The magazine on Monday night revealed the 37-year-old Jurassic World: Rebirth star as their 2025 pick, just ahead of the second Wicked chapter flying into theaters later this month. It's a huge honor, the Emmy-nominated Fellow Travelers actor said of his newest accolade. Obviously I'm incredibly flattered. And it's completely absurd.

Chu's Wicked: For Good, which concludes the blockbuster adaptation of the Broadway hit."
"Bailey will reprise his role of love interest Fiyero in the Wizard of Oz prequel, opposite Cynthia Erivo's Elphaba and Ariana Grande's Glinda.

Of those 10 nods, the first installment won two: Best Costume Design and Best Production Design."
