Some McDreamy fans are not too happy with his new look.
The Grey's Anatomy alum traded his famous salt-and-pepper locks for a shorter 'do, courtesy of his own clippers.
Dempsey's wife Jillian posted a video of the event on Instagram.
She captioned the post:
"Change is good!"
"Have you ever buzzed your hair?"
"Watch @patrickdempsey use clippers to eliminate the dyed hair from a character role and start fresh!"
"P.S. My Roadie was standing by to help give it some edge for styling."
Many viewers were completely devastated.






There were, however, some who expressed their approval of his new look.






Jillian revealed to People:
"Patrick recently dyed his hair platinum for a project [his upcoming film 'Ferrari'], and even though he colored his hair back, it wasn't the same natural 'salt-and-pepper' color that we all know and love."
Yes, yes we do.
She finished:
"In order to let his color grow back naturally, we needed to give him a fresh and short start."
So it seems that the iconic Dempsey 'do will make a comeback.
*Cue collective sigh of relief*
