It took People a while to recognize what many have known for years: Patrick Dempsey is undeniably one of the sexiest men around. After a long and successful acting career, the 57-year-old has finally received the honor. And he still lives up to his nickname McDreamy. In fact, Patrick seems to be aging like fine wine—getting not only wiser but also more attractive with each passing year.
Of course, digging through the archives reveals that young Patrick (the curly-haired guy in the plaid shirt) was already full of potential…

…and he was quite the cutie even in his earliest years (far left)…

…but we must admit that time has been exceptionally kind to him…
So, secretly, we understand why Patrick has only now been awarded this title. The man is approaching sixty but looks more handsome than ever, and we wouldn't be surprised if he continues to turn heads even in the retirement home.
His three kids, meanwhile, get a good laugh at their father's new status. "As always, they make fun of me, tease me, and list all the reasons why I'm not The Sexiest Man," Patrick revealed. "I thought it was a joke at first. I've always been the bridesmaid in this competition."
