Patrick Dempsey named "Sexiest Man Alive" by People magazine: "I'm glad it's happening at this point in my life"

Patrick Dempsey has been named this year's "Sexiest Man Alive" by People magazine. 

The selection was announced during "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on Tuesday night as Kimmel introduced the "Grey's Anatomy" star on the show. Dempsey took the crown from "Captain America" actor Chris Evans after beating finalists Pedro Pascal, Timothée Chalamet, Usher, Jamie Foxx, Jason Kelce and Lenny Kravitz. 

"I'm glad it's happening at this point in my life," Dempsey told People. "It's nice to have the recognition, and certainly my ego takes a little bump, but it gives me the platform to use it for something positive."
