Disenchanted star Patrick Dempsey has been gushing about his love of Ireland to fellow Grey’s Anatomy alum Ellen Pompeo.

Dempsey, who stayed in Ireland earlier this year while filming the sequel to Disney’s Enchanted, told the Tell Me with Ellen Pompeo podcast that his experience of the country was “everything you would imagine it to be” during that time.
