“The only bummer of it was I was putting on the suit, just watching it like ‘This is so incredible, ‘ and I got to right about my waist”.
Actor John Krasinski dropped by “Conan” on Tuesday night and explained how he once came very close to playing the patriotic Marvel superhero.

The Hollars, which John both directed and stars in, opens in the USA on Friday, August 26.
