hoping all is well in the krunt household, "my" daughters not "our" & alot self-importance writer director.

[@TheRosalesFamily2025]

Obviously

[@FarmerJAB]

Has he had some work done on his face? His eyes look a little different possibly

[@Daniela-2208]

Anyone else find it odd when she said “I think I fell in love with you in the office” Kinda weird. Can’t wait to watch this movie though! He’s a great dad and husband, seems like
