    Jonathan Bailey Facts

  • He was brought up in Wallingford, Oxfordshire in England.
  • He had made up his mind to be an actor at the age of 5 after watching the stage production of Oliver. His first captive audience comprised his sisters and while his parents had never gone to a theatre, they became his proud audience. His parents had been extremely supportive of him and would drop him for rehearsals in Clapham.
  • Jonathan has recalled that he was a ballet dancer for many years during his childhood so much so that there was once a time when it was the dance form that most people associated him with. It was later that he decided to get fully involved in acting.

Discussing gay actors acting straight, he has revealed that he has believed it should never matter what character people play, but he is aware that openly gay men usually do not portray straight in central roles. He has pointed out how many straight men have played iconic gay roles and been lauded for that, and he has stated that it would be brilliant to see real gay men play their own personal experience.
  • Jonathan has disclosed that the intense sideburns that he has sported, while playing the character of Jonathan in Bridgerton since December 2020, have been real.
  • He has revealed that he is a little superstitious having done things like flicking the watch five times before a show.
