Top Jonathan Bailey Moments That Show His True Charm
Jonathan Bailey is having a great career run with back-to-back successes: Wicked, Bridgerton, Fellow Travelers, and now Jurassic World Rebirth, as the lead! And his online activity and interactions for his projects have caught the eyes of hundreds of fans.
It's so thrilling to watch him succeed.
Look, we all fell hard for his brooding lover era in Bridgerton (that eye contact? the angst?). But lately, Jonathan's been causing a full-blown internet meltdown with his chaotic but cute energy on press tours, interviews, and more. And I have to say—it has us HOOKED.
So let's dive right into some of Jonathan's most endearing, wholesome, and chaotic moments on the internet, which are too good to miss!
1. When he gladly accepted the "sl*tty little glasses" move, while also crediting Blakely Thornton for this phenomenon.
It's official: Jonathan Bailey admitted he knows about the trend and is going to support it. It's a win for us; we will get to see more of Jonathan in those little eyeglasses, and I cannot complain. Next, we need Andrew Garfield to also champion this, and the two of them need to become the ambassadors of this trend.
And if you haven't already seen it, here is Jonathan rocking those tiny eyeglasses:
It's a look.
2. When this friendly peck between him and Scarlett Johansson led to the internet melting—not once, but TWICE.
God really does have his favorites, and these pictures prove it.
And obviously, people were quick to react in the most relatable manner.
3. This sweet hug between Josh O'Connor and Jonathan Bailey got fans hyping up a possible collab between these two as co-leads of a film.
Even though they interacted only for a photo shoot, that sweet hug between the two immediately sparked casting wishes amongst fans. And honestly, both of the actors are at the peak of their careers, and who wouldn't love to see them together in a film?
The comments said all that needs to be said. If any Hollywood casting director is looking, this is the duo we need on-screen next!
4. The time he playfully took part in Alison Hammond's joke about safety rules in sex scenes and got her rightfully blushing throughout!
Alison Hammond, a famous British TV presenter known for making celebrities and guests quite literally die with laughter, took her chances with Jonathan, and honestly, it was so relatable. And as always, Jonathan Bailey is charming in whatever he does—he's 90% perfect hair, 10% jawline, and 100% babygirl. I mean, who wouldn't like a demonstration by the one and only Anthony Bridgerton on practicing safety on set? You can watch the entire interview here!
5. When he casually dropped how he handpicked the prosthetic p*enis for Fellow Travelers—and it's King behavior, honestly.
I have quite literally never seen a man approach prosthetic p*nis selection with this much emotional depth and Oscar-worthy intention. Jonathan Bailey turned it into a full-on art form. This is exactly why I signed up to be his fan. So humble and iconic.
6. When he wore these shorts for the Wicked premiere and sent the internet into a frenzy.
Men in short shorts is not new, with Paul Mescal and Josh O'Connor rocking shorts in paparazzi pictures. But we didn't know Jonathan Bailey would rock this look so effortlessly. But then again, how could he not? And once again, he has managed to rile up both straight and gay people on the internet.
Although the dig at Jeff Goldblum is unwarranted, this X user summarized all the fans' wishes in one sentence.
I could always listen to these two belting out vocals. Seeing these two is like pure dopamine—it always makes my day to see two icons having the best chemistry at their press tours.
8. And saving the best for last: when he wore flip-flops to the Jurassic World Rebirth premiere, and now we have some glorious feet pictures of Jonathan Bailey.
Flip-flops at a premiere? Only Jonathan Bailey can pull it off. It got photographers clicking snaps of his feet, and now the internet is flooded with them (for free as well). Looking effortlessly cool is not learned but inherited, and Jonathan has aced it.
Jonathan Bailey's success is only beginning, which means we will be seeing a lot more precious and chaotic moments of the actor in interviews and press tours. And will I ever get tired of seeing him on my screen?
Never.

The Twist Ending Of ‘28 Years Later,' Explained
Alfie Williams and Ralph Fiennes in '28 Years Later' Sony Pictures 28 Years Later is an unusual sequel, showing the aftermath of the Rage Virus of 28 Days Later , telling a compelling, stand-alone story that sets up another sequel for the franchise. 28 Days Later is credited with popularizing the 'fast zombie' to cinemas, and like many iconic zombie films, concludes with a plot twist hinting that humans are the real monsters. 28 Years Later takes a different approach—it's a late sequel and standalone coming-of-age story that illustrates how life moves on, even after the apocalypse, while setting up an intriguing sequel, The Bone Temple . The film begins with a bungled attempt by Jamie (Aaron-Taylor Johnson) to induct his twelve-year-old son Spike (Alfie Williams) into manhood by taking him on a scavenging hunt to the mainland where he can see the remnants of British society, and make his first kill. Spike feels deeply disappointed by his father when Jamie later lies about his prowess, and cheats on his chronically ill mother, Isla (Jodie Comer)—Isla is suffering from a mysterious ailment that leaves her disoriented and in pain. When Spike finds out that there's a doctor living on the mainland, he sets off with his mother to try and cure her sickness, leaving his father behind. Spike and his mother struggle to survive in the formidable landscape of post-apocalypse Britain, and discover that the Rage Virus has evolved. '28 Years Later' Introduces New Zombie Lore The original 28 Days Later is credited with introducing the 'fast zombie,' but the infected of this world aren't technically zombies at all—they're living hosts to the Rage Virus, which keeps victims in a state of psychotic fury. Unlike traditional zombies, the infected can starve to death, and can be taken down by a shot to the heart, but can withstand terrible pain and injury, seemingly without noticing, as their body is constantly flooded with adrenaline. While the infected don't exactly look their best, they're not as ravaged as traditional zombies, and do not seem to decay if they maintain a heavy protein diet. 28 Years Later introduces crawling, bloated bottom-feeders known as 'Slow Lows,' and 'Alphas,' which are much taller and stronger than the average infected. Alphas all seem to share a fixation with tearing out the heads and spinal columns of their victims, wielding them as a kind of hunting trophy. The film hints that there's more to these infected than what we once knew, as a pregnant infected woman gives birth to a non-infected baby, and displays a touch of humanity during her delivery. The Alpha who impregnated her seems horrified by her murder, implying that the infected don't just have sex lives, but seemingly, affectionate relationships. It's just a glimpse of humanity, but it's an intriguing development that hints that the infected could eventually evolve beyond mindless hoards. What Happens At The End Of '28 Years Later'? Spike and Isla take the miracle baby to shelter, a temple made of bones constructed by Dr. Kelson (Ralph Fiennes). While Spike's father was terrified of Kelson due to his fixation with the dead, Spike learns that the man is paying his respects to the deceased by maintaining a memorial tower of skulls. Kelson has learned to live in peace surrounded by violence, and chooses to subdue the infected with sedatives rather than slay them. Kelson tells Spike that his temple is an ode to the inevitability of death—he literally calls it a 'Memento Mori.' Kelson then diagnoses Isla with terminal cancer, underlining his point. Spike's mother informs him that she always felt that she was dying, but wanted someone else to tell him. Spike's father may have tried to harden him to the murderous life of a scavenger, but he never told him the bitter truth about his mother. Kelson teaches Spike how to grow beyond his parents, giving Isla a mercy killing and allowing Spike to place her skull on the top of the structure. Spike learns to accept death and suffering, but understands that he cannot lose hope. Hope, of course, is represented by the miracle baby, which Spike names after his mother. 28 Years Later draws a similar conclusion to the animated film The Boy and The Heron , proposing that the old ways are dying, and deservedly so, but something new is emerging from the embers. Spike leaves the newborn Isla with his community, then moves on, so he can travel the mainland in solitude. At the very end, Spike encounters the child we saw during the very first scene of the film, whose father abandoned him to religious delusion during the initial outbreak, a man known as 'Sir Jimmy Crystal' (Jack O'Connell). Sir Jimmy Crystal gives deeply unsettling vibes from the get-go, and while his bizarre gang of hoodlums do save Spike's life, it's implied that Spike may have wandered into a much worse situation. As 28 Days Later concludes, humans are the real monsters—we'll soon see what becomes of Spike when the upcoming sequel, The Bone Temple , is released.

'Stealing Pulp Fiction' Review - A Quirky Love Note To Tarantino And His Celebrated Film
In many ways, there is pre-Pulp Fiction cinema and then post-Pulp Fiction cinema. The use of non-linear storytelling, punchy dialogue, and soundtrack, all under the umbrella of independent cinema, changed the game. Inspirational across genres and imitated to the point of parody, Pulp Fiction earned its place in movie history and serves as a turning point for creative and bold storytelling that would define the 1990s and beyond. Enter the film Stealing Pulp Fiction, which goes beyond spoofing the quintessential Tarantino film and offers both praise for the classic movie and a unique yarn in its own right. 'The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the self.' Two buddies and film aficionados, Jonathan (Jon Rudnitsky) and Steve (Karan Soni), aspire to craft a get-rich-quick scheme. Thanks to their love of film, they take inspiration for a grand heist after watching Pulp Fiction at Quentin Tarantino's own theater. They will steal Pulp Fiction, but not just a print — a 35mm belonging personally to Tarantino. What begins as a simple heist becomes a comedy of errors. Joining Jonathan and Steven is Elizabeth (Cazzie David), and their eccentric therapist (Jason Alexander) on this colorful adventure that becomes a cheeky embrace of Tarantino's film. Director/writer Danny Turkiewicz pulls no punches from the start of this film. Turkiewicz shows us his love for the film and Tarantino's work, from the diner locale to the witty banter between Jonathan and Steve. Fans of Tarantino will marvel at this romp. There are nods and references, but never in a forced way. It would have been easy to make the characters copy-and-paste rip-off versions of the movie characters. Still, the effort to make us, the audience, care about this quirky pack adds a whole level of royál with cheese. The characters are comfortable with themselves. Jonathan is the schemer who secretly pines for Rachel (Taylor Hill), a patient in his therapist's office. Steve is the cautious planner and a hopeless romantic, and Elizabeth is the voice of reason. Her presence is for the detractors of Tarantino, which I found to be a nice touch. Interestingly enough, a subtle channeling of Mia Wallace in her character makes this entire exercise hilarious and a meta-commentary. Even Tarantino (not the real deal) appears in the film to pursue the guys after they make good on their deal to steal the 35mm print. It is far from a fully realized impression or imitation, but it embellishes the story with a bounce that cannot help but leave you smiling. Ultimately, the film becomes a charming send-up of Pulp Fiction. Stealing Pulp Fiction prides itself on, yes, being a love note to the famous director, but by using a lot of his rhythm and style to tell its own story. The use of Chapters, a common motif in a Tarantino film, is here in this one. Along with cross-cutting chummy banter, this movie has a tremendous energy that one cannot help but vibe with. Some may be disappointed in the lack of a full embrace of Tarantino's style, which is why this is better referred to as a love note than a love letter. The short runtime fails to give the movie adequate weight. Fortunately, the characters are interesting in their own right, leaving us wanting more than what we received. That is especially true of Jason Alexander, who adds his comedic timing to the quasi-world of Tarantino to significant effect. The movie hinders itself by not going full Tarantino. There is no stylized and expletive-filled violence or wholly memorable morally grey characters, but still, Stealing Pulp Fiction gives us a pleasant trip through LA. However, it may not be enough to break our full concentration on forgetting the real deal. Stealing Pulp Fiction will debut in select theaters and on digital platforms on June 27, 2025, courtesy of Tribeca Films.

King Charles and Idris Elba Team Up on Netflix Doc About Charity That 'Changed' Actor's Life
King Charles and Idris Elba are teaming up on a new Netflix documentary exploring the impact of The King's Trust, in celebration of the charity's 50th anniversary. Luther star Elba was the beneficiary of a grant from the Trust (then The Prince's Trust, before Charles had ascended to the British throne). For Elba, it was a small but life-changing opportunity, which enabled him to study acting. More from The Hollywood Reporter Hilary Rosen Appointed Deputy Chair of BAFTA's Board of Trustees Cannes Winners, Serbian Miniseries 'Absolute 100' Join KVIFF Lineup Chris Brown Pleads Not Guilty to U.K. Assault Charge The currently untitled doc will see Elba, founder of the Elba Hope Foundation, accompany the King as he offers rare access and insights into his support for the Trust over the past five decades. At its heart, Netflix says, will be the compelling stories of some of the 1 million young people the charity has helped around the world. 'The King's Trust gave me an opportunity that changed my life,' Elba said. 'At a time when I didn't have the resources to pursue my ambitions, they offered real, practical support — including financial help — that helped me take those first steps to advance my career.' He continued: 'Today, through the Elba Hope Foundation, I'm focused on creating those same opportunities for young people who are full of potential but lacking access. Around the world, millions are still waiting for that one door to open. This documentary is about shining a light on what's possible when it does — and why the work of The King's Trust remains so important.' The documentary, which begins filming next week and will launch on Netflix in fall 2026, is produced by 22 Summers, a production company founded by Elba and Diene Petterle. Ashley Francis-Roy directs. Alongside Petterle, the other executive producers are Jonathan Smith and Eva Omaghomi. Clare Bradbury will serve as showrunner. 'Nobody understands the impact of this work better than those who have experienced the support we offer first hand,' said Jonathan Townsend, U.K. chief executive of The King's Trust. 'As a long-term supporter and former beneficiary of The Trust himself, Idris will undoubtedly bring a unique perspective to this groundbreaking documentary as he peels back the layers of our story and shows how our life-changing work is as relevant today as it has ever been.'
