"it must be said that the People honor is part of a much larger PR machine that is routinely given to willing stars who have something to promote (actors like Ryan Gosling, Glen Powell, and Pedro Pascal have all reportedly turned it down in the past). It's no coincidence, of course, that Bailey's crowning coincides with the start of what will surely be another all-consuming press tour for Wicked: For Good, and the arrival of his other 2025 blockbuster, Jurassic World Rebirth, on streaming."
"Secondly, and most importantly, Bailey is-and I'm using the scientific term here-absolutely fucking gorgeous. With deep brown eyes, a perpetually cheeky grin, and no fewer than 36 abs, he is the picture your teenage self would doodle in class when imagining a boyfriend. He perpetually looks immaculate and chiseled, whether clean-shaven with sideburns in Bridgerton or while sporting scruff and "slutty little glasses" as he runs from dinosaurs."
People bestowed its Sexiest Man Alive title on Jonathan Bailey. The timing aligns with promotional cycles for Wicked: For Good and the streaming release of Jurassic World Rebirth. The honor functions as part of a larger PR machine often reserved for stars with projects to promote, and some notable actors have reportedly declined the accolade. Magazine staff presented twin covers and used a boastful subheading. Bailey receives emphasis for physical attractiveness—deep brown eyes, a cheeky grin, a highly toned physique—and for performing versatility, including singing, dancing, and a polished British accent.
