John Krasinski, the Newton-bred actor who stars in the upcoming film The Hollars, just taught America an important lesson in marriage: Love means never having to say you’re sorry for defending the youthful complexion of Leonardo DiCaprio.
On Tuesday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Krasinski revealed the truth behind why he started cooking for his wife, actress Emily Blunt, after 36 years spent on this planet never cooking, ever. And it has everything to do with fellow actor DiCaprio’s seemingly improbable mature age.
“We made a stupid bet, and I lost,” Krasinski said. “The bet was, Emily said something about Leonardo DiCaprio being 41, and I said, ‘How dare you?!’ And I said, ‘That cherub of a man’ — I think that was my quote — ‘That cherub of a talent can’t be more than 28.’ I said he’s not over 40, [that] was my thing. She said, ‘If I’m right, you have to cook for me every Sunday. And if you’re right, you get to play Call of Duty once a week. So I thought, ‘Here we go. This is the good stuff.’”
Turns out, DiCaprio is indeed 41.
However, Kimmel said that he was at Krasinski’s house the other night, and Blunt did all of the cooking.
