"Where was Bailey when he got the big news? He was 30 shows deep into a 130-show run playing Richard II in Shakespeare's Richard II- a fitting tribute considering Richard II was good-looking enough to be the first English king ever to have his portrait painted during his lifetime, though sadly he was neither wet nor with dog in his pic."
"Since 2022, Bailey's played the lead in the very sexy second season of Bridgerton , a slutty little glasses-wearing paleontologist in Jurassic World: Rebirth , and of course, Fiyero Tigelaar, the bisexual prince of Winkie Country in In short, he's really been dancing through life in terms of film and TV credits these past few years. (Alright, maybe it's time to admit I won't actually stop...)"
"On being the first openly gay man to earn the title, Bailey told Fallon, "I'm sort of thrilled that magazine has invited someone in to bestow this honor on someone who can really cherish the value of a sexy man." As someone who also cherishes the value of a sexy man, it's nice to see the award go to someone who actually makes sense (reminder that last year's pick was John Krasinski -nearly two decades late) and not someone whose publicist appears to be working overtime."
Bailey was 30 shows into a 130-show run playing Richard II when he received the news. Since 2022, he has taken lead roles including the second season of Bridgerton, a glasses-wearing paleontologist in Jurassic World: Rebirth, and Fiyero Tigelaar, the bisexual prince of Winkie Country. He became the first openly gay man to receive the Sexiest Man Alive title and expressed gratitude for the recognition. Observers contrasted the choice with last year's John Krasinski pick and welcomed a selection that aligned with the accolade's intent. Brief celebrity news items and fashion moments are also listed.
