People magazine has chosen Patrick Dempsey as their “Sexiest Man Alive” for this year.

The selection was announced during “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Tuesday night as Kimmel introduced the “Grey’s Anatomy” star on the show.

Dempsey expressed his happiness that this is occurring in his current stage of life during an interview with People. He stated that it is gratifying to receive recognition, although it does give his ego a boost. However, he sees it as an opportunity to utilize the attention for a positive impact.
