Before he starts dodging CGI dinosaurs and giving dead-serious interviews about “themes of evolution and humanity”, Jonathan Bailey decided to take a break and live his best la dolce vita life. Because let’s be honest—who wouldn’t want to be sipping fancy drinks on a rooftop in Italy instead of pretending to be chased by a T-Rex in front of a green screen?
The Bridgerton-blessed, stage-slaying, dino-dodging king himself, Jonathan Bailey, was spotted luxuriating in Santa Cesarea Terme, Puglia, on Monday, May 26. Yes, you heard right. While you were microwaving leftovers in your sad little kitchen, Jonathan was perched on a coastal rooftop, sippin’ on a Martini Bianco Spritz, looking like he invented relaxation.
He wasn’t alone either—he had a friend with him, probably someone equally fabulous, because fabulous people don’t vacation solo. They vacation in pairs, with matching sunglasses and mysterious laughter that echoes over the Adriatic.
Now, before you start judging his vacation glow-up, know this: he earned it. Jonathan just finished playing a tortured royal in the West End’s Richard II. That’s Shakespeare, babes. He’s been monologuing in iambic pentameter while wearing velvet robes under hot stage lights. He deserves this spritz.
But the tranquility won’t last long. Our boy is about to go full chaos mode for the press tour of Jurassic World: Rebirth, roaring into theaters July 2. Which means soon he’ll be answering 500 variations of “What was it like working with the dinosaurs?” and dodging spoiler questions like he’s dodging Velociraptors.
Also, in case your brain missed the true luxury flex in this story—Jonathan was dressed head-to-toe in full designer armor: Gucci polo, Valentino pants, Bottega Veneta shoes. If style were a dinosaur, Jonathan Bailey would be a couture-clad velociraptor on the runway of Milan Fashion Week. Chic. Deadly. Spritz-powered.
Jonathan Bailey is out here vacationing like the Roman gods intended, getting tan and tipsy before the Jurassic madness begins. And honestly? Mood.
