The Sexiest Man Alive for this year was unveiled during a Jimmy Kimmel Live
segment.
The wait is over, ladies and gentlemen—Patrick Dempsey has been formally
named the 2023 Sexiest Man Alive!
During a segment on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Tuesday, People revealed Dempsey
as their yearly cover star. He then made a surprise visit on the late-night
talk program.
When Kimmel questioned the 57-year-old hearthrob why he believed it took
People this long to finally award him the prestigious accolade, Dempsey was
beaming.
"I'm not sure. He laughed and continued, "I'm just glad they made a
decision and it was me this year. "I am very grateful."
Kimmel joked, "It's like uncorking a bottle of fine wine." "They decided to
wait until just the right year."
Mel Gibson was the first recipient of the outlet's annual Sexiest Man Alive
award in 1985. Since since, the biggest stars in entertainment have been
included.
Chris Evans, the hero of Captain America, won the title of Sexiest Man
Alive last year.
Evans jokingly said, "My mom will be so happy," after accepting the
outlet's award. "She's proud of everything I do, but this is something she
can really brag about."
Paul Rudd, star of Ant-Man, was 2021's Sexiest Man Alive before
Evans.
In response to the headline, Rudd expressed humility and said, "This is not
fake humility. I should not have received this before so many other
individuals."
Michael B. Jordan, star of Black Panther, was named People's 2020 Person of
the Year.
Regarding the title, Jordan remarked, "It's a cool feeling." "Everyone used
to joke, 'Mike, this is the one thing you're probably not going to get,' you
know. However, it's a worthwhile club to join."
The venerable club has also hosted celebrities including Blake Shelton,
Idris Elba, Sean Connery, and Tom Cruise. A few people, like Johnny Depp,
Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and Richard Gere, have even won the title
twice.
