John Krasinski Became a Cooking Pro Thanks to Leonardo DiCaprio

“I said, ‘How dare you!” That cherub of a man?that cherub of a talent?cant be more than 28.

He was wrong, and so the family man now cooks for her every Sunday because that was the deal, and he’s quite pleased with himself about it. “And if you’re right, you get to play ‘Call of Duty” once a week.’ So I thought, ‘Here we go!

“It started with a Mother’s Day gift to Emily”, Krasinski told Kimmel in the video below.

“The truth is, she really is that person who would like me any way”, he smiles, before adding: “But I don’t think she’s going to kick the eight-pack abs out of bed”.

“[Emily’s] from England – they do a lot of roasts over there – so I said I’m going to do a roast”, said the actor.

Obviously Krasinski lost. However, when Kimmel pointed out that he was at the actor’s house on a recent Sunday and it was Blunt doing the cooking, the 36-year-old actor and director admitted he’s not above doing a little Jedi mind trick to get out of the job.

“For me, I graduated high school in 1997, the year that Good Will Hunting came out”, Krasinski told Conan O’Brien, also a Bostonian, on Tuesday’s Conan. “And he just started to melt and he went, ‘I’m so sorry, that wasn’t amusing at all”. “She goes, ‘It’s really hard”.

Speaking about why he is starting to spend more time in the kitchen on the ABC chat show ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’, he said: “We made a stupid bet and I lost”. However, Krasinski proved to be up for the challenge and cooked up a chicken to create “one mean roast”.
