I’ve always been the bridesmaid for Sexiest Man Alive,” he added, referring to multiple times he made the list but failed to get the top spot.</p><p>“I’d completely forgotten about it and never even contemplated being in this position. So, my ego is good.”</p><p>The <em>Ferrari</em> star also shared how he thinks his kids will respond to his new status.</p><p>“They’re just going to make fun of me and pick on me and figure out every reason why I shouldn’t be. Which is good, they keep me young.”</p><p>The actor’s wife, makeup artist and founder of her own clean beauty line Jillian Dempsey, showed some love for her husband by posting a video of him.</p><p>She captioned the post with: “Well, the cat’s out of the bag for 2023 @people’s #SexiestManAlive and my hubz is on the cover! Loved being a part of this insanely fun ride with you @patrickdempsey. What a title!

I would like to come in and discuss being a part of this movie.’”</p><div><iframe width="951" height="535" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4RxDgzai3mo" title="Patrick Dempsey Is (Finally!)
