"The 37-year-old Brit, lauded this year for his performances as Fiyero in Wicked: For Good and Dr. Henry Loomis in Jurassic World Rebirth, is the first publicly gay actor to top the annual box office chart, according to Variety. Jurassic World Rebirth, released back in June, became one of the hottest films of the summer, grossing more than $869million globally, making it the fifth highest-grossing film of the year."
"His roles in two of the year's biggest blockbuster movies have helped push his status as a global household name. So too have his numerous headline-making outfit and accessory choices - who can forget the slutty little glasses that dominated the Jurassic World Rebirth press tour - and his undeniable chemistry with his co-stars, Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, and Scarlett Johansson."
Jonathan Bailey topped 2025 box office charts as the highest-grossing actor and became the first publicly gay actor to do so. Two of his films—Jurassic World Rebirth ($869 million global, fifth highest of the year) and Wicked: For Good (over $470 million to date)—anchored that success. Bailey transitioned from predominantly small-screen work to leading roles in multiple 2025 cinematic releases and also appeared on stage in London. High-profile press-tour fashion choices and on-screen chemistry with co-stars increased his visibility. In November he became the first out gay actor named PEOPLE's 'Sexiest Man Alive,' while debate continues over industry acceptance of queer actors.
