Despite the tough moments, Jonathan has made sure to lean into his identity confidently.

The Crashing actor told Vanity Fair: 'Doing Bridgerton - it's funny what comes with doing a lot of press, and suddenly there's a lot that people want to know about you, and there's a lot that's asked of you that, obviously, in any other industry, you wouldn't have to talk about.

And while he’s captured hearts onscreen, the 37-year-old—who publicly came out as gay in 2018—went on to note that he doesn’t think his work on Bridgerton has helped him with romance at all.

Speaking to British Vogue, Jonathan described his experience of coming to terms with his sexuality as “a gradual realization.”

“I think other people understood my sexuality before I was even aware of it,” he said.

The actor noted that he even dated a girl in his 20s.

“It’s interesting with the binary,” he said, “where you’re perceived to be either this or that.

The news articles, Tweets, and blog posts do not represent IMDb's opinions nor can we guarantee that the reporting therein is completely factual. Of course, I thought that in order to be happy, I needed to be straight...I reached a point where I thought, ‘F*** this.’ I’d much prefer to hold my boyfriend’s hand in public or be able to put my own face picture on Tinder and not be so concerned about that than getting a part.”

That said, Bailey does tend to keep his private life private.
