Patrick Dempsey has been named People’s 2023 sexiest man alive, who was voted sexiest man in 2022?

It would seem that age is no factor when it comes to being named as People's 2023 sexiest man alive as Grey's Anatomy actor Patrick Dempsey, 57, has proved. He told 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.”

One of the ‘positives’ Patrick Dempsey is referring to is the Dempsey Centre, which he set up in honour of his late mother to help support not only cancer patients but their families too. Patrick Dempsey is married to makeup artist Jillian and has children, Talula, 21 and twins, Sullivan and Darby who are 16. Patrick Dempsey will be back on our screens soon in the Michael Mann-directed biopic 'Ferrari' and will be playing Italian driver Piero Taruffi, opposite Adam Driver's Enzo Ferrari.

Who won People’s 2022 Sexiest Man Alive award?

Chris Evans was named People magazine’s 2022 sexiest man alive. At the time, Chris Evans said “My mom will be happy. She’s proud of everything I do but this is something she can really brag about.”
