The man of your dreams, the keeper of your heart, and the love of your life is ruling headlines and turning heads worldwide. Jonathan Bailey, your favorite Bridgerton actor, is crowned the Sexiest Man Alive 2025 by PEOPLE Magazine. Yes, we accepted that a long time ago, kept it a secret, and silently swooned over him (every time, every day), but now it is a fact. Since he has bagged the official tag, you don’t have to mind calling him anything but sexy. 

Solidifying his stand among Hollywood’s most charming and magnetic stars, Jonathan clearly knows how to raise temperatures with his captivating personality, striking appearances, and chiselled physique. The English entered the club of sexiest men on the 40th anniversary of PEOPLE. Popular as ‘Lord Anthony Bridgerton’ from Bridgerton, fans and admirers around the world are jubilant!

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.
