John Krasinski is an actor who played Mr. Fantastic or Reed Richards in Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) Doctor Strange in The Multiverse of Madness. Previously John Krasinski was best known for his role in The Office as Jim Halpert, but his fame exploded after the release of the film A Quiet Place. This highly rated film director and star has been the center of attention, to the point that his face is always a meme because of his roles as Jim Halpert as well as Reed Richards.

The sequel to A Quiet Place also seems to have catapulted Krasinski's name. Starring Emily Blunt, the acclaimed actress who becomes Krasinski's wife, A Quiet Place 2 is written, directed and produced by Krasinski. Curious about the actor whose face is often used as a meme? Here are 10 facts about John Krasinski that made a surprise appearance in Doctor Stranger in The Multiverse of Madness!

1. He Initially Refused to Play Reed Richards 

The idea for John Krasinski's role as Reed Richards was originally started from a fancast or actor selection made by fans. Many people often decide which actors and actresses are ideal for playing their favorite character when the film has not been made or the official casting has not been announced.

In the Fantastic Four fandom, quite a lot of people have decided that Krasinski is a perfect fit for Reed Richards, better known as Mr. Fantastic. However, initially not many people disagreed with this idea, and Krasinski himself initially did not agree.

Finally, Krasinski's appearance as Reed Richards became a reality in Doctor Strange in The Multiverse of Madness. In fact, he's already expressed interest in the role and seems to be fully in agreement with fans wanting to give him the chance to play the world's smartest Marvel character.

2. He Actually Aspires To Be An English Teacher

Very rarely do people end up with the career they really wanted, as was the case with John Krasinski. Although many young people decide from an early age that they want to become actors and then their dreams never come to fruition, Krasinski didn't even aspire to be an actor. In fact, he dreams of becoming an English teacher. It's interesting that he instead took a much more difficult path and became very successful as an actor as well as a director.

3. Hates Horror Film

Can you believe that John Krasinski actually doesn't like horror movies? But the film A Quiet Place seems to have made him change his mind.

Krasinski said that as a child, he did not dare to watch horror films, and was very afraid to watch them on the big screen. He told IndieWire in an interview that he's actually still surprised to see his name associated with the hit horror film he's working on.

4. He Has Two Daughters

Most people probably know that John Krasinski is married to Emily Blunt, and was a huge fan of hers before they started dating.

But what many people may not realize is that they actually have two daughters named Hazel and Violet. With Krasinski's very fatherly image, it's easy to imagine Krasinski being a good father.

5. He Didn't Become Captain America Because He Was Intimidated By Chris Hemsworth's Muscles

John Krasinski actually almost played Captain America. Not only did he audition for the lead character of the Avengers, he was actually asked to do a screen test in a Captain America costume. However, things did not go smoothly for him. During the screen test Krasinski was introduced to Chris Hemsworth, and immediately decided that the role of Captain America was not suitable for him.

The assumption arose because Hemsworth was so muscular that it intimidated him. Krasinski told Conan O'Brien that after he saw Hemsworth's muscles and decided that someone burly should play by Hemsworth's side. This is the main reason why we don't see him as Captain America.

6. He Played A Monster In Some Scenes Of A Quiet Place

A Quiet Place is the horror film that made John Krasinski even more famous. The film received very positive reviews for being a post-apocalypse themed film with an amazingly fresh idea, and having elements of family life mixed with elements of silent horror. Krasinski not only directed the film, but played one of the main characters, for which he has received so much critical acclaim for his role.

But did you know that he also plays a monster in this film? He's the one wearing the motion capture suit as the monster, so technically he's playing two roles at once and also directing the film. This means that Krasinski has a lot of responsibility for this film but as such, many people think that much of the film's success should automatically be credited to Krasinski.

7. He Completed The Filming Of A Quiet Place In Just 36 Days

It turns out that impressive films like A Quiet Place were only made in a fairly short time. The process of filming or taking pictures was only done in 36 days! As a director as well as an actor, John Krasinski must have been burdened with all the work he had to do during that short and hectic time, which lasted a month.

Most Hollywood films take up to 60 days to shoot, but Krasinski managed to create this masterpiece in a very short time.

8. He Was Fired Nine Times As A Bartender

Prior to his apprenticeship as a scriptwriter for Conan O'Brien, John Krasinski worked as a bartender. He appears to have worked several jobs as a bartender, but unfortunately he was fired nine times from that job.

He never went into detail about why he was fired from those nine jobs, but he did describe one of the worst things about being a bartender. In an interview on the Today Show, he said he had made some drinks for drunk girls, and after the girls took Krasinski's drink, they threw up all over the bar. This resulted in him being fired immediately.

9. He Was Originally Going To Play Dwight in The Office

It's hard to imagine John Krasinski playing anyone other than Jim in The Office. Jim's character is so synonymous with Krasinski that it has become a popular meme as well. But what might surprise a lot of people is the fact that he was originally supposed to play Dwight.

But Krasinski convinced the casting directors to let him audition for the role of Jim, because he didn't fit Dwight's character at all. Of course, there was one episode where he dressed up as Dwight and imitated him, but even that was pretty scary.

10. B.J. Novak Convinced Krasinski to Become an Actor

B.J. Novak is an actor who plays Ryan from The Office. He was a man who came in as a temp, but ended up working there longer than he might have liked, and ultimately made his way higher up in the company.

The actor named B.J. Novak actually knew John Krasinski in high school. It was he who convinced Krasinski to become an actor by persuading him to try out for a role in a school play.
