The American actor, Dr. Mamour from “Grey’s Anatomy”, was praised by the American press for his sex appeal.
Patrick Dempsey is still popular. The 57-year-old American actor has just been named “sexiest man” in the world in 2023 by the American magazine People.
If fans of the medical series Grey’s Anatomy, thanks to which Patrick Dempsey is mainly known, for having played Doctor Derek Shepherd between 2005 and 2021, will certainly say that it was about time, the main interested party was surprised when he learned the new.
“I was completely shocked, and then I started laughing. I wondered if it wasn’t a joke.”he reacted, amused, from People.
Before continuing, more seriously: “I’m happy it’s happening at this time in my life. It’s nice to get recognition, and it’s certainly good for my ego, but it also gives me visibility that I need to use for something positive.”.
The actor is probably thinking of the Dempsey Center, a center he founded in 2008 in honor of his mother and which seeks to support people with cancer, as well as their loved ones.
