The duo also chatted about the \"Grey's Anatomy\" star's love of racing cars, opening the Dempsey Center, which holistically treats those impacted by cancer, his twin boys who are learning to drive and his upcoming movie \"Ferrari,\" due out on Christmas Day.

\"It's my favorite movie I've ever been a part of,\" Dempsey said. \"I think it's absolutely beautiful. There's a lot of humanity it in. The dynamic, the human dynamic with [Enzo] Ferrari and his relationships with his wife, his lover and the racing community, and his journey to kind of realize his dream at all costs.\"

People's Sexiest Man Alive issue hits stands on Friday.
