May 2024 · 2 minute read

The esteemed title of Sexiest Man Alive for 2023 has been awarded to the well-known Hollywood actor, Patrick Dempsey, as revealed by People Magazine. Dempsey, renowned for his portrayal of Doctor Derek “McDreamy” Shepherd in the highly popular TV series “Grey’s Anatomy,” expressed his disbelief at the announcement during an appearance on the “Jimmy Kimmel Live” show on Tuesday night.

The 57-year-old actor, also recognized for his roles in Hollywood classics such as ‘Enchanted’ and ‘Made of Honour,’ humorously admitted his astonishment, stating, “I was completely shocked, and then I started laughing, like, this is a joke, right? I’ve always been the bridesmaid!” Despite his initial surprise, Dempsey’s humility shone through as he expressed his gratitude for the recognition, underscoring the positive impact such a platform could provide.

Married to professional makeup artist and beauty mogul, Jillian Fink, for 24 years, Dempsey is a loving father to their three children, 16-year-old twins Sullivan and Darby, as well as 21-year-old Talula. In an interview with People, the actor, who is also a prominent philanthropist, highlighted the importance of using his newfound recognition for a positive cause. Dempsey is notably the founder of the Dempsey Center, an organization supporting cancer patients, established in honor of his mother.

Having previously secured the title of the second Sexiest Man Alive in both 2005 and 2006, Dempsey now joins the ranks of other heartthrobs who have been bestowed with this honor in the past, including Chris Evans, Paul Rudd, Michael B. Jordan, and numerous others. This latest recognition serves as a platform for Dempsey to further his philanthropic efforts and make a meaningful impact.
