We can’t wait to see Jonathan Bailey slay the silver screen when Wicked hits theaters this November — but in the meantime, a new story he shared has the gays thirsty for some behind the scenes content.
In a new promotional video for Wicked, Bailey recalled his first in-person meeting for the movie after being cast.
“It was with the guy that made my ‘Dancing Through Life’ boots,” Bailey explained, referencing his character’s first big musical number. “I think I flew over on a Tuesday, and then I was filming Bridgerton on Wednesday to Saturday, and as I got there, nothing arrived. So all I had was my Fiyero boots.”
Ever one to find the bright side in a sticky situation, Bailey made the most of his limited wardrobe: “There’s an amazing photo that no one’s ever gonna see of me in nothing but my boots, which sort of felt right for Fiyero somehow,” he said.

A photo of Bailey, one of Hollywood’s biggest gay heartthrobs, in nothing but leather boots? And he’s refusing to share it with the world!? Talk about cruel.

Naturally, the gays are desperate to see the picture, begging Bailey for it across social media. (“Show me to me, Rachel” has become a common refrain.)

But until Bailey changes his mind about keeping the pic a secret, we’ll have to be satisfied watching him in the Wicked trailers over and over. Check out the most recent trailer below.
