In an interview on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” John Krasinski was asked if his children had seen “The Office.”
He responded that they had just begun watching it, after inquiring about the show unprompted. His six-year-old daughter, the younger of the two, had an amusing reaction, however, to watching Krasinski play Jim Halpert. At first, she insisted that Krasinski looked very different, but after a while, she was dismissive of the idea that Krasinski did, in fact, play Jim, saying “That’s not you,” when Krasinski reiterated that he was playing the character. In subsequent episodes, she conceded that Jim looked a lot like Krasinski, but maintained that it wasn’t Krasinski.

Krasinski added that while his children knew their mother, Emily Blunt, is an actress, they didn’t know Krasinski is also an actor. Instead, they thought he worked in an actual office. He revealed that the mix-up happened when Krasinski was approached by a fan while out with his kids, who greeted him by asking “John! From ‘The Office!’ ” This led his daughters to ask if he works with the man, but they accused him of lying when he denied doing so, as he had said he knew Krasinski from the office.
