People Magazine just released their annual Sexiest Man Alive issue, with actor and filmmaker John Krasinski snagging the title. And included in the issue was Luke Newton. He attributes this newly recognized accolade to the work that went into preparing for being the focal point of Bridgerton ’s third season, as he told People:

This year, the steamy period drama saw Newton transform into a romantic lead, and he took the glow-up seriously. Colin “had changed and become a man, and I wanted to embody that physically,” he says.

Luke Newton has shared his incredible transformation into hunky Colin on Bridgerton after being featured in People's Sexiest Men Alive issue.

Jonathan Bailey is dancing through life — and a ton of different Hollywood projects. “He was literally shooting Bridgerton and learning the choreography on his days off,” recalls Ariana Grande, his costar in movie musical Wicked.

Jonathan Bailey has revealed he had an unexpected Bridgerton reunion on the set of Wicked. The actor plays role of Fiyero in the big screen musical adaptation, and shared that the horse he worked with was the same one he enjoyed screen time with as Anthony Bridgerton on the Netflix show.

Both his characters–Fiyero in Wicked and Anthony Bridgerton in Bridgerton —are horseback riders, and so both projects required Bailey to work closely with an animal. In this case, it was the same horse.
