JONATHAN BAILEY LIGHTS UP FLORENCE AT BRUNELLO CUCINELLI DINNER

Viscount Anthony Bridgerton is still a hot topic. This was demonstrated by the evening organized by Brunello Cucinelli with a Summer Dinner full of international guests including Taron Egerton, James Cusati-Moyer and Jonathan Bailey himself the lead actor of the successful Netflix series Bridgerton.

Jonathan Bailey became a true friend of the brand soon after the success of the first season, fully embodying the gentlemanly style of the Tuscan brand.

He began expressing his interest in acting at just 5 years old after seeing Oliver! in the theater, the musical based on Charles Dickens’ novel Oliver Twist. At age 7 came the first part, he was Tiny Tim in The Royal Shakespeare Company’s A Christmas Carol. At 14 he made his official debut and then worked in a number of British TV series, from BBC’s Leonardo in 2011, to Broadchurch (2013) until becoming a protégé of Phoebe Waller Bridge. His first major recognition came in 2019, for his performance in Stephen Sondheim’s Company staged at the West End, with which he won the Laurence Olivier Award.

But it is with the role of Viscount Anthony Bridgerton that Jonathan Bailey achieves worldwide success and consecration; the second season of the Netflix series produced by Shonda Rhimes is dedicated entirely to him. In high demand by fashion brands and on the most exclusive red carpets, Bailey is shy of social life and very private about his private life, but rare red carpet appearances leave their mark.
