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.

Between filming ‘Bridgerton,’ ‘Fellow Travelers’ and the dance-heavy ‘Wicked,’ Jonathan Bailey is one busy actor

Jonathan Bailey talks about keeping his characters straight while rehearsing for Wicked and filming Bridgerton and Fellow Travelers at the same time, requesting to work with his horse from Bridgerton for Wicked and the amount of drones flying around on the Wicked set.

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.
