Jonathan Bailey knows his way around a woodwind
Today, @ClassicFm released a video on Instagram of the Jurassic World: Rebirth star paying a visit to the famed Abbey Road Studios, where composer Alexandre Desplat was recording the score for the film with a 105-piece-strong orchestra.
The actor has been performing music since he was five, and he played in an orchestra when he was 18. 'If you could have told me at that age that one day there was an opportunity to play with a 105-piece orchestra at Abbey Road with Alexandre Desplat conducting both the John Williams score and also his own incredible original score, I would not quite believe it,' said Bailey in the video. Initially, the actor was there just to sit in on the session, but Desplat invited him to play the clarinet solo for his character, as well. Bailey, initially surprised, put his lips to the instrument and proceeded to blow everyone away.
'That was a highlight, a highlight of my life,' Bailey added. Can this man be any more charming? Every time we think he's peaked, he finds a new way to make us absolutely adore him. What he recorded that day is the version that appears in the film.
Watch the video below.

In a cover story with Harper's BAZAAR published on Tuesday, Aug. 19, the pop star reflected on her relationships before meeting her fiancé, 35. Lipa, 29, who met Turner through the poet and singer Mustafa, discussed how incredible falling in love has been for her. 'I love love. It is a beautiful thing,' she told the publication, adding. 'It's a really inspiring thing. You find yourself so intensely falling all the time in the best way possible.' Added Lipa: 'That vulnerability is so scary, but I feel so lucky to get to feel it. I've spent a lot of time being guarded or protecting my heart, and so I'm letting go of that feeling and just being like, 'Okay, if I'm supposed to get hurt, then this is what's going to happen.' I have to just allow love.' Of her relationship with Turner, the "Training Season" musician said she was "happier than ever." "So it feels like I'm doing a disservice by not talking about it," Lipa said of their romance. She noted that her personal life is "very vulnerable" as a public person. "It's not like I don't want to share it," said Lipa. The "New Rules" hitmaker confirmed her engagement to Turner in a June interview with British Vogue. 'Yeah, we're engaged. It's very exciting," she told the outlet. Lipa also told the publication that her engagement ring was made after Turner spoke with her best friends and her sister. 'I'm obsessed with it. It's so me," she said. "It's nice to know the person that you're going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well.' At the time, according to Lipa, the pair hadn't begun wedding planning. 'I want to finish my tour, Callum's shooting, so we're just enjoying this period," Lipa said. "I've never been someone who's really thought about a wedding, or dreamt about what kind of bride I would be. All of a sudden I'm like: 'Oh, what would I wear?'" The "Levitating" artist didn't understand the "weight" of getting married before it happened. 'This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don't know, be best friends forever – it's a really special feeling," said Lipa. Lipa and Turner initially sparked romance rumors in January 2024 when they were first spotted together at the Masters of Air afterparty following its London premiere. At the time, the duo were captured in a video slow dancing. Read the original article on People
