Almost two decades after Patrick Dempsey’s first appearance in the beloved TV series Grey’s Anatomy, our favorite “neurosurgeon” who stole our hearts from the first moment, has been named by People magazine as the sexiest man alive for 2023.

It was like I had been a bridesmaid for years and now I was finally the groom
“It’s nice to have the recognition and it definitely boosted my ego a little bit, but it also gives me an opportunity to use it for something positive,” he added, referring to the Dempsey Center, which he founded in honor of his late mother. from life, to support cancer patients and their relatives.
The beloved Derek Shepherd, as he was called in the series Grey’s Anatomy, who from 2005 to 2015 won the heart not only of Meredith Pompeo, but also of every woman who watched him in the series, said that when he was informed about the title that was originally given to him he was shocked and then laughed heartily.

Jokingly he added that it was as if he had been the bridesmaid for so many years and now he was finally the groom.
