Jonathan Bailey is hot!

Came out too soon, appears too thin with an eating disorder, and looks perpetually tired around the eyes.

I’d still eat his ass, though.

Bit of a famewhore. I find his incessant fabulousness tiring. He'll be Tom Daley if he's not careful.

[quote]appears too thin with an eating disorder

He looks perfectly healthy in Fellow Travelers, with a jacked torso I'd kill for. No signs of a quick starvation course that some male models and actors do before scenes to achieve a slight indentation in their abs either. Also, people with an eating disorder don't usually have perfect glowing skin like he does in those closeups.

I will concede that he is hungry for fame (or just success?) but he also has the requisite talent to back it up.

How charitable of you, r1.

He's about 5'6 short. A diddy man.

He’s gay, gorgeous, & talented. Of course, DL hates him!

He's pretty much my ideal.

Not sure if hitting the gym, bulking up and thirst photos were a condition of Bridgerton but he was so skinny in his 20s.

I wrote R2. He's a lovely guy, with talent. I just think the embrace of the glitter ball is bullshit.

What r6 said. He’s hot, very talented and seems like a hard-worker. What is possibly the issue?

How is he a fame whore? Because he promotes his work and has an Instagram?

^ yeah. He's plainly gone Hollywood. It's too bad. At the beginning of his career his interviews were laid back and grounded. He was a nice kid, good role model. Now he's smearing cosmetics across his face.

Cosmetics? Noooooooooo!

He’s good at disappearing into a role. In stark contrast to his Bridgerton character who is a straight heartthrob, he plays a convincing gay nerd (with an American accent) on Fellow Travelers. Looking forward to seeing him in Wicked.

[Quote] He’s gay, gorgeous, & talented.

you sound positively parched.

R14 I’m curious. Which of those things do you disagree with?

He’s getting rave reviews for his portrayal of Timothy Laughlin in Fellow Travelers. His love scenes with Matt Bomer, as Hawkins Fuller, are sizzling and sweet.

R15 gorgeous

It’s too bad he can’t act.

I haven’t seen anything else he’s been in, but he’s very good in Fellow Travelers. He may be nominated for Best Supporting Actor.

I’d gladly pound his hole.

R18 is the sourpuss poster who claims every hot actor “can’t act”.

[quote] It’s too bad he can’t act.

Yeah, either you don't know what you are talking about, or you just love to troll. I'm assuming it's actually both.

I think he's a fine actor but physically doesn't turn me on. That's just me.

Good on him and much respect to him for being out and authentic. I don't know much about him but he seems like someone to be proud of.

We all know it's tough so kudos to him. He was good in Bridgeton and Broadchurch. He's a pretty good actor and nice on the eye. I had no idea he was gay until I saw a thread here after watching Bridgeton. I haven't seen him in anything else but will try Fellow Travellers at some point.

Interesting article from a couple years ago that gives a little background information. He was acting on stage in Cock at the same time he was working in Bridgerton.

Nominated for Best Supporting Actor in a Limited Series (Fellow Travelers) for Critics Choice Award.

Very sexy in the Fire Island episode.

Not my type. I prefer Bomer.

He is really lovely to look at in person, I saw him up close two days ago.

He is also not 5'6"! He's around 5'11".

Guys with those doe-like dark brown eyes are always captivating to me. He's dreamy.

He has such an enthusiastic attitude. Seems like he would be fun to be around.

Totally hole-tonguable

Listen…Shonda Rhimes always knows how to pick the hottest actors with the most charisma. You don’t have to enjoy her kind of shows but if you know anything about her, you know it’s true. I saw this guy on his first episode of Bridgerton and even with the bad mutton chops they had him in at the time…I knew he was going to be a star

He’s going to win some awards for his role in FT. He plays Tim so well, American accent and all.

Interesting interview. He has a cool grandma!

He's a very intelligent, grounded, decent guy. I posted up thread I was a bit dismayed at how publicity whore he'd gone, but he hasn't fundamentally changed in his outlook, despite the frippery. And I can't really blame him for enjoying himself. It's too bad there aren't more role models like him. That story about the coffee shop is astonishing. Should it be?

He was in the audience of "An Audience with Kylie" that aired here in the UK at the weekend. He was sat next to another gay actor, Hugh Skinner. I assume they're just friends?

JB was queening it out to Kylie's hits with the rest of the audience. We love to see it.

I think he a Hugh Skinner have done a couple things together. W1A for sure. Crashing, maybe?

You must watch W1A if you can... Bailey plays a total asshole, subtly and brilliantly.

From r35:

[quote]His relationship status is off-limits. There’s “a lovely man”, but that’s all he’ll say. “It's not secret, but it's private,” he says.

Jandrew?

He sings?!!

[quote] He sings?!!

This has been posted somewhere on DL before, but here's his audition for "Last Five Years."

He can sing, but that song is TERRIBLE!

I forget how popular that garbage music is!

Bailey won a 2019 Olivier award for Best Supporting Actor in a musical for "Company."

He’s a triple threat. Isn’t he in the upcoming WICKED adaptation also?

R45, yes.

At one point, he was working on Fellow Travelers in Canada and Bridgerton in England at the same time. And he was starting rehearsals for Wicked.

Not sure of the original source for this, but saw it on X/Twitter:

Top 5 hottest men of the year, according to Grindr users:

#1. Henry Cavill

#2. Lil Nas X

#3. Troye Sivan

#4. Luke Evans

#5. Jonathan Bailey

Top 5 hottest GAY men of the year?

He has a bag of acting ticks.

I can sense that Matt and Jonathan are falling in love.

R48 I’d put Matt Bomer on that list after Fellow Travelers.

R51 They are actors who formed a deep friendship while making an emotional show and are currently doing press to promote it. They have a great rapport. It’s fun to watch them, but they’ll both move on to other projects soon.

R48

#4. Luke Evans???

If the ranking is sinking that low, might as well include Billy Porter...

Worst list ever.

R51 Who wouldn’t fall in love with either one of them? I believe Matt is devoted to his family, though.

I wouldn't fall in love with either of them. Actors are energy sucks. The gorgeous successful ones especially. Because they have mastered the smoke an mirror chemistry of allure. They can be nice and interesting friends.

Yeah Bomer turned down the biggest movie of the year (BARBIE) because he didn’t want to leave his kids or husband for a few months or whatever the shoot took. He’s not ditching his family for a guy who lives in the UK no matter how cute he is.

Good to see he didn't cover his body with tatts.

R56 Nice to be so in control of who you fall in love with. Very rational of you, but that’s not always how it works. Have you ever actually ever been in love?

When did Matt split with Simon and who has the kids? Just learned Matt now lives in the West Village.

Only when he is in New York. The rest of the time he lives in LA with Simon and their kids.

R60 piss poor trolling, stupid cunt.

So fuckin' hot. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Johnny at Golden Globes

He's getting old.

Jonny with Best Supporting Actor award at Critic’s Choice.

In his role as Tim in Fellow Travelers

Before FT I'd only known him from "Bridgerton" and I didn't realize he was sooo gay. Lately, he seems really, really gay in interviews and appearances. Maybe I just wasn't paying attention to him before.

Apparently he’s been gay all his life. Hasn’t stopped him from playing straight roles very convincingly.

[quote] Apparently he’s been gay all his life.

Oh, he didn’t switch halfway through? Imagine that.

Jonny was diagnosed with ADHD in 22/23. ...he is a fire cracker. I liked him in 'Crashing'...great comedic timing and high energy. He's very fit, marathons etc and he's climbed to Base Camp on Mt Everest. Sing, dance, act what could be better?

[quote] Apparently he’s been gay all his life.

I refuse to believe that! My cousin is gay and I know how gay guys are. Jonny is as straight as an arrow but he's been groomed by the velvet mafia. If anything, he was turned gay by Hollyweird.

Some people apparently don’t recognize tongue in cheek remarks. 😄

He wA the best dressed man last night at the Met Gala.

Does Jonathan Bailey have arse hairs?

Yes, I found that out when he asked to sit on my face.

You know he’s a good fuck.

Most actresses are.

Needy and always looking for affirmation.
