This Movie Is McCheesy

This is actually about a movie, but it's a movie I don't think I'd ever watch except when it's on TV (and really, nothing else is). And I'm talking about a star who is best known for a TV role, so I'm going to go ahead and say it counts.

I've never been much of a Grey's Anatomy fan, but you don't have to be to know that Patrick Dempsey managed to revive a career by portraying "Dr. McDreamy" on the show.

So as I'm watching Made of Honor, they manage to fit in a scene where McDreamy doesn't have a shirt on. It doesn't surprise me that it's in there- I mean, it's a chick flick that was basically designed for women to come gawk at McDreamy- and casual shirtless scenes are a hallmark of most chick flicks these days. (Either that, or Matthew McConaughey has some weird sensory disorder that makes it impossible for him to wear a shirt through an entire movie.)


So it doesn't surprise me that he's shirtless, but what does surprise me...

This is McDreamy? This is the guy that countless women swoon over? He's not terrible or anything, just... average. I just would've guessed he'd have pecs that almost rival the size of my boobs, chest skin that looks a little too perfect and Ken-doll-plastic-y, and abs that look like I should take a (weird) crayon rubbing.

None of those are things I find attractive in the slightest, but it seems that a lot of women love that muscled look. And McDreamy was just rather normal, and it wasn't what I would've expected.

Maybe I'm not the only girl cares a lot more about a gorgeous head of hair than a chiseled chest!


Fun Fact That I Found Out While "Researching" This: Patrick Dempsey auditioned for the role of Dr. Chase in House, M.D. but lost the role to Jesse Spencer.
