For the fans of the American mockumentary drama sitcom The Office, it’s difficult to forget the interactions and the relationship between actors Steve Carell’s Michael Scott and John Krasinski’s Jim Halpert.
However, they are set to reunite for the John Krasinski’s-directed upcoming movie ‘IF‘ after 11 years of the Office season finale but they won’t be sharing the screen.
The Office Stars Carell and Krasinski Reunite
It is the first time the Office actors Steve Carell and John Krasinski reunite for Krasinski’s directorial debut with the 2024 movie ‘IF’ which is a fantasy comedy movie that combines the elements of live action and animation with Ryan Reynolds and Cailey Fleming playing the lead.
It is John Krasinski’s directorial debut who is going to direct the movie ‘IF’ with his close friend and The Office co-star Steve Carell lending his voice to the animated character Blue.
However, fans went crazy and delighted to see them reunite and get a taste of their old friendship in a video which was posed by John Krasinski’s on his official Twitter page. He stated that ‘Reunited and it feeeeels so gooooood!’.

The video is captured from a recording session of the movie ‘IF’ where John Krasinski is talking to the camera about his friendship with Steve Carell and stating that ‘Blue is played by Steve Carell who happens to be a dear friend.” “We worked on this little thing a long time ago.’ The last word referred to the the American sitcom The Office.
Steve Carell on his Reunion With John Krasinski
The video then cuts with Carell entering the recording room and hugging his close companion John Krasinski. After that, they both exchange conversion in which the footage shows “It’s great to see you,” Krasinski says. “Oh, my Lord,” Carell replies. “I was just telling you guys — has it been years?” Krasinski asks. “I’m glad we’re getting it,” Carell jokes, pointing at the camera. “This is so intimate.”
The two then break into laughter, and Krasinski explains that this was Carell’s fifth attempt at mimicking their reunion. Carell then even asks his director for one more.
But Steve Carell exits again and reappears while Krasinski’s was drinking water which he spits out in surprise. This time they do the reunion scene again but made this real while telling each other ‘that they look nice’
