FilmingThe Officeoften felt more like a playground than a workplace, especially with John Krasinski and Idris Elba causing chaos, like, all the time. While Elba brought his serious edge to Charles Miner, Krasinski wasn’t afraid to take the fun up a notch. The result – a mischievous prank war that escalated in the quirkiest way.
Krasinski turned the tables on Elba with a bit of revenge so hilariously absurd it left the cast struggling to keep a straight face.

Elba shared that Krasinski’s antics went far beyond the typical giggles. Speaking toEntertainment Weekly, he revealed that Krasinski loved to push boundaries. He said,
Trying to keep a straight face while I’m doing my lines. Someone else would make another sound over here. It was a lot of work.
The hardest part, though? Staying professional while his co-star scribbled absurd doodles on his scripts.
In a separate interview withRadio X, Elba got candid about one particularly bold prank. He joked,
John. It’s Idris. I remember the days on the US Office when you would draw penises on my script, while I was reading. Thinking that I could just continue reading while there’s a big d*ck. Thank you, John, for your support.
As Charles Miner, Idris Elba was the stern foil to John Krasinski’s prank-loving Jim Halpert. Butbehind the scenes, it was Krasinski who had the upper hand, proving that his on-screen charm wasn’t just for show.
