I knew Patrick Dempsey had it in him. Haven't you ever seen the movie, "Loverboy"?
Dempsey played a real-life action hero last week, when, using a crowbar, a fire extinguisher and some quick thinking, the actor pulled a teenage boy to safety after his car flipped over near Dempsey's Malibu, Calif., home.
Following the rescue, Dempsey called paramedics and stayed by the teen's side as Weston Masset was airlifted to the hospital, where he was treated for a concussion and an eye injury.
He will be fine.
Dempsey, 46, also called Masset's mother to apprise her of her son's situation.
"He had a certain authority in his voice," said a "super-grateful" Mary Beth Masset. "I asked if he was a paramedic and he said, 'No, this is Patrick Dempsey.' I thought, 'McDreamy?'"
McDreamy? No way, do we forget the 1989 movie "Loverboy" where Dempsey played pizza delivery boy Randy Bodek?
As a pizza delivery boy that was sleeping with numerous women that were ordering pizzas, Dempsey had to be adroit at hiding in closets and ducking out of windows to avoid angry husbands.
This role where quick thinking was required prepared Dempsey to rescue injured drivers and become a hero.
He was able to survive in "Loverboy" while delivering pizzas with extra anchovies, and he was able to rescue Weston Masset from being trapped in his car.
