Jonathan Bailey: The Sexiest Man Alive 2025
Before you get thirst-trapped, this author wants to let you know that he is the first openly gay man to be bestowed with the title. In an interview, Jonathan says, “It’s a huge honor. Obviously, I’m incredibly flattered. And it’s completely absurd.” His selection as the sexiest man was announced on ‘The Tonight Show‘ starring Jimmy Fallon on November 3, 2025. The 37-year-old personality has been ruling the screens and hearts for a prolonged period of time, but this year hits different and is indeed extra special. Channing Tatum, Idris Elba, Blake Shelton, and Adam Levine are the other sexiest men alive. Bailey takes the mantle from “The Office” alum John Krasinski, who was the 2024 selection.
Movie buffs can’t resist admiring his dramatic, comedic, and intense characters, both in films and web series. Through films like Wicked and Jurassic Park, the actor has gained widespread recognition, but his portrayal of Anthony Bridgerton in the Netflix period drama Bridgerton placed him straight under the spotlight.
