McDreamy is back and dreamier than ever.
Patrick Dempsey has just been named People magazine’s 2023 Sexiest Man Alive, joking his “ego is good”.
The 57-year-old actor has received the magazine’s coveted title - which has previously been held by the likes of Paul Rudd, Chris Evans, and David Beckham - and admitted that he was initially shocked when he heard the news.
He told the outlet: “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.”
