Jonathan Bailey: What you don't know about me | Bazaar UK

- Опубликовано: 20 июл 2024
- Until December 2020, English actor Jonathan Bailey was best known for his roles in Crashing, Chewing Gum and comedy series Campus - but now he's gained a new legion of fans thanks to his turn as Anthony Bridgerton in new hit Netflix period drama Bridgerton - which quickly became one of the streaming platform's top viewed series when it was released on Christmas Day.
A keen musical theatre fan (his guilty pleasure is watching musical flashmob videos on RUclips, he tells us), Bailey decided he wanted to go into acting after watching a production of Oliver aged five. Aside from his work in television, the actor went on to have a hugely successful career in theatre. He was nominated for Outstanding Newcomer at the 2012 Evening Standard Theatre Awards for his performance in David Hare's South Downs; he played the role of Tim Price in the musical American Psycho alongside Matt Smith in 2013; in 2017, he appeared alongside Ian McKellen in King Lear at the Chichester Festival Theatre; and in 2018, Bailey was cast in the second West End revival of Company, for which he won the 2019 Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role in a Musical.
From his strangest audition experience, to the most romantic thing anyone has ever done for him, what makes him happiest and what his party trick is, here's what you don't know about Jonathan Bailey.

NOT HIM HAVING THOSE SILVER FOX DADDY HAIR I'M ABOUT TO COMBUST
I love it! Makes him even more sexy!
Him as Mr. Darcy would be a dream
Or James Bond?
Ohhhhhhh
Nooo, Matthew McFadyen is Mr. Darcy for me 😅 But he could be Mr. James Bond instead, he has that look
Agreed 😍
Yeeeeees!
Damn, he's.. handsome.
I was attracted to him more than Simon actually.
then i guess we’ll both love S2 AHHH
OMG SAMEEEEEE
SAMMME. I so much wait for his scenes(m late, still watching)
GOD I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE!!!
Just found out his gay in real life
He's like Ryan Reynolds and Orlando Bloom in one person
I see Ryan Reynolds too!! Thought I was the only one 😂
💯
I see a little of Hugh Jackman too!
I see it!!
Glad to see I’m not the only one who thought Orlando bloom
He played a straight man better than any other straight man and his version of the straight man is what we want for us except you realize that the reason you like this version of a straight man is because it's played by a gay man.
@@atuhmistone5344 girl he doesn’t even know u😭
@@atuhmistone5344 he is also perfect as a gay man.
You’re actually so right… the reason why we (straight women) fell for him so hard is because he played a better straight man (an idolised version that hetero women actually want) than any straight man ever could... he’s in touch with his emotions and isn’t suppressive of them, isn’t “macho”, egotistic like straight men portray themselves. Jonathan is so sweet and talks so deeply about things which shows he really cares and has a profound aspect to him rather than a superficial one
u...just explain..why i love him
Exactly. Except I was disappointed in myself to realize one could be attracted to a gay man pretending to be a straight man because you know you are attracted to straight men. No woman wants to be attracted to a gay man no more than a gay man is attracted to a woman. But having said that he play the part extremely well.
I am a new fan of this man. Just finished watching Fellow Travelers, discovered him in this show. Now I'm gonna bingewatch Bridgerton.
same
That’s why I’m watching this too!!!
same, love skippy so much. Like him even more after watching his interview for he is so masculine and cute in his own look😍😍😍
Watch Crashing (2016)! You'll love it if you love this man
Must watch crashing by phoebe waller bridge
Anyone else on a Johnny Bailey content binge watching spree after watching Bridgerton 2? He is SO LOVABLE 🥺☹️ I can listen to him just speak for hours ugh
I feel so called out right now 😅🤣
Me 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Obsessed with him rn
Me too…can’t get enough of him
Me!
same!!!
I am coming to this late. This man is such an expressive actor. As Tim in the new limited series FELLOW TRAVELERS, he is wonderful, at once needy, nerdy, & repressed and then sexy, sensuous, and filled with an overwhelming, expansive love for, arguably, one who is not as worthy of that love as he should be. Both Jonathan Bailey and Matt Bomer are incredibly good in their roles. ❤ - Mark Whitman
He is so handsome and charming. His accent has the power to melt me.
...He’s British, you say it like it’s unique.
@@TheFever77 Hmm, perhaps I didn't explain myself clearly. It's a combination of his accent, the way he speaks and the warm honey timbre of his voice. If we combine all three, then yes, it is unique.
Is he bisexual?
Being American, we are not used to the British accent. I’d just like to know, what do the British think of the American accent? Of course Americans are the ones with The accent. The British think that the Americans botched up the English language.
@@emoreland tbh as a brit, general american doesn't really register as a foreign accent to me anymore because of widespread american media. I mean ofcourse if I hear a gen am accent in the streets of london I would notice, but if it was on tv I wouldn't. But the accents in the souther part of the US and in the New York area is amaziinggg.
This man is unmatched. We don't deserve him. Everything he said was said with genuine love
Amen🙏💙🌟
His performance is really good in Bridgerton. Hope next season would be his story
If they go by book order, it will be. They sort of set the premise up at the end of season one. That whole “I’m not looking for love, I just need a wife to fulfill my duty.”
They better bring Kate and Newton on.
And today it is confirmed for season 2
He will be the main one in the season 2 actually (like Daphne was in the first one, with his own marriage story). And if you are interested in see something old.. he made a comedy with Phoebe (Fleabag) that is in Netflix named Crashing, the character (Sam) is also a cute dumb asshole like Anthony 😅
@@imjustanotherj Just for clarity (for others who haven't seen Fleabag or Crashing), I just want to point out you are talking about Phoebe Waller-Bridge and not Phoebe Dynevor (Daphne in Bridgerton). Phoebe Waller-Bridge created, wrote, produced and starred in both of those shows (which I LOVE) so I didn't want any Bridgerton fans to get confused if they watched and didn't see Phoebe Dynevor in them. I saw a recent interview with Jonathan Bailey (Anthony Bridgerton) and didn't realize he was in it because I had only seen interviews with Regé-Jean Page & Phoebe Dynevor. I said to myself ... heeey, he's the CUTIE in Crashing!! Finally over the weekend, I finished the whole season within 27 hours!! LOVE IT!!!
I can see him as a primary school teacher, he's just so sunny and genuily excited I'm sure he would get kids excited to learn :)
Agree, but as an openly gay person he'd be targeted by anti-gay bigoted parents. Im openly gay, and that's why I would never be a school teacher.
@@jason84nz That's really sad that we still live in a world that we can't be accepted we genuinely are...
First crush: Eric from 'the little mermaid' I feel you my friend
Yeah! And in "Fellow Travelers" he plays Matt Boner's lover and Matt looks exactly like Prince Eric 👀🚀
Is he grey at his temples????? Faaaaaaack, just when he was already hot, he got hotter.
TRUUUUUUU
he’s such a zaddy 😭🥺😭🥺😭🥺 I miss him on the west end
Yessss
Say it again 🥵
@@theeleanorshellstrop k what’s that?
He is adorable . Haven’t heard of him until I watched Bridgerton - a great actor. Fan right now
Please watch Crashing on Netflix.. Sam - that's the role which made me fall in love with him.. ❤️
www.netflix.com/title/80133117
@@kumarraaj1 thank you for the recommendation. Had no clue this existed
@@kumarraaj1 Yes, that's where I first saw him. Loved Crashing.It's such a shame that there wasn't a second series although they all went off to be very successful.
@@kumarraaj1 same Crashing was my intro to him too. Sad it was cancelled but things happened for a reason
@@kumarraaj1 I am in the US. There are several talented actors and actresses, that I had never heard of before watching Bridgerton. I am going to check out their other work.
He really portrays Anthony well, I can imagine him from the book. And his idea of romantic thing about chatting during the each other's bath time is cute :)
Yep very cute his idea of romantic thing!
Doesn't anyone notice that Matt Bomer who is playing his lover in Fellow Travellers is like the real one Prince Eric from the Little Mermaid? I mean I can't unsee it anymore
this is the first thing that comes to my mind when I heard his answer !! I thought Im the only one noticing that heheheh so thank u
yeah that made me laugh when i heard the answer
The sparkle in his eyes and his energy is penetrating the screen. I think he can be Mr.Darcy and Rum Tum Tugger(CATS) at the same time and give an excellent performance.I hope we will see more of his brilliant acting soon. I adore him
Also Benedict can play Darcy
OMG DARCY 😭😭😭
@@SailorPupusa m
Oh man, Jonathan having that picture of Freddie Mercury on his stand made my heart swoon all the more 😍😍
First thing I noticed too
I think it’s a card not a picture but still 😊
He's so real. No airs just being himself. It's so rare in the field. Love it.
I need another Pride and Prejudice remake with this man as Mr Darcy, please.
I'm losing my mind over the fact that he's Sam in Crashing and Anthony in Bridgerton. The range.
Yeah I 100% agree with you, those 2 roles are polar opposites omg I can’t believe it
it speaks to Jonathan's skill set as an actor
I was just staring at Freddie the whole time
I noticed the pic and then looked away
I love this man , he is so down to earth and such a brilliant actor ❤❤❤❤
The way he played G’raha Tia in FFXIV was simply perfect. Here’s to hoping his fame doesn’t outgrow his ability to continue that role
Wait… WHAAATTTT?! How did I not knows this?!
Who’s here after watching Bridgerton S2??? omg biggest crush ever! And his acting skills.... just breathless
He is so different from his character of Anthony on Bridgerton. To me, that’s the sign of a really good actor. Looking forward to him taking center stage in Season 2.
He was the 1st one to catch my eyes in Bridgerton. He is beautiful.
I have such a crush on him - he seems like such a fun, kind, smart and caring human being. 💜
He looked vaguely familiar in Bridgerton and when I realised he was the hot guy from Chewing Gum I just got so excited LMAO 😆
waiit seriously??!!
I wondered where I'd seen him
Wait I forgot abt that
Where I knew him initially HAHAHAHA that scene/epi with him in it was epic
OMG😭😭😭😭
What a lovely interview. He seems like a genuinely nice person. He was brilliant in Bridgerton.
the last question, he was just so profound and humble! throughout the interview you could see how real and genuine he was, as if he were talking to a best friend. it was absolutely calming and refreshing :)
Much love Anthonyy
I know he plays G’raha Tia so well but he just is G’raha Tia personified and it makes me so happy that he’s actually like this 🥰
Makes you wanna know how much does he know about the character. Like the casting for it is pretty spot on
Can he be anymore lovelier HES GOT FREDDIE ON HIS DESK HOW MANY TIMES WILL YOU WIN MY HEART DEAREST SIR THERES ONLY ONE TO GIVE 😭❤️❤️❤️
i could spend entire my life only listening to this man speaking and i'm not even kidding.
And whispering.
He’ll always be G’raha Tia to me. Dat voice 🐱 #ffxiv
I know everyone is here because of Bridgerton- but I’m here because if G’raha and this man is simply lovely
I was scrolling through the comments just HOPING that I wasn't the only one XD
Also here because of G'raha 😍
SAME HAHA omggg I love his voice
Thanking you for giving a voice to my in-game husband G’raha Tia!
i loved him in crashing! thought he was an absolute cutie :)
Yes.Just binge watched that
Daaaaamn I love crashing but didnt even realise that he was in it because of the blond hair!
@@cc-yi7vp AHHHH, yess! the look was entirely different!
@@nilufaryasmin8920 i've binged it twice after bridgerton 🙈
just watched that this weekend so good!!!!
He seems so nervous but it's so cute! I loved his honest answers. I think he's a great actor and can't wait to see what more he does!
I absolutely loved Johnathan as Anthony. The scene where he’s throwing punches at Simon is mesmerizing as the protective big brother. Can’t wait for season 2 of Bridgerton. I hope we get to see his story next!
Also, we need more Luke Thompson! Benedict is bae.
I had a crush on him since he was in Leonardo on CBBC...
Omg omg !!!
You know what i was a big fan for that show and i also have crash on him. But guess what ! I didn't know that he is the same person in both series. I'm crying😭
Leonardo Gang 😁
Sameee MASSIVE crush on Leonardo 😍
So glad I wasn’t the only one whose been crushing on him for so long 😂 I first had a crush on him in Leonardo, then in W1A and now in Bridgerton! So happy he’s had a successful career!
Same but I first liked him in 5 children and it.
So engaging, he’s such a charming charismatic guy - he was amazing in crashing that’s where my crush began ! 😍
I’m so happy he’s finally getting recognised 🥺♥️
Yes, me too💗
If he ever needs a place to sit, my face is always available.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
So sweet 😂
😭I did not expect this at all🤣
HAHAHA
You're quite shy aren't you? :)
can people please stop pointing out that he is gay? yeah, he is, he doesn't have to be flamboyant - his prerogative if he wanted to be - to be clearly gay. y'all need to educate yourselves. all this toxic masculinity shit bores me.
side note, that jumper looks sooo cozy
Exactly ! Thank you
Every single time a person say a gay actor is attractive or handsome, there is always comments following that says « do you know he is gay » or « shame that he is gay ».
Stuff like that is the reason why openly gay actors struggle so much and have a hard time getting cast because people always only see the sexuality while a straight actor can play everything, his sexuality don’t matter. Talk about double standards
but does anyone have links to the jumper????
I don’t think people mean it. I think it’s just if you have a crush on him (GUILTY!😩) and you realise that your chance of him noticing you is even smaller than it was before. But not trying to offend anyone. It’s interesting because he said he had a girl crush and a boy crush tho..🤩 not trying to label him but maybe some girls still have a chance..😉
@@kerina6594 he's openly gay, you can be gay and have a girl crush the same way straight girls have girl crushes...
genuine question, don't mean to be disrespectful: is he gay or bi? Also, has anyone here watched Crashing? Because if yes you might understand where I'm coming from (ofc ik that was just acting). And if not PLEASE go and watch it right now it's the best show I've ever watched
I can't wait for his character to fall in love again over the show... Such a sweet guy irl though
i was surprised to learn he was gay. But I guess I shouldn't be since gay actors often are the best in playing playboy characters(neil Patrick and matt bomer right?) He's absolutely gorgeous and is the perfect Anthony!
He’s as camp as Christmas 😂
He was... he likes women now?
@@Adam-qu5uk what are you talking about? He's gay. Gay people can't suddenly turn straight...
Wow so many stereotypes in one paragraph - I'm pretty sure being gay doesn't make one predisposed to playing playboy characters -but perhaps you've done research on this -:))))))))
Ikr! The way he was getting it in with Sienna every episode. lol He had me fooled.
Prince Eric! Baby you're gonna have to fight me for him.
I didn't think I could love him anymore than I already did but I love his taste in music, his voice and his ease. He's perfect in Bridgerton and I can't wait to see more of him ... he's a lovely man and a fantastic actor.
Had a massiveee crush on this guy in Leonardo haha so cool to see how his acting career has grown
Finally someone who recognises him from Leonardo
@@amina5782 he was the perfect lead to a great show 🥰 I’ve loved seeing him in so many bbc shows since then
@@jiminsjams6050 same. I remember when they made us watch Othello in English and he was playing Cassio. Needless to say that was the highlight of the lesson
I loved him in Leonardo
The fact that I knew the video he was talking about as soon as he mentioned flashmob and les miz... That's theatre kid culture
I'm obsessed with this guy.
He seems so down to earth and just all around a good guy
I first saw him on Chewing Gum, and was sad that he wasn't in more episodes. Needless to say, I was delighted when I discovered he'd done so much else! :)
Please watch Crashing on Netflix.. Sam - that's the role which made me fall in love with him.. ❤️
www.netflix.com/title/80133117
Looooooooool he was , how could i have forgot that 😭😭
Yeah I wish he had been in more episodes of *Chewing Gum*
absolutely hilarious series
What?? Which episode?? I saw that show but don’t remember him. 😱
So honest and so sincere , love the way he moves his hands , love everything about him really ❤
Had a crush on him since I've seen him in Broadchurch he's so dreamy
VIVA BROADCHURCH FOREVER.....
He is Everything... The picture of Freddie Mercury in the background... He is literally PERFECT!
His performance in Bridgerton is so underrated! Love him💖 Plus, he's a stud.
Now he's getting recognized!!
I see Jonathan I click ✨
This man can go on for hours and no one is complaining. It's probably an innate skill to have people hooked to what you're saying and he totally aces it.
What an absolute star he was at Bridgerton 2! A truly fantastic performance of a pretty complex character. Thank you for making us dream a bit 🙏
I see so much of Hugh Jackman in him or is it just me 😍
especially when he grows out his mutton chops
I adored his performance as Jamie in Company (and Jamie in Last five years) and now he is in Bridgerton 😍 musical artist and actor
His Excellence, the Crystal Exarch. 😎
My brain is trying to catch up over the fact that he voices Gra'ha Tia in Final Fantasy 14. I've been loving him in Bridgerton.
How can you not fall in love with this man?
He is gay and i don't think he is even bi 😭
@@toodles1472 I know 😅 but that doesn’t change my statement: how can yoh not fall in love with him? 😂😭
@@benedetta1492 i have been in love with him for the past couple of days... just a pity for us girls he's gay 😭
omg I love how relatable he is .. he seems like such a sweetheart. It would be a great treat to meet him one day! What a gem !
I could fall for him right away! Such wise observations spoken with authenticity and kindness!
Have anybody thought about dreaming to conquer a person like Johnathan? Well, quite frankly I am! And whatever my future will be this human being has inspired myself to reach the best within my person and my ambitions...
So... Prince Eric was one of his first crushes?!?!?! Isn't Prince Eric just Matt Bomer as a cartoon?
My thoughts exactly
love his acting in Bridgerton. SO talented
He’s handsome ,he’s a gentleman ,he protects his sister from questionable men and he’s gay and… Freddie Mercury looking over his shoulders? Ohh My Days!!!!!
I’m beginning to love this man
He's gay?
@@geliansumaday1298 yeah he is
@@princelasdoce1702 dating with same sex? really?
He is just such a nice guy and what a great sense of humor too!
What a gorgeous being!
Freddie's picture in the back is just chef's kiss
The way I am falling for this man that I will never meet is so unhealthy. A shared loved for musical theater and Prince Eric. I can't >_
I remember watching him in Leonardo as a kid growing up. So glad he's been on so many successful projects since!
New obsession found: Jonathan Bailey. His voice, that face, his personality, talent and more. Where can I find someone like this in real life? 🥲 (I know Jonathan is 🏳️🌈 & has a prince but I’m sayin I want one like him, vibes wise)
True.. He's so down to earth, well articulate and pretty 🥹
Same my girls...
His voice is sooo seductive idk he could say anything and I’d probably swoon
I can see him just play just about anyone actually and be amazing. And what a fabulous personality.
Wow, being told he thinks that primary teachers are modern day heroes has definitely brightened this primary teacher's day
You are a modern day hero!
Thank you so much for the beautiful work you do for and with our children.
In kindness-
🙏🙏🙏
I knew him from Broadchurch series on Netflix on November to December 2020, he acted really well on the series. A month later, January 2021, I found Bridgerton. I didn't know that the Regency era series was a mega hit at that time but am happy knowing Jonathan Bailey playing on those two series. *two thumbs up
I watched Broadchurch years ago before I even knew who Jonathan was, I'm going to need to rewatch that show just for him now!
G’RAHA TIA!!❤️
Just now seeing my lovely Catboi G'raha Tia in the flesh... He is such a sweetheart 🥰
What you don’t know… just how adorable and charming he is in person! 😁 Plus, it was nice that he made a shoutout to all primary teachers 👩🏫 as I am one. 😘 Couldn’t love you more Jon 🥰
What a lovely man he is. I only know him from Bridgerton. Now I need to know his past work and see his other future work.
started watching fellow travelers and i'm absolutely in love with this guy. i'm a bit late to the party, but i need to watch bridgerton next
Why is he so damn charming?! I hate how much I am obsessed with this man
Okay, hold on. I think I was already in love with him, but as soon as he mentioned that if he hadn't be an actor, he would have been a primary school teacher, I think I got struck by a armor's bloody arrow right in the feels again aaaand then he was talking about how he is staying in touch with his highschool friends to stay sane and down to earth, duuuuuude. He is everything. :'((((((( He talks with a smile in his face the whole time. This man is just ARGH. What a lovely human being.
I'm now a buddhist and I WISH and PRAY everyday to be reborn as a gay man! I will be coming for you Jonny! :D Maybe next life.
Can picture him with ears and a tail hanging out with my warrior of light in FFXiV
Johnny is such a versatile actor! I am a new fan for life!
Jonathan is amazing! I loved what he did in Bridgerton and then I saw again Crashing...
PLEASE PHOEBE OR REGÉ NEXT!!! Specially Regé, he’s so secretive of his life. He might want to spill some facts about him! 😃
I need to see him in so many more things! He sounds like he'd be a blast to hang out with.
omg the photo of Freddie in the background😭 i love that
Can you stop being suuchhh a daddy on BRIDGERTON??? damn. Devastating my poor heart, one smile at a time.
No mention of him in Final Fantasy XIV where he plays one of the most beloved and fan favourite characters listed in his achievements? C'mon.
Right?? I’m hoping he reprised his role for the next expansion. Hope he’s not too big of a star for that now T___T
Yeah the voice is an integral part, he was so goooooooooooood. He seems to nice to leave us though heheh
I just hope he doesn't grow too famous for the game because he really is best boi
He is so adorable and such a good actor! I can’t wait to see more of him in season 2.
He is the absolute best!! Obsessed with how genuine.
awh he seems so sweet and genuine he’s so funny!🥺🙈😂
