Actor and race car driver Patrick Dempsey has been announced as the new Sexiest Man Alive, taking over from Chris Evans in 2022. The reveal was made on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Tuesday.
Dempsey, 57, shared his surprise, saying, “I’ve always been the bridesmaid!” He admitted he hadn’t expected this and joked about his ego being unaffected.
Known for his role in “Grey’s Anatomy,” where he played Dr. Derek Shepherd, Dempsey expressed excitement for his upcoming role in the film “Ferrari,” directed by Michael Mann. He mentioned doing all his driving stunts, calling it “the best role I’ve ever had.”
Aside from acting, Dempsey has a passion for professional racing, having participated in events such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans and being part of the Wright Motorsports racing team.
Dempsey anticipated his kids teasing him about the People magazine selection, but he’s ready to take it in good humor.

He is also recognized for his philanthropic efforts, having founded the Dempsey Center, an organization offering support and resources for cancer patients, inspired by his late mother.
Dempsey’s People magazine cover story will be released on Friday, highlighting his achievements and interests in racing, acting, and charitable work.
“Ferrari” is set to hit theaters later this year, with Dempsey portraying Italian race car driver Piero Taruffi. The film received a waiver to allow its stars to promote it during the ongoing actors’ strike.
The Sexiest Man Alive title has previously been awarded to various stars including Michael B. Jordan, John Legend, Paul Rudd, Brad Pitt, Harrison Ford, and Mel Gibson, the magazine’s first recipient in 1985.
