Patrick Dempsey has been named ‘Sexiest Man Alive’ for 2023 by People magazine, leaving many men wondering what makes him so charming.
The American actor and race car driver is best known for his role in the ABC television series Grey’s Anatomy, as neurosurgeon Derek Shepherd aka… ‘McDreamy’.
And he didn’t get that nickname by chance… Series creator Shonda Rhimes revealed its origin during an interview with Oprah Winfrey.
“When we were shooting the first episode, Patrick was truly the most adorable man we’d ever seen on camera. We watched the screen and got lost in his dreamy eyes! So we started calling him Patrick McDreamy and it stuck,” explains Rhimes.
Fans agreed, and the fantasy of the ideal man proved to heighten the drama throughout the series.
“In a way, he’s a man who doesn’t exist,” Rhimes said when discussing how she originally envisioned the character.
The first few episodes of the series are based on him being like the “perfect man” who happens to have a crush on the female lead and along with Meredith, the audience falls for him.
Rhimes was quick to shake things up in episode 9 when it was revealed he was married: “Doesn’t that happen often in life?” she points out.
And while it’s been almost 2 decades since Dempsey first appeared on the television scene as “McDreamy”, at 57 he’s dreamier than ever.
“I’m glad it’s happening at this point in my life,” he told People. “It’s nice to have the recognition, and it definitely gives my ego a boost, but it gives me the push to use the title for something positive.”
What are his secrets?
Patrick Dempsey emphasizes that he is making his health a priority as he gets older and admits that “the twins keep me very active because I have to stay in shape to keep up with them.”
“I appreciate being challenged, it’s really good for me. The older you get, the more you have to work from the baseline you had in your 20s. And psychologically it’s really good for you, you feel a lot better that way.
So I wake up in the morning, work out in the home gym, and then play tennis or something with the kids or ride a bike,” he says.
Besides working out and eating healthy, Patrick Dempsey has another trick up his sleeve: his skincare routine.
“Now I’m beginning to see how important the benefits of a proper skin care routine are to appearance,” she emphasizes.
When she is at home she uses masks for deep hydration and protection of the sensitive skin under the eyes.
When she has duties, she massages her face with a T-shaped vibrating device that sculpts, tightens and refreshes tired skin, covers imperfections like dark circles, redness and pimples with a spot stick and uses pomade to style her hair and nails. his beard.
