John Krasinski Is NOT Happy With Fans Of The Office Thinking Jim Halpert Was The Show’s Villain!

John Krasinski is not particularly excited about a fan theory from The Office that’s been going around the internet lately!

The 42-year-old TV star appeared on The Tonight Show this week and spoke to host Jimmy Fallon about his career. The convo got particularly interesting when Fallon popped an intriguing question to the man who so famously played Jim Halpert on the long-running sitcom.

From behind his desk on set, the comedian pulled out a page showing a fan theory that called Krasinski out! As the theory goes, Jim Halpert is supposedly the “secret villain” of the TV show because of the way he “manipulated” his wife Pam, played by actress Jenna Fischer.

When Fallon explained that take to Krasinski, the actor stopped laughing and got serious for a second. Clearly confused by the accusation, the Something Borrowed star said:

“Wait, what? Did you make that up?”

Jimmy explained to John that he did not make up the theory. Krasinski seemed amazed that fans would come up with the take on the show:

“When you ask it like that, it makes me uncomfortable. … Can you imagine if that’s what it was?”

And Fallon agreed! Doubling down on Krasinski’s perplexed reaction, the late night host replied:

“Why would anyone do this? Jim is one of the most lovable characters, and funny characters, in the world. This is so not true. This is garbage.”
