\nLOS ANGELES:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Grey’s Anatomy <\/em>actor Patrick Dempsey was named People magazine’s “sexiest man alive” for 2023, taking over the title from 2022 honoree and Marvel star Chris Evans.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dempsey, 57, said he was “completely shocked” when he heard the news and thought it was a joke, noting “I’ve always been the bridesmaid.” “It’s nice to have the recognition, and certainly my ego takes a little bump, but it gives me the platform to use it for something positive,” Dempsey told People<\/em> for the cover story.<\/p>\n

Dempsey has grown in popularity over the years, starring in nearly 250 episodes of ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy<\/em> as heartthrob neurosurgeon Derek “McDreamy” Shepherd to being a modern-day Prince Charming in the 2007 musical film Enchanted.<\/em><\/p>\n

Dempsey, married to makeup artist and beauty line founder Jillian, is most interested in how his children, Talula, 21, and 16-year-old twins Sullivan and Darby, will react to his new status. “They’re just going to make fun of me and pick on me and figure out every reason why I shouldn’t be,” he said. “Which is good, they keep me young.”<\/p>\n

In December, Dempsey will be seen in the biopic Ferrari<\/em>, directed by Michael Mann, portraying Italian Formula One driver Piero Taruffi opposite Adam Driver and Penelope Cruz.<\/p>\n

When Dempsey found out the movie was being made, he took a risk and called Mann to ask for a part. “I’d been following the movie for years, so I called Michael,” he recalled. “That taught me if you really want something, you have to do it yourself.”<\/p>\n

Another passion project of Dempsey’s includes the Dempsey Center, which he founded in honour of his late mom to support cancer patients and their loved ones.<\/p>\n
