From McGeeky to McDreamy

Can't Buy Me Love

In 1987, Can’t Buy Me Love introduced a scrawny, geeky guy named Patrick Dempsey to the big screen.

Of course, today he’s best known for his role on television’s “Grey’s Anatomy”, where he plays a “dreamy” doctor with plenty of love interests.

This is in stark contrast to both his looks and his role in Can’t Buy Me Love, where his character had to pay a girl to act like she liked him.

Dempsey has been making the talk show circuit this week on the heels of a film, Made of Honor, coming out tomorow.

When Dempsey talks, he still seems a bit like the shy, awkward teenagers he once was. He’s probably wondering what all the hoopla is about, because he’s still the same guy he always was–he just grew up.

He’s now married to makeup artist Jill Fink, and they have twin sons and one daughter. Looks like he found love–no purchase necessary.
