Actor and director [Krasinski](http://time.com/collection-post/5238188/john-krasinski/) was being celebrated at the [TIME 100 Gala](http://time.com/5247004/shawn-mendes-time-100-performance/) as a member of the 2018 list, while Platt — perhaps best known as the Tony-winning actor from _Dear Evan Hansen_ — was attending as a 2017 honoree. But Platt’s publicized adoration of Krasinski and Blunt goes back to before he met them at the party. After seeing [_A Quiet Place_](http://time.com/5233205/john-krasinski-a-quiet-place-ryan-reynolds-chris-pratt/) early in April, he tweeted about both actors, calling Krasinski a “renaissance man” and Blunt “perpetually brilliant.” “If you’d ever consider a throuple, you know where to reach me,” he said then. Luckily for him, the TIME 100 party brought them together mere weeks later, and he was able to orchestrate a casual meeting. “Inching my way into this marriage,” he joked again on Twitter after the event, sharing a photo of the three of them. Since both Platt and Blunt have [serious singing chops](http://time.com/4812549/emily-blunt-romeo-juliet/), it seems only a matter of time until they work together. Krasinski could direct.
