Or you could use a camera that allows for a shallow DOF?
BOING!
Try doing something like this with your toy Crapasonic.

That's with no Photoshop blurring, BTW.
With all due respect, by working so hard to blur the background so much
you've thrown large parts of your subject out of focus and lost the
context. The distractingly blurred foreground object at the lower left
is likewise a problem, crying out for portrait mode cropping. (I like
the lighting effect, except for the washed out highlights.) It may have
been a fun exercise, but greater depth of field would have given you a
better image (in my opinion at least). What matters is not what the
camera can do, but what makes for a great image. Just because your lens
can open up that far doesn't mean you should necessarily do it. ;)
