The hair. The confidence. The five-o'clock shadow. The adoring husband and father part. The hair. The list of reasons to love Grey's Anatomy's McDreamy goes on and on. Patrick Dempsey has come quite a long way from the days of having to pay for a girlfriend in Can't Buy Me Love. Perhaps his self-assured philosophy about getting older helps. "For a guy, you’re better off to just accept age as it happens," says the Made of Honor star, who hits the gym four days a week. But like any other down-to-earth (and endearing) star, he acknowledges that he's not perfect, especially when it comes to his abs: "I always have a half keg going on, but never a six-pack." Not to worry: Our own gut tells us that where Dempsey's concerned, a little flaw like that would be easy to ignore.
