John Krasinski stars in the new Michael Bay film, 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi. The trailer confused the hell out of me and I think (?) the film is loosely based on the real terrorist attack on the American consulate in Libya in 2012, but with a Michael Bay twist: “What if there was a team of elite Navy SEALS on the ground to rescue the ambassador in real time?” Krasinski plays the main Navy SEAL, and for the role, he got jacked like a SEAL. Krasinski shows off his new jacked body with Men’s Health, and between the muscles, his lanky limbs and the beard, he’s really doing it for me. This is exactly my type – I love a tall, lanky guy, a love a guy with a beard and I love a guy with some muscles. You can see JK’s Men’s Health slideshow here and here are some highlights from the interview:

He worked with his trainer Jason Walsh & he worked out five days a week, twice a day: “I gotta be honest: It was brutal at times. We did tons of metabolic work, dragging sleds and all this stuff I’ve seen NFL players do.”

He became addicted to it: “I think there’s a part of you where you become addicted to it. I walk with better posture and a little more presence. I was more of a sit-in-the-corner guy. Now I’m a lot less of that. Getting stronger every day is thrilling.”

Favorite workout song: “What More Can I Say,” Jay Z.

Favorite exercise: “Bench press. There’s that number you can keep pushing. It’s almost a game instead of a workout.”

Least favorite workout: “Bulgarian split squat.”

His wife, Emily Blunt: He says Emily is his “favorite thing to talk about.” He recalled how she invited him to a screening of The Young Victoria just three weeks after they began dating. “I remember watching that movie, and the entire time being like, ‘I wonder who she’s going to date after this?'”

That’s such a cute story about Emily! It always seemed that Emily and John fit perfectly together right from the start. Like, they got serious almost immediately and then they were just John & Emily, the Hollywood couple that everyone loved. As for John and his new jacked body and Michael Bay film… it will be interesting to see if he keeps it up, if he becomes the Everyman Action Hero now.
