Instead, Bailey decided to disregard his friend’s advice that he got during the early years of his career. Jonathan Bailey commented, “I have now reached a point in my job and career that I would prefer to hold the hand of my boyfriend in public. Even I may post my picture on Tinder or any other social media platform without any hesitation.” Luckily, the open-minded perspective of Bridgerton’s actor on Jonathan Bailey’s partner or his sexuality never hinders his acting career. Jonathan Bailey also said that he always enjoyed living a straight character and never thought sexuality should matter while filling roles. However, he admits that not every gay actor narrates his own story.
