"Acting is just too much work. All I really want to be is a supermodel." GREY'S ANATOMY star PATRICK DEMPSEY jokes about his heavy work schedule. PATRICK DEMPSEY - THE THINGS THEY SAY 8067

'Grey's' star Patrick joins local talent at London comedy unveiling There was a meeting of stellar local talent and big guns of the sivler screen as some of Hollywood's notable names launched their new projects in London this week. On the red carpet in Soho was Grey's Anatomy hunk Patrick Dempsey, who took his stylist wife Jill Fink along to help him present Made Of Honor. (Advertisement) Turning up for a first viewing of the quirky romantic comedy - which follows the story of a man's attempts to get an engaged woman to fall for him after she asks him to be her maid of honour - were some of Britain's best known TV talents. Attending with her 22-year-old daughter Allegra was TV host Vanessa Feltz, and joining them was EastEnders actor Mohammed George. Meanwhile Oscar-nominee Imelda Staunton was busy presenting her new project Three And Out at the British capital's famous premiere hub Leicester Square. At the special screening the global star caught up with her co-stars, who include The Office's Mackenzie Crook, Irish actor Colm Meaney and newcomer Gemma Arterton. The Kent-born actress, who's currently filming Quantum Of Solace with Daniel Craig, plays Mackenzie's love interest in the comedy. She admits, though, that if pushed to choose between her leading men as dating material she'd find it hard to decide. "I'd rather go out with someone completely unknown and obscure," she says, before eventually admitting: "Daniel's probably more my type because Mackenzie's quite nervous."

Dempsey turns on big-screen charm Dreamy Patrick Dempsey has been treading the red carpet at the UK premiere of his new film. The 80s heart-throb - now best known as Dr Derek Shepherd, aka McDreamy, on US drama Grey's Anatomy - has been in London promoting Made of Honour. Dempsey plays womaniser Tom, who doesn't realise he's in love with his best friend until she is about to marry someone else. He said he enjoyed taking time out from his TV schedule to film the new romantic comedy. "I had a really good time. It was a lot of work because we were constantly working on the script. "Paul (Weiland) was a wonderful director because we did a lot of improvisation and really made it relaxed and easy, and hopefully that's the experience you get when you're watching it." Made of Honour opens on May 2. Channel 4 - News - Dempsey turns on big-screen charm

Some news..

Dempsey's 'sexy' pressure Grey's Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey feels as much pressure to stay in shape as Hollywood's leading ladies, and often compares himself to his own hot co-stars. The married father-of-three admits it is a struggle not to let the pressure of body-conscious Hollywood get to him. The actor, 42, says, "I'm not (Grey's Anatomy co-star) Eric Dane. He is in perfect shape. I definitely have pec envy. There's a lot of pressure being a man in this town." He adds, "People are seeing a fantasy. It's not necessarily me, but it does help your ego. Look, I know TV is a visual medium, so of course I want to be in shape, but I don't want to be ripped. "I let my wife know that I'm sexy all the time." Dempsey's 'sexy' pressure - Yahoo! News UK

He's got it Made Dempsey is a huge success -- but good luck trying to get him to admit that Dr. McDreamy has a happy family, a hit TV show, a couple of huge deals with Versace and Avon and a terrific romantic comedy, Made Of Honor, about to open in theatres. You could say Patrick Dempsey, 42, has it all. Well, you could say it -- but he wouldn't. "I'm very nervous about the movie coming out," says the modest Dempsey. "It's the first time I've had a movie coming out with my name above the title in a very long time. I hope people go see it and are satisfied with it, and will continue to come and see my stuff." Is he joking? After the box-office success of Enchanted? With Grey's Anatomy still going gangbusters? "I don't feel I've achieved what I want to achieve yet," he says, earnestly. "I'm certainly very happy and very thankful for what's going on, but I'm not where I want to be. I think there's more for me as an actor that I haven't been able to do yet. Just to do something dramatically different from what I've been doing. You want to stretch. But I do love romantic comedies and I think people like to see them." Certainly, people will like to see Made Of Honor. Dempsey stars in the film as a playboy of sorts who realizes, too late, that his best friend -- played by Michelle Monaghan -- is the woman he wants to marry. She's going to marry someone else. In desperation, he agrees to be her Maid of Honor, but only because he hopes to sabotage the wedding before it happens. Made Of Honor is unusually well-written for the genre, and the comedic pairing of Dempsey and Monaghan is truly inspired. And the film is helmed by British director Paul Weiland, whose name has been on Blackadder and Mr. Bean in the past. According to Dempsey, Weiland allowed lots of re-writing and improv on the set and also incorporated aspects of the actor's real life into the story. (Dempsey fans who know the actor started out in showbiz as a professional juggler will be happy to see him tossing china plates around in the film.) If Dempsey is reluctant to celebrate his current success, it's probably because he's already experienced both the heady highs and the very big lows of the business. The Maine native worked first in theatre, then made his film debut at age 19. After a couple of small roles, Dempsey hit big with Can't Buy Me Love and In The Mood in 1987, and became an "overnight sensation." The fame then vanished almost as quickly, with about a decade of small TV roles, failed pilots and plenty of forgettable roles in forgettable movies. As recently as 2002 he had to work hard to land a role in the Reese Witherspoon vehicle, Sweet Home Alabama, but things had finally begun to turn around. He did a few episodes on The Practice and had a role in the TV movie Iron Jawed Angels, and then, in 2005, he signed onto Grey's Anatomy. And he was back. Not that Dempsey didn't have anything else in his life when the work thing was slender. He and his wife, Jill Fink, were married in 1999 and now have a daughter of 6 and twin boys, aged 15 months. Of fatherhood, he says, "I'm loving it. I get home in a bad mood and I'm like, I just want to be with the kids, and they immediately put everything in perspective, and make everything else in life manageable." He talks about watching his boys try out a new trampoline, and says, "I just can't wait to get them out of L.A. I want the kids to grow up in the country, and have the opportunity to just run out the front door and do what they want to do. I grew up like that in Maine. It's great. You can take off, play in the woods, go fishing, ride your bike. That's a dream. Los Angeles is a business town. It's not a place for children to grow up, in my opinion." Dempsey never actually stopped fishing or bike riding, both of which he takes very seriously. As an adult, he added auto racing to the mix. He's also become the "face" of Versace and he's working on a signature scent with Avon. "Versace is a blast," he says, noting that he wore plenty of the clothing line in Made Of Honor, before he even got the Versace gig. "They have some beautiful, classic suits and I'm having the best time playing a supermodel," he says, laughing. "It's absolutely hysterical that I'm being a model." The Avon association he likes for several reasons, one of which is the company's cancer foundation. They've helped Dempsey with the cancer centre he opened in Maine. In the past, Dempsey's mom had cancer, and had his sister not worked at the local hospital, he's not sure how the family would have got through it. "It was very frustrating for me because sometimes there's just nowhere to turn." One main goal, he says, "Was to make the very best website in the world for anybody who has cancer or has a family member with cancer. And the feedback we've had -- it's the most important thing I've ever done in my life. It's great. I hope we continue to grow and help people. I'm so thankful this has happened." Dempsey really does seem to count his blessings. He says, "I'm really enjoying life at the moment. It's a lot of work, and there are good days and bad days, but yes -- I'm very thankful for everything. I just try to treat people the way I want to be treated, and live by that."
