"By which we mean, of course and Bridgerton star Jonathan Bailey was declared this year's hottest thing walking, joining the ranks of previous winners including George Clooney, Denzel Washington, and Blake Shelton (don't shoot the messenger). Bailey makes history as the first openly gay man to be declared the "Sexiest Man Alive" by the magazine. And he did it in the gayest way possible: starring in a musical in which his character can't decide which diva he's more obsessed with, the belter or the soprano."
""Obviously I'm incredibly flattered," Bailey said when People asked him about winning the award. "And it's completely absurd. [ Laughs] It's been a secret, so I'm quite excited for some friends and family to find out." He added that, due to the nondisclosure agreement, he hadn't told anybody except his dog, Benson, who he posed with for one of the covers (while shirtless). We're getting word he just went up on the sexy-o-meter as we speak."
Jonathan Bailey was declared People’s Sexiest Man Alive on November 4, becoming the magazine’s first openly gay recipient. He stars in a musical where his character vacillates between obsession with a belter and a soprano. Bailey said he was “sort of thrilled” that People bestowed the honor and expressed excitement during a Tonight Show interview. He told People he was flattered and called the recognition “completely absurd,” revealing that an NDA limited who knew, and that only his dog Benson knew earlier. Broadway’s current Fiyero, Jordan Litz, ran the New York City Marathon, performed two shows, and earned media coverage.
