Patrick Dempsey's unexpected crowning as People magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive" for 2023 is rather startling. Famous for his part in "Grey's Anatomy," the 57-year-old actor welcomed the honour and spoke about his feelings about it. Dempsey, who takes over from last year's recipient Chris Evans, thanked the award's presenters for their recognition of his career achievements. He admitted to People, "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." Even saying, "I've always been the bridesmaid!" the actor confessed that the news rocked him to his core. Though he was taken aback at first, Dempsey quickly warmed up to the jokes and anticipated his family's lighthearted taunting in response to the news. Dempsey and his wife, Jillian, have been married since 1999, and they have three children together. He says his family will "just make fun of me and pick on me and figure out every reason why I shouldn't be," but he also adds, "is good, they keep me young." He gets ready for some lighthearted banter! Dempsey made the surprising announcement on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" during a 20-question segment, when he playfully said, "Never give up on a dream." Reminiscing about it, he revealed that his loved ones were taken aback when the seriousness of the statement hit them, as they had assumed he was kidding. Strict nondisclosure agreements ensure that the identity of the winner remains a closely guarded secret at People magazine. The esteemed list of former "Sexiest Man Alive" winners includes, among many others, Dempsey, Paul Rudd, Chris Hemsworth, Ryan Reynolds, Michael B. Jordan, and Chris Evans. With his new role as People's "Sexiest Man Alive," Patrick Dempsey is prepared to embrace the playful antics that come with the title, and he plans to use the attention to make his family laugh.
