Patrick Dempsey was mentioned as People Magazine’s 2023 Sexiest Man Alive on Jimmy Kimmel Live Tuesday night.

The show featured an appearance from the ex-Grey’s Anatomy leading man, 57, as the song’s cover was shown.

“Thank you so much,” the actor, who is father to daughter Tallula, 21, and twin sons Darby and Sullivan, 16, with wife Jillian, 57, said after he was honored.

In a segment of the late night show, Kimmel used “the cutting-edge hologram technology from our friends at proto” and disguised the identity of the person named Sexiest Man Alive, who later turned out to be Dempsey.

In a 20-question format, audience members asked the mystery man questions in an attempt to figure out the possible candidates for the honor. The questions revealed that the person was an actor who is over 50, married and has three children.
