Jonathan Bailey<\/span><\/strong> recently got the title of People\u2019s first openly gay Sexiest Man Alive<\/strong>, but the actor already has a tongue-in-cheek plan for how to outdo his own milestone in a conversation with David Corenswet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n As Bailey and Corenswet compared their parallel journeys from theater kids to blockbuster leads, the Wicked: For Good star admitted he\u2019s still adjusting to the whirlwind. <\/strong>\u201cI\u2019ve been plugged into some sort of matrix,\u201d he said. \u201cI feel like I\u2019ve been slowly working on the hardware over the years, but the software has just been accidentally upgraded exponentially.\u201d<\/p>\n Both actors shared how surreal it feels to suddenly become heartthrobs, especially after expecting modest stage careers. Bailey is juggling the glow of his major musical film release with his new Sexiest Man Alive title<\/a> \u2014 a label Corenswet couldn\u2019t resist teasing as the conversation turned playful. When Corenswet asked the big question, \u201cSo how do you top Sexiest Man Alive?\u201d Jonathan Bailey replied, \u201cUgliest.\u201d<\/p>\n This was one of the many viral moments as the two bonded over their theater roots, early performances, and the discipline behind blockbuster roles. They each emphasized process over pressure, with Bailey saying, \u201cIf it looks like it\u2019s something that you were born to do, then you\u2019ve done the work so well.\u201d<\/p>\n Their chemistry was especially evident when Corenswet praised Bailey\u2019s levitation scene in Wicked: For Good, insisting the actor maintained true leading-man stature even while being lifted by Cynthia Erivo. Bailey responded with, \u201cI mean, listen, I\u2019d be carried by both Cynthia and Ari for the rest of my life if I could be.\u201d<\/p>\n But the final banter sealed the moment. After Bailey joked that \u201cUgliest\u201d was the only possible way to top Sexiest Man Alive, the pair rose to wrap the interview, prompting Corenswet to quip, \u201cShould we kiss or something?\u201d (via Variety<\/a>)<\/p>\n The post Jonathan Bailey Has a Way To Top \u2018Sexiest Man Alive\u2019<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jonathan Bailey recently got the title of People\u2019s first openly gay Sexiest Man Alive, but the actor already has a tongue-in-cheek plan for how to outdo his own milestone in a conversation with David Corenswet.
