Recent news about Patrick Dempsey

Patrick Dempsey has been in the news recently. In September 2022, he shocked his fans with his platinum blonde locks at the Disney Legends ceremony. He was one of the 14 stars who were commemorated.

After the buzz about his looks, he revealed it was for his role in the movie Ferrari. He also stated that he would have to keep the hairstyle on for at least two more months. Here are some of the reactions to his platinum waves:

Jillian Dempsey, a stylist, spoke to People magazine about her husband's transformation, calling it a "spur-of-the-moment" cut. They decided to opt for the new style to get this beloved salt-and-pepper color and let his hair naturally grow back. She added that she first took a "pass-over" at his hair before handing Dempsey the clippers.

In November, the actor was rumored to reunite with his Grey's Anatomy co-star Ellen Pompeo for a new show. Patrick Dempsey, however, denied the claims.
