Jonathan Bailey is turning up the heat.
Insiders have revealed to Page Six that the talented actor, known for his captivating portrayal of Fiyero in the blockbuster film “Wicked,” has been chosen as this year’s Sexiest Man Alive by People magazine.
The exciting announcement is set to be made public this evening on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,” according to our source.
Bailey was already in the spotlight last year when People magazine’s readers placed him on the reader’s choice list, recognizing him in various categories, including the “Sexiest Fiyero.”
Beyond his impressive vocal talents that seem to defy gravity, Bailey has also captured hearts with his compelling performance as Lord Anthony Bridgerton in the popular series “Bridgerton.”
Fans have also loved the chemistry between Scarlett Johansson and Bailey, who is openly gay, as the two pals and co-stars smooched on the carpet and gave charismatic interviews for their flick “Jurassic World Rebirth.”
This year marks the 40th Anniversary of People’s special cover issue.
Past winners have included Patrick Dempsey, John Legend, Channing Tatum, Ryan Reynolds, Dwayne the Rock Johnson, Denzel Washington, David Beckham and Matthew McConaughey.
Fallon himself has gotten in on saucy fun. Last year the late night host was nominated in the Reader’s Choice poll, putting out a parody attack ad on his competition, “Live With Kelly and Mark” star Mark Consuelos.
“Mark Conseul-who?” said the joke ad.
“Earlier this week, I asked Mark Consuelos to drop out of the race,” Fallon said on his show at the time. “He doesn’t need this. He’s sexy every day. I don’t even get on these lists at all.”
Fallon finally got a win this year, being named “Sexiest Game Show Host,” in the poll.
