“It’s a huge honor,” the Emmy-nominated “Fellow Travelers” actor said of his newest accolade. “Obviously I’m incredibly flattered. And it’s completely absurd. [Laughs] It’s been a secret, so I’m quite excited for some friends and family to find out.”
The “Bridgerton” breakout said that, at the time the cover interview was conducted, he’d only “told my dog Benson,” who was photographed as part of the story.
“But no, I haven’t [told anyone]. How do you spell…NDA?” quipped Bailey.

Bailey, who takes the Sexiest Man Alive title from 2024 honoree John Krasinski, is gearing up for the Nov. 21 release of Jon M. Chu’s “Wicked: For Good,” which concludes the blockbuster adaptation of the Broadway hit.
Bailey will reprise his role of love interest Fiyero in the “Wizard of Oz” prequel, opposite Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba and Ariana Grande’s Glinda.
The film, which features two new songs, is already garnering Oscar buzz, not least because of the first installment’s 10 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actress (Erivo), and Best Supporting Actress (Grande). Of those 10 nods, the first installment won two: Best Costume Design and Best Production Design.
