Jonathan Bailey, the 37-year-old British actor, climbed to international fame following his stint as Lord Anthony Bridgerton on the Netflix romance series that premiered in 2020. He also recently starred in Wicked and Jurassic World Rebirth, both of which were massive hits.

He has now become the first openly gay man to be named People Magazine's 'Sexiest Man Alive,' a title he said is an "honor." During the Monday, November 3 episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the actor reflected on history last accolade, noting that it was "the honor of a lifetime." He also thanked the Fallon for "turning it down so that I could be here."

The title reportedly comes as part of the 40th anniversary of the competition. Jonathan Bailey told Fallon that he's still giddy from being honored with it, and when asked about where he was, he said:

"At the beginning of the year I was doing Shakespeare's Richard II — for those of you who don't know, it's not a comedy. And we were, I think, 30 shows into 103 shows."

He explained that he was taking headshots in the middle of an art production when he found out.

"I was in the zone," he admitted, chuckling at his theatrical pictures. "You go slightly mad and the only thing madder than doing Richard II is being invited to this." Bailey added: "And also in 2025, I'm sort of thrilled that PEOPLE magazine have invited someone in to bestow this honor on someone who can really cherish the value of a sexy man."

He also recounted breaking the news to some of his friends, who at the time did not believe him.

"I was like, 'Guys, guys.. I'm the Sexiest Man Alive.' And they were like, 'Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do your affirmations..' I mean, it's just an honor, isn't it?"
