Wicked’s Jonathan Bailey reveals he was ‘hyper aware of his Sєxuality’ after playing a straight character and says making Heartstopper made him ‘nostalgic for what could have been’

Jonathan Bailey has revealed he was very aware of his Sєxuality after playing a straight character in Netflix’s smash hit Bridgerton.

The actor, 36, who is openly gay, explained that the media attention that came with the famous show put his Sєxuality into the spotlight.

Jonathan added that he felt very strange after his private life became part of the publicity for the show.

The Wicked star contrasted his experience on Bridgerton with working on Heartstopper, which he said he found cathartic, as he played a gay character.

The Crashing actor told Vanity Fair: ‘Doing Bridgerton – it’s funny what comes with doing a lot of press, and suddenly there’s a lot that people want to know about you, and there’s a lot that’s asked of you that, obviously, in any other industry, you wouldn’t have to talk about.
