'Enchanted' star and "Grey's Anatomy" doc PATRICK DEMPSEY is returning to the big screen to play a well-to-do guy looking to land his soon-to-be-married best friend in 'Made of Honor,' in theaters May 2 -- and our own MARY HART has more with the versatile screen star!
"I think the scene when my character finds out that he's gonna be the bridesmaid is very funny -- it's [like] one of the old slapstick comedies," Patrick tells Mary about the romantic comedy.
In real life, Patrick's 'Made of Honor' co-star MICHELLE MONAGHAN had a man as maid of honor in her wedding (which she called her "man of honor"), and Patrick's 'Grey's Anatomy' co-star T.R. KNIGHT was the maid of honor at KATHERINE HEIGL's wedding!
"That's the new trend, I guess," muses Patrick.
Patrick also reveals that he was finally able to focus on his family and wife JILLIAN during the three-month Writers Guild strike, which has finally ended.
"We had some date nights; it was nice," he says, adding, "I spent time with the kids and really needed that; I really needed some time to stay at home and not be on the road so much working long hours. It was fun to get some racing in as well. It's been good for me, and I'm glad we're going back to work."
