Jonathan Bailey is having a great year. In addition to his starring role in Wicked: For Good, the actor was also named 2025’s Sexiest Man Alive and now, he’s been handed one hell of a compliment from David Corenswet.

On this week’s Actors on Actors episode, David compliments Jonathan’s “f*cking massive arms,” as seen in one of his Wicked: For Good scenes.
“Every man out there would think, ‘there’s no way you can look masculine and powerful and in control when you’re being levitated by a woman’,” David said of the scene in which Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba picks up Jonathan’s Prince Fiyero.
“You somehow maintained your masculinity,” the host added, commenting on Jonathan’s “f*cking massive arms,” which he’s picked up by. “It was just amazing, that moment was amazing.”
“Well done, mate,” David continued. “Because it’s a lot easier when you get to carry the girl.”
“It was a total honor,” Jonathan said in response. “And listen, I’d be carried by both Cynthia and Ariana [Grande] for the rest of my life if I could.”
In the YouTube comments section, fans also had a lot to say about Jonathan’s impressive good looks. Both in the movie and, well, in general. “Pls, not when I’m ovulating,” one fan replied. “My eyes are pregnant,” another said, as a third added: “They knew what they were doing with this.”
“This is the female gaze,” someone else commented, with another writing: “I LOVE that David felt the need to compliment Jonathan’s biceps, cause honestly, same.”
Thankfully, fans (us included) won’t have to wait long to see Jonathan’s arms back on screen. He will reprise his role of Anthony Bridgerton for Bridgerton Season 4, which returns to Netflix in January.
