British actor Jonathan Bailey, best known for his role as Lord Anthony in the popular series Bridgerton, has been named the Sexiest Man Alive of 2025 by People magazine. The honor recognizes his exceptional acting talent, natural charisma, and undeniable charm, reports Baltimore Chronicle with reference to People.
Bailey, who portrayed the eldest of the Bridgerton siblings, has also starred in several major productions in recent years, including Travelers, Jurassic World: Rebirth, and Wicked. According to People, the 37-year-old English actor has become the embodiment of wit, elegance, and irresistible allure — making him one of Hollywood’s most captivating stars.
The actor shared the joyful news on social media, admitting that receiving such a title felt both flattering and surreal. “It’s a huge honor. I’m incredibly grateful — and at the same time, it feels completely absurd,” Bailey joked in a comment to People, adding that it was difficult to keep the news secret from his friends and family.
Last year, the title of Sexiest Man Alive by People went to actor John Krasinski, known for his role in the comedy series The Office.
Jonathan Bailey was born on April 25, 1988, in Oxfordshire, where he grew up in the countryside with his three older sisters. His passion for acting emerged at the age of five after attending a stage production of Oliver! with his grandmother. At seven, he made his debut with the Royal Shakespeare Company, eventually becoming a celebrated figure in British theater. In 2019, Bailey won the prestigious Laurence Olivier Award for his performance in the musical Company.
Little is known about the actor’s personal life, though he has publicly spoken about his homosexuality — a statement widely praised for its honesty and authenticity, inspiring many of his fans.
