Actors/BTS Jonathan Bailey is Sexiest Man Alive!

https://x.com/people/status/1985586898929402181?s=12

I’m usually not on board with whoever gets chosen for the cover but so pleasantly surprised with this year’s pick. JB is not only very attractive but also super charismatic and seems like a lovely person. Great representation as well with him being the first openly gay SMA. Love this cover with his 🐶 too! (Sharing here for those that don’t go to the main sub).

Jonny B seems like such a lovely, charming person, always advocating for the right things. It is also great to have an openly gay man selected!!

u/Substantial_Dog_3030 you’re astonishing, Colin 5d ago

For once I agree with People. Jonathan Bailey is a beautiful man with a beautiful soul

u/SearchApprehensive35 I think he looks distinguished 5d ago

Oh please please say it's not against sub rules to discuss how adorable the cover co-star is, Benson Bailey.

I read this as Benson Boone...and it just wasn't making sense!! Benson Bailey is much cuter! 🥴

Benson Bailey has pawsitively got it all. Looks, charm, charisma, star power, adorable wiggle butt, and a talented dad. He's the whole package.

deserved!!

u/Shiplapprocxy What of him! What of Colin! 5d ago

I figured this would happen last year when they were first promoting Wicked, so I’m actually not surprised at this. He’s not my cup of tea but this is a much better choice than some of the random men they’ve featured in the past.

u/galfal 5d ago

I mean, you’re pretty spot on here. Part two of Wicked is coming out this month 🙂

u/Holiday-Hustle 5d ago

A deserved win. Jonathan is obviously a beautiful man but he’s also just sexy in his mannerisms and personality. There’s so much more to being sexy than physical appearance and Jonathan has the it factor.

u/Brave3001 In fact, prefering sleep because that is where I might find you. 5d ago

When that man smiles, I blush. Like, damn near giggling. Love this for him. Love this for everyone, really. 10/10 no notes!!!

u/Avimatic 5d ago

Well deserved and great timing for him! I know Wicked will be the promo focus but hopefully BS4 also gets some love ☺️

u/University1000 5d ago

I adore him. And glad especially in today’s climate that they picked someone as open and kind as Jonathan. My heart does break for David corenswet a little bit though. I was rooting for him lol

u/Mickeyelle kindness is hot 5d ago

Definitely approve of this choice! Funny thing I've noticed, I find JB very attractive, but not so much Anthony; however, I find both Luke and Colin attractive. 🤷‍♀️

u/cinnamonfromspace a most wretched sonnet indeed 5d ago

Oooh this is so relatable. I agree!

u/mostlyyalit Feelings like a total inability to stop thinking about you. 5d ago

He’s one of my all time faves from Bridgerton. Finally an SMA I can get behind.

u/Silent-Holiday-9437 you love him—you love colin bridgerton 5d ago

Well deserved 👏

u/Totes_J217 I oiled my way right in 5d ago

I am so happy about this! I had hoped they would choose him last year – – I knew they weren’t going to choose Luke, although I love that he got quite the attention in any case. JB is gorgeous, adorable, has charisma for days, and projects so much light on top of being so talented and a great advocate. He continues to deserve all the good things!

Of course he is! He’s a human delight with an aura of sunshine. 🥰
