What is Patrick Dempsey's net worth? Here's a look at 'Grey's Anatomy' star's fortune ahead of 'Enchanted 2'
It's a happily-ever-after for 'Enchanted' fans, as Patrick Dempsey revealed that he was returning for a sequel to the popular Disney film. On the pre-recorded virtual chat on 'Good Morning America', the former 'Grey's Anatomy' star revealed that he was keen to back on the big screen and even shared a glimpse of the script during his interview. "I just got this script for the second movie, and then I'm starting to go through and get notes together," he said, holding up the black leather-bound screenplay. He also mentioned that they would start shooting by early spring 2021.
"Amy Adams is so amazing in that film," he said, adding that it "was a fun project to be part of". In the 2007 film, Adams played the role of Giselle, a young woman in the animated fantasy kingdom of Analasia who dreams of meeting her prince charming, Prince Edward (James Marsden), and having an epic romance. However Edward's mother, played by Susan Sarandon is an evil sorceress is determined to not let this happen, as she will lose all her powers if her son finds his true love, so she banishes Giselle to the live-action world. She finds herself in New York City, and that's where she meets Patrick Dempsey's character.
The film made over $340.5 million against an $85 million budget, and propelled Dempsey to further fame, who had already consolidated his position in fan's hearts as 'Grey's Anatomy's McDreamy. Dempsey, who played the handsome Derek Shepherd in the ABC show, made $400,000 per episode at the time of his exit in 2015. The actor returned in Season 17 for a surprise cameo, and rumour has it that this appearance was an extravagantly pricey one.
Dempsey has also starred in successful films such as ' Valentine's Day', 'Enchanted' as well as his recent show 'Devils'. The actor's net worth is around $80 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. The Hollywood Reporter reported that Dempsey's exit from 'Grey's Anatomy' allowed the show to save around $ 9.6 million per season. He made the same amount as his co-star Ellen Pompeo, even though she was the lead protagonist and often said that she deserved more as the show was named after her.
