Patrick Dempsey Named Sexiest Man Alive By People

deadline.com:

Better late than never, it seems: Patrick Dempsey, known to the legions of Grey’s Anatomy fans as the one and only McDreamy, has finally been named Sexiest Man Alive by People. “I’m glad it’s happening at this point in my life,” the 57-year-old actor told the magazine. “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.” When first told that he would be People’s next sexy cover man, Dempsey said “I was completely shocked, and then I started laughing, like, this is a joke, right?

I’ve always been the bridesmaid! I’d completely forgotten about it and never even contemplated being in this position. So my ego is good.” Dempsey is set to appear as Italian driver Piero Taruffi next month in Michael Mann’s Ferrari.

The actor made a big splash at D23 Expo last year when he showed up with a very white head of hair that he dyed for the role as an F1 driver.No, Patrick Dempsey did not join #HouseOfTheDragon #D23Expo pic.twitter.com/gOVg2LD0KK Dempsey, who is an accomplished racer himself, told Deadline at the Venice Film Festival that he went after the role aggressively, and called the script “the best I’ve read in and around the motorsport world.” By providing your information, you agree to our Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy.
