""She's levitating you," emphasized Corenswet, who once played Ben Platt's boyfriend on The Politician. "Every man out there would think there's no way you can look masculine and powerful and in control when you're being levitated by a woman. And you, in that moment when she's lifting you by your fucking massive arms, maintained your masculinity. Well done, mate. Because it's a lot easier when you're carrying the girl.""
""It was, like, a total honor," Bailey fixes his face to respond, neatly sidestepping the masculinity comments that have since prompted backlash. "I'll be carried by Cynthia and Ari for the rest of my life if I could be. What a treat to come and do my bit and share a moment like that. Even technically, to be in a harness and opposite her while singing, it's incredible.""
David Corenswet's Clark Kent lifts Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) in a levitating kiss. Jonathan Bailey's Fiyero is carried by Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) during "As Long As You're Mine." Corenswet observes that many men would assume a loss of masculinity when being lifted by a woman, and he praises Bailey for maintaining masculinity while being carried. Bailey calls being carried by Cynthia and Ari a total honor and describes the harnessed singing as incredible. The masculinity remarks prompted backlash, which Bailey sidesteps by expressing gratitude for the performance. Playful banter touches on "Sexiest Man Alive," Heated Rivalry season two, and possible hockey-based HBO roles.
