The 37-year-old British actor made his first public appearance since being named PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive 2025 at the 'Wicked: For Good' premiere in São Paulo, Brazil.

The trio was joined by local hosts Jeniffer Nascimento and Larissa Manoela as they celebrated the highly anticipated musical sequel.

Jonathan Bailey is Embracing a New Title 

In addition to promoting 'Wicked: For Good,' Bailey has been embracing his new title as Sexiest Man Alive—an honour he described as flattering and surreal. He admitted that keeping the recognition under wraps before it was announced had been difficult, but he was looking forward to seeing the reactions from his friends and family once the news broke.

The 'Bridgerton' star also joked that his closest friends would likely tease him about the accolade, knowing the more down-to-earth version of him behind the celebrity persona. According to Jonathan Bailey, they've witnessed his journey from his early acting days to international fame, so the idea of being labelled the "sexiest man" would amuse them most of all.
