Patrick Dempsey is like good wines and this was confirmed to us by People magazine, which named him the “sexiest man of 2023”, even above Pedro Pascal, Timothée Chalamet, and Jamie Foxx. The 57-year-old actor appeared on the cover of the magazine, which highlighted the recognition that Chris Evans won last year.
“I’m glad it’s happening at this time in my life. It’s good to have recognition and certainly my ego suffers a little blow, but it gives me the platform to use it for something positive,” the famous man told the aforementioned media.
Patrick Dempsey thought it was a joke
Likewise, he remembered the day they announced to him that he had been chosen as “the sexiest man alive in 2023.” He said that he thought it was a good joke because he did not consider that he could even be considered for something like that.
“And then I started laughing, like this was a joke, right? I’ve always been the bridesmaid! He had completely forgotten about it and I didn’t even contemplate being in this position. So my ego is good (…) I am completely shocked.”
When it dawned on him what was happening, he felt praised and thought about how his family would react. “They will just make fun of me, tease me, and find out all the reasons why I shouldn’t be.”
Let us remember that the actor has been married to Jillian Dempsey since 1999 and they have three children: Talula, 21 years old, and the twins Sullivan and Darby, 16 years old. Patrick was not wrong, when he arrived at his house and told them what had happened, his family teased him by questioning him about who had won the People magazine nomination.
“They said, ‘No, seriously, who is he?’ ‘It’s not me.’ Reality hit suddenly,” he recalled.

Patrick Dempsey is this year’s winner, but before him, this same recognition has been granted to other celebrities such as Chris Evans, Paul Rudd, Ryan Reynolds, Chris Hemsworth, Michael B. Jordan, John Legend, Dwayne Johnson, Idris Elba, Adam Levine, Richard Gere, Channing Tatum and David Beckham.
