Is Jonathan Bailey Gay?
The 33-year old Jonathan opened his thoughts in public about his true identity. While many audiences may not realize yet, the actor is openly gay. However, he noted further that he doesn’t have any problem playing straight roles in various movies.
During his interview with Digital Spy, he said:
“Good actors can do anything, and there’ll be amazing writers who are willing to write for everyone. If there are people who don’t have access to creating their own TV shows or telling the stories they want to tell, then absolutely, everyone has to make space for them. That’s not just to do with gender or sexuality. It’s to do with race, religion and everything else.”
Further, Jonathan stands for the rights and privileges of the LGBTQ, especially about same-sex marriage. In 2019, he appeared in an interview with the Attitude Magazine, and he explained:
“Gay men should be able to get married, it shouldn’t be seen as a privilege, absolutely we should.”
In the series, however, Jonathan plays a straight man. It is the other Bridgerton brother, Benedict, who fans started speculating to be gay. One scene that the audience might have missed suggested that Benedict is, in fact, gay. This is the scene where Benedict saw two men hugging intimately while naked, and with no disgust, Benedict gave them privacy.
