Jonathan Bailey Named 'Sexiest Man Alive 2025' by People Magazine!

British actor Jonathan Bailey has been named 'Sexiest Man Alive 2025' by the American entertainment magazine People.

On the 3rd (local time), People released Bailey's photoshoot and in-depth interview online, and major foreign news outlets, including the AP, reported the news on the 4th.

Bailey rose to stardom with his charming performance in the Netflix hit series 〈Bridgerton〉. Last year, he solidified his position as an actor by taking on a significant role in the musical film 'Wicked', driving its box office success.

Additionally, in 2023, he achieved the remarkable feat of being nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor for his role in the American drama 〈Fellow Travelers〉.

In early July, to celebrate the release of the film 〈Jurassic World: New Beginnings〉, he visited Korea with Scarlett Johansson, receiving a warm welcome from Korean fans.

Bailey expressed his feelings about receiving the title of 'Sexiest Man' on 〈The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon〉, stating it was "a once-in-a-lifetime honor."

In an interview with People, he revealed that he developed his dream of becoming an actor after watching a performance of the musical 〈Oliver!〉 with his grandmother at the age of five. Just two years later, he made that childhood dream a reality by performing with the prestigious British theater company 'Royal Shakespeare Company'. He has since steadily built his stage career and starred in 〈Richard II〉 earlier this year in London.

Bailey has publicly come out as gay and has established a fund to support LGBTQ+ organizations.

Over the years, the title of 'Sexiest Man Alive' awarded by People has included notable actors such as Mel Gibson in 1985, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Dwayne Johnson, Pierce Brosnan, and sports stars like David Beckham.
