John Krasinski heaps praise for 'Foundation of Youth' director Guy Ritchie

John Krasinski recently spoke highly of Guy Ritchie, who helmed his upcoming movie Foundation of Youth.

In a recent chat with PEOPLE during his new movie's red-carpet premiere at Los Angeles, the 54-year-old actor got candid about the director of his upcoming flick.

"Who's not obsessed with Guy? I don't know. I mean, he's got a heck of an accent," he began.

The actor went on to address, "He's so gregarious. He's got the best vibe.”

“He's the nicest, sweetest, calmest person, and he talks to them like adults, and so he wasn't talking to them like kids,” he continued.

Dishing more details about the filmmaker’s gentle and sweet demeanor with his kids, John added, “He was asking 'em what they wanted to eat and did they want him to cook for them and all that stuff, and they just thought they were in the movie. I think they thought this was their big break."

"I mean, for me, I would do anything for Guy. I would've been a waiter in his movie. So to have him ask me to be the lead in the movie with Natalie Portman, I was like, it's the easiest yes I've ever given," he remarked in conclusion.
