John Krasinski is not into The Office fan theories that dub him the villain of the series.

On an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the actor was asked about an article from last month titled "Is Jim Really the Villain?" — and he wasn't buying it.

The TL;DR of the article is that Jim is an office bully and wrong for Pam.

“Wait, what? Did you make that up?” John asked Fallon. "We were doing so well!"

Fallon then asked if Jim did "manipulate Pam," to which John joked, "When you ask it like that, it makes me uncomfortable!"

After agreeing with Fallon that Jim was an exceptional "lovable" and "funny" character, he quipped, "Well, they’re on to me, because I played it as a supervillain."

He then mentioned his Multiverse of Madness cameo by continuing, "That’s why I did Fantastic Four, to balance it out — I had already done the villain."
