Jonathan Bailey says Bridgerton role did not improve real-life romance during Chicken Shop Date interview
"It's fantasy, isn't it? Romance is grounded and real," Bailey said when host Amelia Dimoldenberg asked if the show had made him better at love. His response underlined the divide between on-screen passion and everyday relationships.
The interview took a humorous turn when Bailey told Dimoldenberg he could picture her in the Bridgerton world. When she asked if he could cast her, he laughed, admitting he had 'no power' but could 'put a word in.' Asked what kind of character she'd play, Bailey joked she'd be 'really uptight'—a 'potential spinster,' sparking an animated reaction from the host.
Bailey is currently promoting Jurassic World Rebirth, where he stars alongside Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali. In an interview with People, Bailey described the project as a clear summer blockbuster from the outset, saying the cast felt the energy on set from day one.
Johansson echoed his enthusiasm, telling People she hopes the film captures the wonder of the original Jurassic Park for a new generation. 'It makes you dream,' she said.
The full interview with Bailey is available now on Chicken Shop Date's YouTube channel. His remarks offer a charming contrast to the romance-driven persona fans know from Bridgerton—a reminder that even TV's most eligible bachelors are just regular people off-screen.

How Hailey Bieber shaped Justin Bieber's ‘Swag' album amid split rumors
Justin Bieber shocked fans with the surprise release of his seventh studio album, Swag, on July 11, 2025—his first since 2021. The album arrives amid swirling rumors about his marriage to Hailey Bieber, their new baby, and his split from longtime manager Scooter Braun. According to sources close to the couple, Hailey had a major role behind the scenes of Swag, helping shape what insiders are calling Justin's 'most creatively free' album yet. While many headlines in the past year focused on tension in their marriage, a source told People that Hailey was deeply involved during the album's creation. 'Everyone knows Justin as a performer. They now get to know the artist Hailey has always known,' the insider said. The couple recently welcomed their son, Jack Blues, making Swag a milestone in both their personal and professional lives. Hailey reportedly encouraged Justin to trust his instincts and speak his truth. The emotional track 'WALKING AWAY,' which directly addresses marital struggles with lyrics about 'growing pains' and promises not to leave, has sparked speculation about their relationship status. Yet sources emphasize Hailey's unwavering support. Beyond personal lyrics, the album also features Justin sampling viral moments like his 'standing on business' paparazzi quote, giving Swag both cultural weight and emotional depth. With features from Sexyy Red, Druski, and Dijon, and praise from critics like Rolling Stone, Swag is a bold new chapter—both musically and personally—for Justin Bieber.
