‘Wicked’ and ‘Jurassic World’s Jonathan Bailey Named Sexiest Man Alive 2025

by

Okay, let me tell you, this year’s “Sexiest Man Alive” is someone you’ve definitely been seeing a lot of! It’s Jonathan Bailey, and honestly, it’s well-deserved. He’s been working steadily for a while, but roles like Fiyero in Wicked and the incredibly charming paleontologist Henry Loomis in Jurassic World Rebirth really shot him into the spotlight. And this is a particularly cool moment – he’s the first openly gay man to receive the title, and he’s absolutely thrilled about it. It’s a fantastic win for him, and a refreshing one for the title itself!

I’m really excited to see Bailey back on the big screen this month in the sequel to that incredible musical adaptation – everyone’s predicting it’s going to be a massive hit! I just saw a clip from his appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon where he was talking about his recent award, and he playfully credited Fallon himself with helping him achieve it. He said,

I’m incredibly honored to be here, and I want to thank Jimmy for graciously allowing me this opportunity by declining it himself.

Bailey explained to Fallon that it hadn’t been difficult to keep the news under wraps before it was officially released.

Since attendance is low, people have been asking if the tour is still happening. I recently took a short break with friends before starting the ‘Wicked’ press tour to relax and spend some time together. We went out for drinks, and jokingly, I declared myself ‘the sexiest man alive.’ My friends playfully responded by encouraging me to keep repeating it as a self-affirmation.

Bailey is now officially among the stars like John Krasinski, Michael B. Jordan, Paul Rudd, and Chris Evans who have been named “Sexiest Man Alive” by People magazine.

‘Wicked: For Good’ Will Crown Jonathan Bailey’s Year

Jonathan Bailey is a talented actor with a promising future in Hollywood, but right now, everyone is eagerly awaiting the release of Wicked: For Good on November 26, 2025. He considers working on the film a true honor, largely thanks to director Jon M. Chu, who overcame challenges and expectations to create last year’s blockbuster musical film, Wicked.

As a film critic, I have to say, watching these incredibly talented people at the peak of their craft is a real privilege. And honestly, I’m thrilled to be able to champion Jon M. Chu – he’s a truly gifted and imaginative director. I predict this film will be deeply moving for audiences, but in the best way possible – it’s shaping up to be something genuinely beautiful.

Last year, the movie Wicked earned an impressive $756 million at the box office, making it the most successful film ever based on a Broadway musical. Now, the upcoming movie Wicked: For Good is predicted to be just as popular – and potentially even more of a hit – making it one of the year’s most awaited releases.
