John Krasinski is a ride-or-die type of guy.
The Office alum, 45, opened up about the person he’d do “absolutely anything for” in his career while chatting exclusively with Parade on the red carpet at the New York City premiere of his new Apple+ action film, Fountain of Youth, on Monday, May 19.

When asked what about Fountain of Youth stood out to him most and why he was excited to star in the film, Krasinski told Parade it was director Guy Ritchie that was ultimately the deciding factor.
“That’s the biggest difference. Working with him was something l’ve always wanted to do, and you get to see his process,” the Jack Ryan star said. “He’s so energetic and so positive. He’s got a great calm set. I learned a lot from him, and you just find yourself doing absolutely anything for him.”
