Jonathan Bailey Reveals How He Filmed ‘Wicked,’ ‘Bridgerton,’ And ‘Fellow Travelers’ At The Same Time

Buy Me A Coffee

Ever wondered what happens when you try to film three major projects simultaneously? Let Jonathan Bailey be your cautionary tale. The 36-year-old actor recently revealed what it was like juggling Wicked, Bridgerton, and Fellow Travelers all at onceβ€”and spoiler alert: his hair didn’t make it out alive.

Jonathan, who’s been busier than a squirrel in autumn, hit peak chaos when he found himself hopping between a green-skinned witch’s lair, a Regency-era ballroom, and a 1960s political thriller like a caffeine-fueled Energizer Bunny. And no, this isn’t the plot of a bizarre crossover episodeβ€”it was his actual life.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Jonathan spilled the tea about his whirlwind schedule. “I think I went 32 days straight without a day off,” he said, likely counting each one like a prisoner tallying days on a wall. “I flew back and forth four times. I’d go from Hawk’s house in the β€˜60s, run straight to the airport, sleep on the plane, teleport to a Regency ball, snooze a bit there, and then teleport to Wicked to learn some choreography.”

Imagine trying to decide whether to perfect your American accent, practice a waltz, or deal with hair that’s been fried by more heat tools than a celebrity hairstylist at Fashion Week. Jonathan’s solution? Just do all three and hope for the best. “I was late to the Wicked party because they’d already started filming, and let me tell you, there’s nothing quite like trying to learn choreography while your hair is contemplating filing for a restraining order,” he quipped.

And if you’re wondering if he’d ever willingly sign up for this madness again, Jonathan’s answer is a resounding “nope.”

“I probably wouldn’t rush into doing that again,” he admitted. “But hey, I powered through and eventually took a five-day holiday to recover. By then, my hair was in such bad shape from being permed for Bridgerton and straightened for Fellow Travelers that it decided to peace out. Picture a teenage beauty ad gone wrongβ€”me on a beach, hair drifting away in the breeze like it was auditioning for a shampoo commercial gone dark. I looked and felt completely insane.”
