## “It’s a huge honor – and a bit absurd” Bailey admitted that he barely kept the secret from his loved ones after learning about his win in advance. > “It’s a huge honor. Of course, I’m incredibly flattered. And... it’s complete absurdity,” the actor said with a smile. According to Jonathan, his friends and family have seen the entire journey – from insecurity and unsuccessful auditions to triumphant roles in Hollywood. ## From Oxfordshire to Hollywood Originally from Oxfordshire, Jonathan dreamed of the stage from a young age. At five, he attended a performance of *“Oliver!”* for the first time and decided that he would also become an actor one day. By the age of seven, he was performing with the **Royal Shakespeare Company**, and later confidently secured his place in theater and film. True fame came after his role as Lord Anthony in *“Bridgertons.”* Then came *“The Travelers”* – a project that earned the actor an **Emmy** nomination, and the musical *“Wicked,”* where he first showcased his musical talents. Last year, Bailey also appeared in the blockbuster **“Jurassic World: Dominion,”** sharing the screen with Scarlett Johansson. ## No Star Attitude Despite his rapid success, Jonathan does not consider himself a star. > “I feel a bit awkward about all this fuss. And, to be honest, I think this feeling will never go away,” the actor confessed. He is currently preparing for the premiere of **“Wicked: Forever,”** which will be released worldwide on **November 21.** According to the artist, he is trying to enjoy the last weeks of calm before a new wave of attention. **Source:** kleo https://www.kleo.ru/news/showbiz/2025/11/5/britanskij-akter-dzhonatan-bejli-priznan-samym-seksualnym-muzhchinoj--goda.shtml
