Jonathan Bailey makes history as the first openly gay man to be named People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive. Photographed by Jason Hetherington & styled by Emma Jade Morrison.
One of the few times I can remember where they have actually gotten it right.
He’s such a beautiful/genuinely delightful man.

Jonathan Bailey said gay rights AND Emmy worthy cheekbones. History made, hydration mandatory.

I wholeheartedly agree with this for once.
And I just wanna say I found him attractive even with the sideburns from season one of Bridgerton. I saw the vision back then and I have the screenshots to prove it 😌

Why is sexiest man alive written like a manifesto, or Mulaney trying to write Happy Birthday.

old enough to remember when all men died and blake shelton was the only living specie alive.
glad to see we’re past the “man alive” and are now focusing on the actual “sexiest man alive”

I think stuff like this is a joke bc money changes hand for this sort of stuff bc it’s about selling something.
BUT given this is first openly gay man then I say well done.

FINALLY someone I can agree with! But also how is anyone allowed to be this hot?

Photo 7 – wowza!

But also, he’s amazing in Wicked. I’m a musical theatre nerd and have seen my fair share of Fiyeros and he absolutely nails the role.
