Here’s How Cynthia Erivo Supported Jonathan Bailey — Who Has ADHD — On The “Wicked” Red Carpet

If you didn’t know, ADHD stands for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Per the ADAA, it is a “condition characterized by an ongoing pattern of inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, issues with executive functioning, or a combination,” and it’s estimated that roughly 8 million adults in the US have it.

During the LA screening of Maestro in Dec. 2023, Jonathan was filmed telling red carpet photographers that he struggles to stand still and pose due to the disorder.

Bringing this into view now, one X user wrote, “cynthia trying to help jonny and jonny saying ‘i find it so hard to stand still’ actually makes me wanna sob after hearing him tell photographers he has adhd and can’t stand still and then them proceeding to continue yelling at him to stand still, without fail, every time.”

Someone else replied, “It would’ve made me even more anxious… Idk how he does it but I’m honestly so proud of him. and these photographers need to just do their job and stop yelling at him.”
