English actor Jonathan Bailey has been crowned People magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive" for 2025, a high point in a career that has steadily gathered momentum. The selection was revealed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, putting the 37-year-old in the international spotlight.
Best known for his turn as Lord Anthony Bridgerton in the Netflix sensation Bridgerton, Bailey described the honour as both humbling and slightly surreal. Ever modest, he quipped that the first to know was his dog Benson, playfully downplaying the fanfare.
He is preparing to return to the big-screen musical world in the sequel Wicked: For Good, reprising the role of Prince Fiyero. Bailey also featured in the franchise’s 2024 blockbuster prequel tied to The Wizard of Oz universe, and this summer broadened his range with the dinosaur action film Jurassic World: Rebirth.
The title of "Sexiest Man Alive" has long been a cultural touchstone from People magazine, previously bestowed on stars such as Idris Elba, Adam Levine, Channing Tatum and Chris Hemsworth. John Krasinski held the distinction in 2024.
From theatre to television and film, Bailey's dynamic performances and magnetic screen presence have raised his global profile—earning him attention for both his talent and his charm as he continues to grow as a performer.
