Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>People<\/b> have named their Sexiest Man Alive for 2023, and it’s none other than McDreamy himself, Patrick Dempsey.<\/p>\n

The 57-year-old earned the nickname for his best-known role as neurosurgeon Dr Derek Shepherd in the long-running medical drama Grey’s Anatomy.<\/p>\n

His selection was unveiled during the Tuesday night episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/p>\n

Dempsey, who takes over the title from Chris Evans, says: “I was completely shocked, and then I started laughing, like, this is a joke, right? I’ve always been the bridesmaid!”<\/p>\n

He adds, “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.”<\/p>\n

Apart from acting, Dempsey is also into motorsports and has competed in events such as 24 Hours of Le Mans.<\/p>\n

He also founded the Dempsey Center in honour of his late mother to support cancer patients and their loved ones, according to People.<\/p>\n

The A-lister has been married to wife Jillian Fink, 57, for 24 years and shares three children with her Talula, 21, and twins Sullivan and Darby, 16.<\/p>\n

On how his children will react to his new title, Dempsey says they’re “just going to make fun of me and pick on me and figure out every reason why I shouldn’t be. Which is good; they keep me young”.<\/p>\n

Dempsey is poised to make his next on-screen appearance as the Italian race car driver Piero Taruffi in the upcoming film Ferrari, scheduled for release in December.<\/p>\n

According to the Associated Press<\/b>, the film has obtained a waiver, allowing its stars to promote it without contravening the rules during the ongoing actors’ strike.<\/p>\n
