Bridgerton’s Jonathan Bailey and singer Ariana Grande, who are playing Fiyero and Glinda respectively, were pictured looking ethereal on the set of Wicked
Bridgerton’s Jonathan Bailey and Ariana Grande looked magical in their costumes on the set of Wicked.
The actor, who is best known as hunky Viscount Anthony Bridgerton in the Netflix series, has taken on the role of Fiyero in the adaption.
He is starring in the musical alongside superstar Ariana and The Colour Purple actress Cynthia Erivo.
Jonathan, 35, looked dapper in a gorgeous green and gold suit with black boots and gold shoulder pads.
He had his luscious brown hair slicked back as he stood alongside 7 Rings singer Ariana, 29.
The two were on set in Buckinghamshire and were surrounded by endless flowers and decorations.
Wicked, which is mostly set before Dorothy’s arrival in Oz, tells the story from the perspective of the witches, Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, played by Cynthia and Glinda, the Good Witch, played by Ariana.
Meanwhile, Jonathan is Fiyero – who is at the centre of a love triangle between Elphaba and Glinda.
Fiyreo gets engaged to Glinda but his feelings for Elphaba soon surface and he helps her escape.
Ariana looked out of this world in an iridescent gown with elaborate flowing sleeves and a cinched waist.
She rocked blonder hair and eyebrows and completed the magical ensemble with a tiara and a beautiful wand.
The duo seemed to have a blast on set as they keeled over with laughter in between filming.
Jonathan’s role in the film was confirmed by director Jon M Chu when he tweeted in September: “He’s perfect, they’re perfect. They’d be perfect together. Born to be forever.”
He continued: “I am too excited to pretend this hasn’t been happening. We have a Fiyero!!!!”
Wicked is based on Gregory Maguire’s 1995 novel of the same name and was first performed on Broadway in 2003 before opening at the Apollo Theatre in London three years later.
Other stars in the movie include Michelle Yeoh, Jeff Goldblum, Kristin Chenoweth and Bowen Yang.
Jonathan is a seasoned stage actor and has appeared on stage since he was a child. He appeared in Les Misérables, A Christmas Carol, Othello, King Lear, The Last Five Years, and Company.
He gained international recognition when he joined regency romance series Bridgerton.
