In a highly anticipated revelation, People magazine has officially bestowed the title of the "Sexiest Man Alive" for the year 2023 upon none other than Patrick Dempsey. The accomplished actor, recognized for his roles in "Ferrari" and "Grey's Anatomy," was unveiled as this year's honoree during a special segment on "Jimmy Kimmel Live."

The big reveal on the late-night talk show was not without some light-hearted moments. Prior to the grand announcement, Patrick Dempsey engaged with the audience in a quirky manner, donning a realistic lizard face filter and later switching to a donkey filter. These playful antics set the stage for the grand reveal of his newfound title.

In his interview with People magazine, Patrick Dempsey expressed his gratitude and enthusiasm for receiving this prestigious recognition. He stated, "I'm glad it's happening at this point in my life. 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."

When asked about his initial reaction to the news, Dempsey responded with a hearty laugh, admitting, "I was completely shocked, and then I started laughing, like, this is a joke, right? I've always been the bridesmaid!"

Leading up to this announcement, several notable names, including Pedro Pascal, Timothée Chalamet, Usher, Jamie Foxx, Lenny Kravitz, and Philadelphia Eagles' star center Jason Kelce, were all acknowledged in People's 2023 Sexiest Man Alive issue alongside Patrick Dempsey.

The "Sexiest Man Alive" feature is a cherished tradition by People magazine, dating back to its inception in 1985 when Mel Gibson was honored as the first recipient. Recent honorees have included Chris Evans, Paul Rudd, Michael B. Jordan, John Legend, and Idris Elba.

The forthcoming issue of People, featuring an in-depth interview with Patrick Dempsey, will be available for purchase starting this Friday. The magazine's annual celebration of charisma and allure continues to captivate readers as it crowns Patrick Dempsey as this year's embodiment of sexiness.
