In the latest case of “attractive actor steals show with short shorts”, Jonathan Bailey has grabbed everyone’s attention at a Wicked photo call in Sydney.

You know the drill by now. Celeb heartthrob wears short shorts during some sort of public photo opportunity, the gays fall out. It happened with Pedro Pascal’s “slutty little knees” at the 2023 Met Gala, it happened with Paul Mescal’s boxer shorts during Milan Fashion Week this year, and now it’s Bailey’s turn.

The star, who plays eligible bachelor Fiyero in the upcoming screen adaptation of the hit theatrical musical, opposite Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, attended a photo call today (5 November) in the Australian capital, the day after the film premiered.

Having already proclaimed himself a “daddy” during an earlier press junket, the Bridgerton star joined the list of actors to get their short shorts on.

Another said: “I’m going into leg day today with this image of Jonathan Bailey etched into my brain,” while a third proclaimed: “Jonathan Bailey’s everything… works for me.”
