The actor, currently starring in several major films including this year’s Jurassic World: Rebirth and the upcoming Wicked: For Good, received the coveted title. His Wicked co-stars and others have been sharing their excitement, but it’s Netflix’s simple reaction to the news about the Bridgerton star that’s really caught people’s attention.

Jeff Goldblum’s comment about Bailey being incredibly attractive really struck me – he jokingly called him the sexiest man not just on Earth, but throughout the entire universe and beyond! I completely agree, and a lot of other people did too, especially after seeing Bailey featured on the cover of People magazine.

Lots of celebrities shared their excitement for Bailey in the comments section of the post. This included Erivo and several of his co-stars, such as Matt Bomer, with whom he starred in the show Fellow Travelers.

Many of Bailey’s colleagues, fellow performers, and fans shared wonderful reactions to the announcement. I especially want to highlight what Charithra Chandran, who played Edwina Sharma in Bridgerton, said. It’s important to discuss how Netflix and the show that launched Bailey’s career responded to the news as well.

Netflix Shared A One-Word Reaction About The Bridgerton Star Earning This Title

Most people recently got to know Jonathan Bailey through his roles on TV and at glamorous events, especially thanks to his charming look with those signature glasses. But for those of us who watch Netflix, we’ve been fans of his for quite a while!

The streamer also made their feelings known, responding to the news about the actor who plays Anthony Bridgerton with a single, funny word.

I’m definitely not alone in being completely captivated by Kate and Anthony’s romance from Bridgerton since 2022. Jonathan Bailey’s portrayal of the viscount won over a lot of fans, and we’ve all been hoping for more ever since!

As Netflix pointed out, he’s undeniably the Sexiest Man Alive. They even used that famous photo of him emerging from the water in Season 2 to really emphasize it.

Not only was the title clever and Netflix’s reply spot-on, but it also brought to mind that Jonathan Bailey will return for Season 4 of Bridgerton to focus on Benedict’s storyline.

But before all that, he’s taking on another role! The Sexiest Man Alive will soon be back on the big screen as the charming prince in Wicked: For Good, which comes out November 21st.
