Is there anything the man can't do? Grey's Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey, a hunk of many talents, showed off his juggling skills on ABC's Good Morning America Wednesday.

The Maine native once aspired to be a circus performer in his youth (he's admitted as much), so it's little surprise that he can pull this off, but still, you've gotta love him ...

Patrick Dempsey impresses with his good looks. And juggling abilities.

For those of you who don’t follow Shonda Rhimes on Twitter, Grey’s Anatomy's creator and executive producer shared a picture of Patrick Dempsey on the show's set today.

Shonda wanted to send out a “Hello!” from the show's leading man himself and put out a little call for support for the new Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope and Healing.

So take a look at Patrick Dempsey’s handsomeness below, then follow the link to his charity organization. Everyone wins. It’s for a very good cause, we think you'll agree ...

When we last saw the doctors of Seattle Grace, Derek and Meredith tied the knot with a Post-It note and gave up their wedding so a dying Izzie could wed Alex instead.

How did that sit with McDreamy?

Patrick Dempsey tells Extra he was shocked when he read the script. "I think the fans are expecting a wedding," the actor said. "I was surprised too, like this is it?"

"This is what it's gonna be?"

Does that mean a bigger Meredith-Derek wedding is still in the works? Don't expect to get any answers to that out of Shonda Rhimes or the Grey's Anatomy cast.

While it is not expected to actually happen, Patrick says that he would have liked to see Ellen Pompeo's pregnancy written into the script for a McDreamy baby!

He added, "I think it would've been interesting to see her juggling a career and baby." Ellen and husband Chris Ivery are expecting their first child this winter.

Last week, we posted a photo of Sara Ramirez that Shonda Rhimes Tweeted as the cast of Grey's Anatomy returned for their first week of filming the upcoming Season Six.

Today, we're happy to provide you with a similarly Twittered image of the show's leading man, Patrick Dempsey, courtesy of writer and executive producer Krista Vernoff.

Krista posted the photo below, with the caption: "Dear Fans, I am sitting here with Patrick. He says he loves you too. :-)" Aww. How nice of him. Here's the man in action:

Patrick Dempsey looks handsome, even in full surgical gear.

Thanks to marriedmymcdreamy for the heads up on this! Here's hoping that as filming progresses we get to see more fun Tweets from Shonda, Krista et al.

Even a McDreamy star has to take a break from being so handsome and talented sometimes. We suppose that's allowable after all he has brought us over the years.

Patrick Dempsey grabbed lunch on the set of his new film, Valentine's Day (which also co-stars Eric Dane and comes out in February), in L.A. on Wednesday afternoon ...

It's a McDream Team! Grey's Anatomy stars Patrick Dempsey and Eric Dane have both joined the ensemble comedy Valentine's Day, according to Reel Movie News.

They are joining a cast that will include Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Garner, Shirley MacLaine, Bradley Cooper, Ashton Kutcher, Topher Grace, Emma Roberts and Hector Elizondo (who plays Callie's dad on Grey's Anatomy).

Garry Marshall is directing the New Line film for a February 12, 2010 release.

The upcoming movie, which began shooting this week, follows five slightly interconnecting stories playing out in Los Angeles during (of course) Valentine's Day.

Patrick Dempsey will play a married obstetrician (not a neurosurgeon) dating Jennifer Garner's character on the sly, with her unaware of his marital status.

Eric Dane will play a quarterback struggling over the decision of whether to retire from football. Sounds like a quality film - how can it not be with these two?

Patrick Dempsey took a back seat, but still enjoyed a world-class view from a parade route in Le Mans, France, on Friday. The Grey's Anatomy star, who says his dream is to take his kids racing one day, was in town for the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race ...

If Patrick Dempsey has his way, he'll add bus driver to his résumé.

"I'd love to have a nice bus so I could bring my kids racing with me," the Grey's Anatomy star, 43, told People magazine after a qualifying run in his Mazda RX-8 for Friday's Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series in Watkins Glen, N.Y., where he spent a weekend behind the wheel.

For the actor – who qualified for Saturday's Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen at position No. 9, the best in his racing career – balancing his passions with his family duties.

Patrick Dempsey has a daughter Talula, 7, and 2-year-old twin sons Darby and Sullivan with makeup-artist wife Jillian, who he wed in 1999. He calls it a delicate balancing act.

"I would be so happy if they were with me when I race," says Dempsey. "The kids are young so I need to find a great furnished vehicle for all of us so they can be with me on the track."

Dempsey, who's traveling around the world to race – including next week's 24 Hours of Le Mans in France – on his summer break from filming Grey's Anatomy, likens racing to acting.

"I am very focused," he says. "I sit and wait for a race the same way I wait for a scene to be shot on TV or in film. I pace myself emotionally and calm down so when I am on, I am on."

When Grey's Anatomy is on break, Dempsey' life is totally devoted to his racing career, which often coincides with fund-raising for favorite charities like breast cancer.

"When I am not with the kids, I spend all of my off time from the show working toward improving my racing skills," he says. "I love it. I love the healthy competition."

Though his wife and children weren't with him at Saturday's race, the Maine native's mother, sister and other family members were on hand to cheer him on.

"I grew up ski-racing with my family and to them being here feels like I've come home," he says. "I am looking forward to the day my own kids can be at my side."

Despite being an advanced auto racer, McDreamy still pumps his own gas - would you expect any less? Grey's Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey was the picture of patience Monday afternoon as he waited for his ride to refuel at a Brentwood, Calif., gas station ...

He's handsome even in his racing uniform ... or maybe especially in his racing uniform. Grey's Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey worked up a sweat at the Homestead-Miami Speedway on Wednesday where he's set to take part in the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series ...
