Jonathan Bailey Thinks ‘Everyone Over 40 Should Be Forced To Watch’ “Heartstopper”

Speaking to Variety about his then-upcoming Heartstopper cameo earlier this year, Jonathan said: “Like so many people I watched the first series and I just thought it was one of the biggest, most beautiful gifts to so many people. And I wished I’d had that growing up.”

He added that because he has a mutual friend with Heartstopper producer Patrick Walters, he was able to pass along a message which said: “If there’s anything I could do to help and be a part of that story…”

The British performer is currently on the promo trailer for the new Wicked movie, in which he stars opposite Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande as Fieryo.

While he’s primarily known for his on-screen roles in the likes of Bridgerton, Fellow Travelers and Broadchurch, Jonathan is also an established theatre actor, winning an Olivier for his supporting performance in the musical, Company.
