Jonathan Bailey Named People's Sexiest Man Alive 2025, Breaking Barriers
Jonathan Bailey has been named People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive for 2025, becoming the first openly gay man to receive the title. This comes after a 6% reduction in People's workforce last month.
The British actor, known for his roles in 'Bridgerton' and 'Doctor Who', follows John Krasinski, who held the title in 2024. Bailey's dog, Benson, even makes an appearance on one of the magazine covers. The title is not without controversy, as some past winners have faced challenges after receiving it, a phenomenon often referred to as the 'curse of the Sexiest Man Alive'. Brad Pitt was the first to receive the honour in 1995.
The Sexiest Man Alive title is not just about physical appearance. People Magazine editors consider various factors, and the public also gets to vote for categories like 'sexiest new dad in sports' and 'sexiest cat dad'. Neither the honoree nor the magazine pays each other for the title.
Jonathan Bailey, with his charisma and talent, has broken a barrier by becoming the first openly gay Sexiest Man Alive. Despite the 'curse' rumours, he joins an esteemed list of winners, including Brad Pitt and John Krasinski. People Magazine continues to recognise diverse and talented individuals for the prestigious title.
