Dempsey’s Wife Co-stars In Fragrance Campaign
By WENNTuesday, December 1, 2009
PATRICK DEMPSEY has persuaded his wife to be his latest co-star - for a steamy new fragrance campaign.
The Grey’s Anatomy hunk rejected a string of leggy models for the launch of his second fragrance with Avon, Patrick Dempsey 2, and decided he’d rather shoot with his wife of 10 years, Jillian.
The stylist appears by his side in the sunset beach shots - and Dempsey admits he cringed at the idea of appearing to get intimate with a stranger for the campaign.
He tells People.com, “I don’t feel comfortable having a model in (the ads). I’m married, and that’s not something I want to project… (I thought) Why can’t I just use my wife and make it about that? It was a nice moment for us to be together.”
