I saw the thread title and thought this was an old thread. 😂
I would vote no.

Sure why not.. he is pretty handsome... just surprised me as he really hasn't been 'relevant' lately.. kwim, unless maybe something is in the works? If it was during his Grey's days I would have understood it much better.

That is a diverse set of finalists! Not sure any of them make the cut for me.

While he is good looking, he’s not attractive to me, if that makes sense. So my vote is no.

Since Sexiest Man Alive is basically a big promo deal for whoever “wins” it it makes sense that anyone actor who’s currently working can’t accept it due to the SAG strike. I read a comment somewhere else that SMA always picks someone who was at their peak five years earlier and I completely agree.

Patrick Dempsey is a member of SAG who is a working actor. He has two movies coming out this month. Being featured like this is promotion for those movies.

Ferrari isn’t part of the strike so he can promote it.

I think he's a good choice and I love that they are choosing someone in my age group ... we are still sexy! My choice would be Henry Cavill though ... he's perfect

I was curious who were the previous “Sexiest Men Alive” so I asked Google. link2022 - Chris Evans - yes 2021 - Paul Rudd - yes 2020 - Michael B. Jordan - yes 2019 - John Legend - no 2018 - Ibris Elba - yes 2017 - Blake Sheldon - no 2016 - Dwayne “The Rock’ Johnson - no 2015 - David Beckham - no 2014 - Chris Hemsworth - yes 2013 - Adam Levine - no 2012 - Channing Tatum - no 2011 - Bradley Cooper - no 2010 - Ryan Reynolds - yes 2009 - Johnny Depp - absolutely not. 2008 - Hugh Jackman - no 2007 - Matt Damon - I like him but see him more as being funny as opposed to sexy. 2006 - George Clooney - Absolutely YES! Others were Denzil Washington, Brad Pitt, Harrison Ford (another absolutely) Richard Gere, Tom Cruise, Ben Affleck, Matthew McConaughey, Pierce Brosnan.

I feel like they often choose older, established actors who aren't necessarily the "sexiest" IMO. Patrick Dempsey, not even 30 years ago for me but we're all different.
I have no idea who I would choose over him that hasn't been chosen already. A lot of my favorites are now even older than I am and while they can be sexy still, I think we're all getting a little long in the tooth to be "the sexiest alive".
Maybe let's give it to Henry Cavill, who is old enough for me not to feel like a dirty old lady while admiring the way he fills out a pair of leather breeches, but not old enough to be a member of AARP.

One wonders how often a woman of roughly Patrick Dempsey's current age is crowned "sexiest woman alive." I enjoy a silver fox as much as the next woman of my age, but I do resent that actresses of the same age group are rarely considered "sexy" by the media UNLESS they seem to have a magic pill that prevents them from aging (see: Jennifer Lopez).

I don't think anyone of our age is the sexiest ALIVE. I mean, let's be honest with ourselves. We might be sexy to many people but being sexy isn't really the focus of the 50+ crowd. Our reproductive years are over (for females) and we don't really need to look "sexy". Silver foxes are a thing because of biology and hormones. Just like there are silverback gorillas who still attract and mate with younger females. Same principle! But we can leave them off the People list. At our age (say 45+) it's more about looking healthy and yes, I'll say it, the dreaded LOOKING GOOD FOR OUR AGE, which means different things for different people. JLo is obviously a vampire and doesn't count.

Patrick Dempsey, not even 30 years ago for me but we're all different. This is pretty much what I was going to say. Not now, and not in his McDreamy heyday (for me, anyway). ETA: I've just googled to see what he looks like now, and I have to say, I could come around to him. He has the most amazing hair, I am a real sucker for grey hair, and his is just luscious!

I like Henry Cavill but I like the scruffy Ryan Gosling better so I’m sticking with him.

He’s okay, but naaah. Not my cup of tea. Several of the ones in the linked list are handsome enough but I don’t know that any of them are sexiest man alive material, IMO.

He was up against Jason Kelce.. who is sexy because of his amazing personality, not looks! Jason Kelce is sexy because he looks like a MAN! LOL ... I know this is sexist, but he looks like he could defend your honor, pick you up and carry you away. I have watched some of the New Heights podcast and I just love him. He recognizes his faults (if you have watched the 'jeans' episode, you know). He loves his wife and kids, loves his family. I am so impressed by his parents. Keeping the family together and not divorcing until the boys were grown. Not just "not divorcing" but keeping the family intact, getting along with each other and having a family. I know it's not always possible. And both partners have to be on board and be agreeable to it. But I truly wish more people would go into marriage with this as the plan. But it has to be BOTH partners. I completely agree.. give me a man like Jason over someone who has drop dead gorgeous "looks" he's just not the typical "sexy" man.. now Travis.. ummmmmm...<3

I find Patrick very handsome. Those smile wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and that twinkle in those eyes…uuuummmm, yeah.
My first pick would be Jason Momoa, though.

I don't really agree with that choice. Is he good looking? Yes. Is he sexy? Ok, I will give you that but he is also a world class asshole and treats others horribly so no, he shouldn't have been given that title.
